Changing Households



Okay, so you’ve been playing a family in Riverview, let’s say the Lawsons. But you want to switch and play Don for a while, maybe in the same neighborhood? But you don’t know how! So let me walk you through the steps with pictures, of changing family. So first off, you want to go back to the neighborhood, to the same family, so press play.

Alright! We are back in Riverview. But, wrong family, right? Well, we’ll fix that So, first you want to select the “…” button, called options.




The menu pops up and you want to pick “Edit Town”




It comes up with a window asking if you’d like to save. Pick whatever option you need to. I selected “Just Continue” since I just got into the family. But if you’ve been playing your family for a while and then decided to switch, saving might be a good idea.




So then you come to this screen (I cut some of it out of the picture, don’t want the picture too big). This is where you can move things around town to suit your needs better. But right now, all we want to do is get to Don!




So, you see that little button on the side, saying “Change Active Household”? That’s what you want to pick.




Then you get a confirmation window.




But be careful, you WILL lose your wishes and things, so be sure you’ve done all you REALLY wanted to do in your current family before switching over.

However, there is a mod at MATY that will allow you to keep the wishes and opportunities if you so desire. There's also a lot of other stuff thrown in the mix also




And now you are back to your original screen where you can “Create Sims”, “Choose Household”, or “Move in Household”. If I really did want to play Don, I would have chosen the “Choose Household” and then found Don’s, but instead, I changed my mind. But for now, that is how you change households!
