If you just received an invitation to get your affairs in order in The Sims 4, this means your Sim is nearing the end of life and has only got two days left before biting the dust.
But what exactly does getting the affairs in order mean? Do players need to do something special?
We’ll answer all of your questions in this quick guide.
What does it mean to get affairs in order in The Sims 4?
Getting your affairs in order in The Sims 4 means getting your Sim prepared to meet the Grim Reaper. You can help your Sim to say goodbye to friends and family, decide what would happen to their assets after their death, and get valuable items out of their inventory, or cash in all their points.
Or you simply let them spend their last two days doing their favorite activities.
Letting go of control and allowing your Sims to do what they want is a great gift you can offer them just before they leave the Sim world.
But they’ll probably just spend this time dancing around and standing in front of the fridge anyway.
Now it’s the right time to complete the current aspiration and help your Sim reach their life goals.
You can also move important things from your Sim’s inventory to the inventories of their kids if they’re still living in the same household.
Other players prefer to simply throw a party and gather all the friends and family of the soon-to-be-gone Sim in order to spend some time together while they still can.
If your Sim has the Party Animal trait, they’ll thank you for letting them attend one last party before they die.
Of course, if you want your Sim to die happy, you can get them to woohoo all day long in different locations. Be careful about engaging in such vigorous activities as elder Sims can die from too much woohooing.
You don’t necessarily have to witness your Sim getting older and approaching the end of their life. You can play with aging off. In this manner, your Sims will remain forever young.
Or you can do your best to extend your Sims’ life span and keep them in good shape until their last day by completing the Bodybuilder aspiration.
By the way, Sims that die unexpectedly won’t have the chance to get their affairs in order. Only Sims that die of old age get to enjoy this privilege.
