Starting as an adult can suck right? Well with this guide you'll be able to live as a teenager in your own house in the sims 3. It's really simple.
Steps
-
1Create 2 Sims in Create-a-Sim. One MUST be an adult or young adult, the other obviously will be the teenager (note that this doesn't work with Sim children as they cannot cook or work) you'll be playing with so make him/her good.
-
2Move them into a normal house. It doesn't need to be magnificent. You can use the cheat "freerealestate" to get a free house.Advertisement
-
3Once that's done, send the teenager off into town and get the adult to cook. Make him/her stop when they've put it in the oven.
-
4A fire should start, your Sim hop about screaming about it and then (hopefully so it works)the adult will die. Grim reaper comes, etc.
-
5And you're done, just move the grave somewhere and you'll be able to live as a teenager on your own.

QuestionWill child protective services come to take the teen Sims away once I get rid of the adults? Or does the game think there is still an adult there?
That Emo KidCommunity AnswerNeither. The teen is able to live on their own without the social worker taking them or needing an adult. They are able to care for themselves. -
