If you hang these paintings on the wall and click on them the Sims closest to it will suddenly feel that mood. Having Sims paint will not only allow them to express themselves but also enable them to earn Creativity points.
Bathroom Emotions
You can address a variety of different moods for your Sims in the bathroom using the toilet, shower, sink, or vanity mirror. What you may not know is that the mood of your Sim can change depending on the temperature of the shower, these moods include playful, flirty, happy, and energised. Using the bathroom mirror to brush their teeth or practice speaking will boost their confidence.
Don't Waste Good Moods
Always pay attention to your Sims moods and never let a good one go to waste. If you suddenly find your Sim in an outstanding mood you need to make sure you take advantage of it to gain extra Skill points or raise Confidence levels. This is important because not only will this continuously boost their mood but also make it easier when leveling up in other game areas.
Earn Satisfaction Points
Make sure when you select your Aspiration you choose one that will suit your Sim and career and complete side quests related to it. Fulfilling your Aspiration will not only provide Satisfaction Points which you can redeem in the Reward Store but also give your Sim even more Happiness.
Build Mode
Make sure when you are planning your house you especially focus on their functionality instead of their visual design. If you are building a big house you should plan it so your kitchen, bathroom and bedroom are close together so you don't waste a lot of time walking between these main rooms. Design rooms for functionality first, aesthetics later.
Don't Use Auto-Placement
Avoid using the auto-placement feature which allows the artificial intelligence of the software to place things for you such as windows. This is because a well-placed window can drastically improve a room's light which can substantially add to the overall mood of your Sims.

| How to get twins |
You could do your sims whims, save up points and buy the fertility reward. It cost 3000 points but it allows you to have a higher chance of becoming fertile and having twins or triplets. Quicker fixes would be to download the MCC command center mod and control how many babies your sim has, this is a cheat way though. |
