I love to take my writer/blogger sims out to restaurants to just order a coffee or tea and write. I find it can get boring just writing in my sims room or office all the time and it’s nice to change the scenery. I loved this video and playing the sims like this is very therapeutic

I just want to add, utilizing the yard sale table is awesome. My sim right now does mani pedis Monday through Thursday but because she likes baking, I have her doing bake sale fridays! I'm thinking in the future it might lead her to opening her own store :) she is definitely miss independent

[@xohope4]

[@NicJohn]

Brushing your sims' teeth actually has a good use. You already know that it gives them a confident moodlet wich itself can be useful for some social interactions, but did you know that it also gives you the option to check self out in the mirror? When you do this your sim will have an emotional reaction to their reflection. This can add to storytelling for more personality. They sometimes become self conscious. Though the moodlet isn't always the strongest depending on what other moodlets they have, how strong the other ones are and how long each one last. They can also become more confident.

[@NicJohn]

@painty good to know. Thanks.

[@macyfer]

Thank you for doing this video. As a therapist, I applaud you teaching people how self-care and mental health is important and must have a space in our daily life. Because if you play to take care of your sim, you remember to take care of yourself as well. This has much more deepper meaning than you think. Thank you 💚

[@Akenn]

I love this idea of "patiently playing." I have a laundry list of things i want to get my families to do, but this inspires me to just take my time with them all. Also, I (accidentally) cheated my sims lifespans to be 4x longer than the Long lifespan using MCCC, so since I've got a ton of extra time with them, I might as well use it! :)

[@mil8903]

I started playing like this and honestly it makes you like your sims even more :) I used to play on speed 2x all the time and I made it a challenge to not speed my game and it’s been so amazing

[@TheChanellebelle]

Oshin, your content is always pitch perfect, and comes right on time! This video reminded me not only to slow my play down in the Sims, but to also try to slow my life down, and enjoy the moment rather than speeding through my day and wondering why I’m overwhelmed and exhausted 😅 You and your peaceful vibe are an absolute gem!

[@alleighaanderson1659]

100% yes

[@AlyssumCandyYT]

I love this video and the tips! Sending my Sims for a jog (bike ride or dog walk) is a de-stresser for me as well. I like to zoom in on the Sims and take in the scenery (especially HOB and Tartosa). I feel like when I play my game zoomed out, there is a disconnect. Same with walls down. I also love extended family dinners and taking the nieces and nephews for icecream and stuff like that. Sims is my self-care 🥰

[@jannekeruyter4181]

I always love these gameplay tips. as a sims player who plays every day and has a embarrassing amount of hours in the game... it sometimes gets a bit had to think of new things to do. so these kind of inspiration tips are always welcome!

[@laurenr.9409]

Alsooo if you like to keep track of the sim’s timeline/milestones, you can take a picture of the sim doing something major like feeding their newborn baby for the first time, and then tap the little camera shutter on the bottom of the ui, and you can create a memory of that picture and from there you can make your sims reminisce about that time. It’s sooo useful for meaningful gameplay 🥹❤️

this made me crave some simple, cozy gameplay! great tips 🙏

[@joshow926]

Even though this was for Sims, it's a great reminder for me to make time to slow down and do things I enjoy in the morning (instead of just rushing around and feeling like I'm not accomplishing anything). I'd love to incorporate this into my Sims gameplay, too!

[@bloomellesims1952]

I love your gameplay style! You've really inspired me to slow down in my own gameplay:) I had a sim who was an actress, but she likes to practice writing in the hopes of one day being good enough to write a novel and be an author, so every day before she goes to work, I have her do her lil morning routine- brush teeth, get dressed for the day, make a coffee and drink it while she writes on her laptop! It's the little things like that, that make the gameplay feel so much more alive! I'd love to see more videos like this:)

[@suushiiq3015]

this is like such a tiny detail but i just love when u want to change your sims outfit, dont just click on it but go click on the a closet or dresser or whatever its called and select change outfit there. then sims will go to the closet which is so much more realistic!

[@shesthebethest]

This reminds that ever since I started a "slow wake up" routine I have felt so much better. Instead of rolling out of bed at 8:50 and turning on my work laptop, I wake up earlier to a nice music station, drink mint tea and eat while my coffee brews and then listen to asmr as I drink my coffee. Highly recommend if you WFH, don't have kids and usually wake up at 8:59 lol

[@izraelsamson1985]

This was so therapeutic and beautiful! I think the sims 4 community can get so full of hating on the game and comparing it to Sims 3 that it definitely negatively impacts the playing experience. We spend so much time building the perfect homes or fine tuning their appearance in CAS that we forget to just live and spend time with them too 🦋 Which is such a metaphor for real life as well! We can get so focused on 'leveling up' instead of just being in the moment. I found myself getting so attached to my sims and their personalities when I played slow and switched off auto-aging. I don't feel the need to have like 10 generations, download 5 houses off the gallery anymore or keep buying more packs because I actually feel invested in the world now

[@melodye14]

I love things like this, especially little things like brushing teeth that add to the realism.

[@thecurator2626]

This was such a calm and soothing video. I try to play slowly and be intentional with my Sims but sometimes I just rush through. I like your suggestions - especially with the tripod. I like to make memories in the game but owning all the packs I forget what features are available and useful. Thank you for covering some gameplay I didn’t know about.

[@freuleinandrea9833]

[@LeeLeeBSimming]

OSHIN!!!!!! I LOVED this so much! I created a machinima, cozy story vibe vid about Selfcare. I enjoyed seeing you switch her coffee up for tea, setting the relaxing vibes using candles and incense....getting out the house, ahhh this vid was filled with so much goodness. I really enjoyed it. I also have been trying to get my Sims to become health nuts. It's good to know that it takes a sim week of eating healthy foods or using that cheat. Thank you for sharing! 🤗

[@SimZimma1]

I loved this! You're right, it's the simple tedious every day or weekly things that make that connection to your Sim strong. I'm definitely gonna add Self Care Sunday to their calendar 🥰

Oshin xoxox honestly yes, the brushing teeth thing is underrated! I make sure my sims' pearlies are brushed to send them off to school or work confident. Makes for realistic gameplay plus I imagine their day goes better having that positive moodlet. And if I play with kids I make sure to send a lunchbag if they're running a bit late for that extra positive moodlet/vibe.

In which save file do you play? It looks so amazing! My in real life self care tip is changing your bed sheets, take a hot shower and then watch a movie in bed. :) Something I sometimes do in my gameplay is that I make a little yard sale with my Sim kids. We bake together different goods and then sell it in front of our house. I sometimes donate the money or buy something for my child.

[@NicJohn]

I play real slow ever sins sims 3. I need to play with aging off because sims age too fast for me. That is why I am so thankful for the calendar so I know know how long a year is, (I play with 4 week months), and my sims age one year at a time not one life stage at a time. Also I adjust my sims appearance to reflect the age I see them as. Example pre teens are still children until they hit puberty and when they are teens in game but say 11 or 12 I give them a younger appearance. If they are 12 but late puberty still kids but look and act like preteens. Adults are 45-65/75 in my game because people irl age differently. I know I went off topic here, lol. But this video made me feel the need to share that. 🙂

[@Roxie1255]

I’m currently getting ready to set up a sim who is a ESL teacher in MT. Komo. I feel like that world is very slow paced and calm. I’m going to try to take my time and play mindfully. Self Care Tips I try to follow. I’m a homemaker and sometimes I can get caught up in the hustle and bustle of day to day life or fall into the traps of social media. 1. Log off Social Media or remove them from your Home Screen. 2. Read or Listen to an audiobook. Bonus points for doing it while outside if the weather is nice. 3. Call, text or meet up with a friend for a lunch date or better yet take yourself out on a date or dine at home. 4. Be mindful of the words you speak. I am a firm believer in Life and Death is in the power of the tongue. It’s one thing to think something it’s another to speak it into existence. So speak positive about yourself. 5. It’s okay to take a break. It’s okay not to be okay. We all need to take time to recharge. If that means not getting everything done because you decided to take a mental health day. That’s fine.

I know this video came out almost a month ago but I recently discovered something that will fit perfectly with the topic and I want to share it. If you can use mods, MC command center has a setting that allows you to slow down the simulation speed, making time pass slower and interactions more realistic. I had my sim wake up, go for a jog, have breakfast, take a shower, use the toilet and brush her teeth with time to share before going to work. I feel like it really enhances gameplay and it's worth trying! Hope at least one person sees this comment 🤞🏻

Most of your tips for gameplay apply to my real life lol I'm a Sim. For real though, life can get so hectic and we don't really enjoy life. And we always complain that sims' autonomy is kind of boring cus they immediately go on the phone whenever they're doing nothing... and I mean, I'm watching your video while procastinating on my homework, while multitasking on my phone checking social media. So yeah, I think we should all try to apply some self care both as gameplay and in real life...

I wish there was more goals like go out more, make more healthy meals, sleep longer, do yoga and meditate, start a new hobby, try something new etc. I wonder if there is a mod for that. I know you could make your own goals but at least for me, if it is not in the game, I don't do it.
