In the world of Sims 4, moving in together is more than just a gameplay mechanic. It’s a way to deepen relationships, share experiences, and create a more dynamic household. Whether you’re looking to build a romantic bond, a strong friendship, or simply enjoy the benefits of shared living, moving in together offers a unique experience. Here’s how you can ask a Sim to start living together or become a part of your household.
How to Ask a Sim to Move in with You
To ask someone to move in in Sims 4, you can follow these steps:
- Develop a strong relationship: Ensure you have a high friendship or romantic relationship with the Sim you want to invite. This will increase their chances of accepting your offer. For starters, they have to be good friends and you can level up your friendship by performing friendly interactions.
- Start a conversation: Click on the Sim and select “Chat.”
- Choose the right option: Look for options like Ask to Move In. You might also see an option to Ask to Join Household under the Friendly interaction menu.
- Wait for the response: The Sim will respond to your request. If they agree, they will move in with your Sim. If they decline, you can try again later or explore other options.
If marriage is on the cards for the two of you, then it’s possible to move in together by marrying that Sim. Start with friendship, grow closer, and fall in love, after which you will see an option to Propose. The outcome isn’t guaranteed to be positive each time (just like in real life), but if they do accept, you are one step closer to moving in together after eloping or the wedding ceremony.
Lastly, if you are already using the MCCC mod, you can add a Sim to a household by typing sim_move and then typing the Sim’s first and last name. Then, follow the prompts and you should be able to make it happen easily. But if you’re not well-versed with mods, it’s best to level up the friendship or love naturally.
Things to keep in mind:
- Before asking someone to move in, make sure your home has enough space and amenities to accommodate them.
- Think about whether the Sim’s personality and lifestyle will be compatible with yours.
- If a Sim declines your request, don’t give up. Keep building your relationship and try again later. You can offer gifts, sincere compliments, and use Sims with traits like “Friendly,” “Charismatic,” or “Outgoing” to naturally build friendships.
- Pair Sims with compatible traits for a smoother friendship development.
With these steps, the chances of successfully asking someone to move in with you in Sims 4 will increase.
