I remember that when I had started playing the Sims 4 game, I was overwhelmed by all the options. Most of them were new to me, but I got the hang of it eventually.

But even so, there were a few things that were new for me, so I thought that perhaps you might like a short guide as well? Here are some tips and tricks on how you can edit your Sims easily in The Sims 4!
