But if you want to stop all unauthorized Sims from spawning, download the following:. Now, open up the game and go to the neighborhood selection screen. Click the arrow to the right until you see the blank box with a plus sign in it Create Custom Neighborhood.
Choose your neighborhood map in the next screen. If you followed part one of this tutorial series , you should already have your map installed. Or, you can choose one of the many maps that came installed with the game if you like.
Press the play button to load the template, name your neighborhood, and choose a terrain type. You can always add this part later. I usually never add one. First, exit your game completely.
When the neighborhood browser appears, scroll down until you see your custom neighborhood. When the Sim browser appears, it should be completely empty. They should all be completely blank. If you see any Sims listed here, you did something wrong in the steps above.
Your custom neighborhood is not empty as it should be. Delete your neighborhood and go through the steps again. If you do not see any Sims listed here, you did it right! It took me forever to figure it out and become comfortable with it. Thank you for making this series Cindy!
I had a question. I tried making a custom neighborhood using templates and it appeared to work quite well, but as I played, I noticed that every one of the newly generated NPCs not townies — npcs like waiters, gardeners, professors were male.
ALL of them. Have you ever had this happen? Thanks again! Hi there! Well you have to start the game then go to the family menu. You look and there will be a family with an arrow and you click on that.
Then you will be able to choose which family you will be able to move. If you just want to move a single Sim and not a family you go into game play mode and when the newspaper comes you click on the newspaper and the menu will pop up. Then you click find own place and then you can move that Sim. Actually, you can get another sims to ask you to move in. I'm not sure that its the same on the Ipod App but on the computer game you can.
Go to Edit Town and click on the family home. Click split up, and move on sim over to the blank side then they will go to the clipboard and you can move them to another home. You can move them to another town, but if you do all connections they had to where ever they lived before will be gone including relationships with friends and family, they will have no memories.

In Sims 3 how do you move you sims out their house? Where do your sims go when you move them out? To add a bit of variety, I roll a number between 1 — to determine if each Sim will be fat. If the number is under 25, the Sim is fat.
I then roll again to determine if the Sim wears glasses with the same odds. There are several planning stages for a custom neighborhood. If you build all your own lots, choose a build set and stick with it across all lots.
Some build sets I really like include:. Some lot creators that I can recommend include:. You can see the creation of my apartments for Knutley in this livestream. I built my own apartments for Knutley, but you can also download an apartment building and modify it to suit your needs. I built the lot once, then copied it four times — just recoloring and making minor adjustments each time. Later, I will add stand-alone homes to the neighborhood when my Sims are ready to get married and start families.
These are all unowned, public lots. I do allow my Sims to own businesses, but they must earn enough money to build or purchase it themselves.
I build my general store with the assumption that it will eventually go out of business when Sims start to open specialty stores for groceries, clothing, etc. But the starting generation needs somewhere to shop, so I create an all-purpose market for them. Sometimes I start playing before I finish building all the community lots.
In addition to Sim-owned businesses that actually sell goods, I also build more public community lots to the neighborhood as I play, including:. Once I have all my residential lots and at least some of my community lots finished, I move my Sims into their apartments. I use the halved apartment rent mod to reduce the amount of rent they have to pay because I think apartment rents can be ridiculous.
I move two males and two females into each apartment building. I move in 19 Sims, leaving the last Sim in the Sim Bin for now see introductions below.
Once each Sim moves in, I pause time and start the randomizations. I randomize the ages for each of my new adult Sims so they are not all the same age. I randomize the amount of money they start with, so some will start with more than others. For ages, I roll a number between 21 — 39 on random. I use a custom aging system in my game, so my Sims are adults for 42 days until age 60 when they become elders. I do this until I reach as close to their age as possible. You can also change ages in Sim PE.
I roll a number between 1, — 5, to determine starting money. I repeat this process for all 20 Sims before I play them at all. As I create my Sims and move them in, I keep track of their stats in a spreadsheet like this:.
When I move each Sim in, I take notice of the wants they roll initially. If they roll a want to get a job, I lock in that want. If they roll a power want such as to get married or have a baby, I lock it in. Sometimes Sims roll a want for more than one career.
If this happens, I look at their interests and personality to decide which one would suit them best. I will choose LTW and degree when I actually start playing rotations. After moving my Sims into their apartments, I place them all on an empty residential lot and allow them to mingle for a full day.
This allows them to start forming relationships and gives me an idea of which Sims are attracted to each other, etc. I let my Sims mingle with each other until around PM — just before they would age up at PM. At PM, I delete all the 19 summoned Sims via build mode with move objects on. They just return home and are not deleted from the game.
Next, I save the game, return to the neighborhood screen, and move the Sim out of the empty lot into the Sim Bin. I delete the empty lot, and move the 20th Sim into their apartment. I prefer to randomize gender preference at the introduction stage rather than when I move my Sims in. This is so I can have control over the number of gay Sims in my neighborhood.
Gay sims are pretty much stuck with the other gay Sim of their gender. But, more than that and it feels too unrealistic to me. After all the setup is done, I start playing my neighborhood rotationally using my gameplay rules. I start with the first Sim I created — playing her for a four day season — and then move on to the next. I play using a wants-based playstyle, meaning I let my Sims choose their own paths in life based on the wants they roll.
I love watching my Sims get married, have affairs, start families, move up in their careers, and just live their normal everyday lives. I will give my starting Sims a University degree if they roll a want for a job that I feel would require a degree and they are 22 years old or older to account for the four years spent at University.
I choose lifetime wants based on the job they roll a want for or their personality. Do you build your own custom college for your neighborhood or no? I did not. Awesome guide as always! I love seeing my Sims start crushing or fighting with each other. It sets up the stories for the whole neighborhood! I love creating my custom hoods an sims, I almost never play the premade hoods.
I am however having one problem that I hope you or someone else has run into and can help with. I have gone the clean template rout and followed your steps, it works great!
