๐ก Strategy tips
- Multi-function and space-saving objects (Murphy beds, compact appliances) are the whole game here โ pack cleverly.
- Stagger sleep and activity schedules so four Sims aren't all demanding the same object at once.
- Watch the cramped/uncomfortable moodlets; a little dรฉcor and personal space goes a long way.
