How to Switch Between Households in The Sims 4

In The Sims 4, relationships and careers play a crucial role in shaping the lives of the Sims. This life simulator offers players complete freedom to customize their appearance and live out their true selves. Furthermore, players can choose to either expand or sustain their families as they wish, giving them the freedom to pursue their dreams and aspirations within the game.

In addition, players have the option to change their household at any point during the game. However, for some, specifically beginners, this process can seem a bit daunting and overwhelming. This article will guide players in seamlessly switching households within The Sims 4 by outlining the necessary steps.

Rotational Play in The Sims 4

Players who are not a huge fan of the AI/procedural gameplay of The Sims 4 can take advantage of the rotational play feature. This feature enables players to shift between households in any world and control their lives. Moreover, players retain the flexibility to return to their original Sim whenever they want to.

One important thing to keep in mind is that there’s no requirement to spend a particular duration playing each household in The Sims 4. Players have complete control and can shape their lives however they wish at any given moment. Switching between households is a simple procedure that involves following these steps.

Players should avoid rotational play during their Sim’s active working hours, as it might impact their job performance.

Go to the options by clicking (...) On the top right of the screen.
Save the game progress and head to Manage Worlds.
Choose "World" from the available options.
Now, players can choose the Sim’s household which they intend to play for.

If players wish to start playing within the previous household, they can follow a similar procedure. However, it is important to note that Sims won’t stop aging even if they switch between them. To stop aging, players can take advantage of the CAS cheat or by accessing the game menu.

How to Use the CAS Cheat to Age Down

While holding the shift key, left-click on the Sim and select "Modify in CAS" from the menu.
From the available options on the top left of the screen, choose the desired age.
