Switching between households in The Sims 4 lets you play multiple families without moving them together. This is perfect for managing dating Sims who live in different worlds, or when you want to experience different storylines across your game.
When you switch households, there are a few things to keep in mind. If auto-aging is enabled, your Sims will continue to age even when you're not actively playing them. However, inactive households won't make major life decisions on their own - they won't quit jobs, break up, or get married without your input. The family you leave behind stays exactly as you left them until you return.
Step-by-Step Guide to Switching Households
Here's how to change your active household:
- 1.Click the three dots in the top-right corner of your screen to open the menu
- 2.Select "Manage Worlds" from the options
- 3.Choose the world where your desired household lives
- 4.Find the household you want to play and click on their house
- 5.Click the "Play" button in the bottom-right corner
That's all it takes to switch households. You can repeat these steps anytime you want to play a different family. The game automatically saves your progress when you switch, so you don't need to worry about losing your current household's progress.
Managing Multiple Households
You can have many households and Sims in your game simultaneously. If you want to move Sims between households or split families, you can use the Manage Households feature accessible from the same menu. This gives you full control over how your Sims' relationships and living situations evolve across your game world.
Remember that each household maintains its own story and progress, making it easy to build complex interconnected narratives between different families in your Sims 4 universe.
