Daily & Life Goals

Try to complete your goals whenever possible, they are simple to achieve and they will earn you a lot of EX, Simoleons, and random rewards.

Household

Remember that having high friendships makes completing goals a lot easier, especially if you do it with Sims in your house.

Save Your SimCash

Don't waste your SimCash on skipping time, it is more beneficial to save it for items later in the game such as beds that allow for near instant recovery and baths that instantly fill Hygiene.

Change Careers

Don't be afraid to switch careers if you fancy a change. Although the different careers work in a similar fashion and offer similar rewards you will find that the environment, exact actions and benefits will differ slightly. If you do decide to change career there will be no penalty and you will retain your level in that career and can switch back at any time.
