Found in the woods with no name, no words and no idea how to be a person, your Sim has to learn everything from the ground up — how to speak, cook, work, and finally belong — and claw their way from the wild margins into the heart of society.

💡 Strategy tips
- Start with raw survival (foraging, fishing) before you can afford any "civilised" skill objects.
- Roleplay the social climb — early interactions go badly for a "feral" Sim, so build charisma the hard way.
- Treat each milestone (first friend, first job, first home) as a chapter in the Sim's re-entry to society.
