The Sims Guide – Sims Life(5)

Remember, The Sims 3 is a completely open game, with no central goal or objective. You can play the game however you want, pursue whatever career you life, or try to hook up with whomever you desire. However, before we dive headfirst into everything your Sim can do, it’s best to cover a few of the basics, such as how to assign tasks.

Action Queue

There are countless options available to any of your Sim at all times. You can eat, sleep, mingle with others, visit the store, check out town hall, tackle a new career–the list is endless. Thankfully, every single one of these tasks is a mere mouse click away.

Now if you have more than one Sim living in your house, you’ll first have to select the Sim that you want to perform the task. Thankfully, each Sim in your control is listed along the left-side of the screen; simply click the picture of the one you wish to direct! With your Sim selected, simply click on whatever you want them to interact with.

A menu will then appear showing everything you Sim can do related to that person, object, or destination. After assigning a task, it will get added to the “Action Queue,” at the top of the screen.

This shows every task that you’ve assigned, and is displayed in the order in which they’ll perform them. You can assign up to nine tasks at a time (including the one they’re currently performing).

However, being as your Sim is a living virtual entity, they’ll often decided to perform tasks for themselves, such as eating, sleeping, etc, so don’t fret if you see them doing something you didn’t assign–they’re just trying to live their life, man! However, if you do wish to stop or remove a task, simply click on its icon in the Action Queue!

Note: If you’re not a fan of your Sim being a free-thinker, you can prevent them from taking tasks on themselves by disabling “freewill” in the options screen. Doing so will put you in complete control of their every task, so make sure to pay ultra close attention to their needs!
