Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Create your family.

   Customize all their features, and dress them up.
   
   Then, head to the neighborhood.

   Step 2: Build or buy a cheap house.

   Ones that cost somewhere below 15,000 simoleons are better, because they leave you money to spare on furniture. ,,,,,, If that doesn't work and your Sim is still single, call the matchmaker.
   
   If you give them a lot of money, they will find the perfect Sim for your Sim. , (If it works out things happen) , (Only do this if you want a family; if not, the rest of this is useless to you but it's still great to learn, so read on.) , If they chose to adopt, you usually must wait if you want to style the adopted Sim's room based on gender or not, or take a wild guess.
   
   You can always change the style.
   
   Decide what age group you want to adopt from (Baby, Toddler, Child) and decorate the room from that too.
   
   Hint:
   If you get a baby or toddler, it doesn't matter on style. , The rest is up to you. ,
