Tips & Tricks In The Sims 4

What Traits Should My Sim Have?

When building in The Sims there are vital cheats that every builder needs to know but this month we move our focus to improve your gameplay.

With July being our Friendship and Community issue, we decided to focus on Friendships for Tips and Tricks and that's where being a Friend of The World Aspiration comes in.

Just how do you get this aspiration, how easy is it and are there any cheats to help you along the way? Find out below how we did with our Sim Billy Bob Thornton below!.

To be a Friend of the World in real life could take a lifetime but luckily this is The Sims and it is quite possible to have all this done within a week. To reach the final stage of The Friend of the World aspiration you need 20 friends, a BFF and to level up your charisma to 10.

We used the following Traits: Outgoing, Good and Cheerful, after all a cheerful Sim, is a happy Sim and a happy Sim means more friendships which in turn boosts your skill gain rate of Charisma. This is essential to reach your goal as the higher level of Charisma your Sim has, the more friendships they will be successful in gaining.

New in Town

In this first stage to reach success, you need to:

• Introduce yourself to 10 Sims

• Have 3 Friends simultaneously

Make sure to take your Sim to a place that has a lot of activity, that way making 3 friends in the day should be super easy and give you enough satisfaction points to buy the Observant reward.

The Observant Reward

This reward can make a big difference for the Friend of the World Aspiration, and if you make sure to learn all about the Traits of your potential Sims friends, then this will also show you which Sims have which traits and therefore are more compatible with your own Sim and more likely to become a friend.

Well Liked

To become Well-Liked, after completing the first stage of this Aspiration, send your Sim off to 3 different lot locations to introduce themselves to more Sims and reach level 4 in Charisma, the more Sims you meet that have common traits with your Sim the better as these will help out with the friendship requirements coming up next.

Super Friend

To be a Super Friend in this stage 3 of the Aspiration you need to reach level 6 of the Charisma Skill and this can be pretty easy too if you make sure to choose socials that will help to boost this skill and 12 friends simultaneously. Your Sim is now well on its way to being a Friend of the World so make sure to concentrate on making friends. One way to check who you have a better chance of b e c o m i n g friends with is to check on the relationship panel, if you make sure to concentrate on the Sims here you are closer to being friends with already, and your chances have improved far easily. Go hunt down those friends!

Friend of the World

You have reached the final stage (well done), and this should only take you around 4-5 Sim days to complete. In this final stage of the Aspiration you will need: 20 Sim Friends simultaneously, get your Sim to level 10 Charisma (cap that Charisma) and you need to make 1 BFF. In this stage, you are actually building up your Charisma whilst you make those final few friends for the 20 Friend overall requirement, well how about that!

The Beloved Reward Trait

Completing the Friend of the World Aspiration earns you the Beloved Reward Trait which in turn will help you keep all those glorious Sims friends you have made to take complete advantage of this make sure to move your Sims to Aspirations that require friendships and then you can focus on other aspects of the game such as focusing on your Sims skills or even their careers. You could do all of that and have a jolly old time making as many Sims friends as you can, but maybe you do not have the patience or the time, or maybe you want to complete this aspiration for another million and 1 reasons, so here are a few cheats that may just help you out in reaching that goal quicker.

RELATIONSHIP CHEATS

HOW?

Open the console/cheat panel in-game by pressing Ctrl, Shift & C together, once opened type in: testingcheats on

This will enable you to now input the cheat code below and add 50 points to your relationship score:

modifyrelationship xsimsnameherex osimsnamehereo 50 LTR_Friendship_Main (xsimsnameherex is your selected Sims name and osimsnamehereo is the targeted Sims name)

Maybe you want to remove a few points? Use this code:

modifyrelationship xsimsnameherex osimsnamehereo -50 LTR_Friendship_Main

Try this cheat code:

Relationships.create_friends_for_sim This will then spawn your Sim to another lot that will have a 50% friendship status already with your Sim so making that BFF is going to be a walk in the park!

This code is a gem:

Relationships.introduce_sim_to_all_others

This cheat code will then make your Sim acquaintances with ALL SIMS including dare I say it, recently deceased Sims too!

And lastly not forgetting that Charisma skill that needs topping out try this cheat code:

Stats.set_skill_level Major_Charisma ((1-10) add level here 1 lowest - 10 cap it out)

You are now a bonafide Friend of the World, whether you did it by following the rules or not, but then this is The Sims, your rules are The Rules and you can make them up as you go.
