You will also a small square box with your Sim’s faces in it. Clicking on one of these boxes will let you switch control between your Sims. When on a sim, you will see a small image of your Sim in the lower left-hand corner of your screen. Next to it will be your Sim’s mood. Above your Sim are thought bubbles. These bubbles will tell you what your Sim wants to accomplish. You can engage in activities with other Sims and objects to accomplish these wants for points, which you can spend on rewards. If you want to save these for later, hover your mouse over them and click the little pin. On the bottom right of your control panel you will see seven icons. You can click on each icon to pull up different information and statistics about your Sim. The icon to the left will have your Sim’s overall aspirations. Completing tasks will help you to achieve your Sim’s ultimate goals.

You will see several bubbles pop up. Clicking on these bubbles will give your Sim a task to complete.  Some bubbles lead to more options. You will have options to be friendly, mean, mischievous, and romantic. Different interactions with other Sims can affect your Sim’s emotions. Emotions in the Sims 4 include confident, bored, happy, energized, flirty, and many more. Emotions can influence the way that your Sim interacts with other Sims. You can also take action to increase or decrease a Sim’s emotion. For example, you can stab a voodoo doll which resembles another Sim to stop your Sim from being angry. Or, you can take a thoughtful shower to make your Sim inspired. Sims now can multi-task in The Sims 4. This allows Sims to have group conversations and also prevents the annoying situation of your Sim leaving a half-eaten meal on the floor to socialize with another Sim. The options menu on the cell phone, located next to your Sim’s small face icon, includes options for finding a job and traveling. Your Sim will need money, known as Simoleans, to purchase anything.  To get more money, you can get your Sim a job by calling job employers on your Sim's phone or by using your Sims' computer and searching for a job. Unless you get the “Get to Work” expansion, Jobs are unfortunately not playable. This means that you will fast forward time until the end of your shift unless you have more than one controllable Sim. Alternatively, you can make money through hobbies and skills, such as selling paintings or writing books. You can also zoom out on your map to travel to other locations and find more activities and Sims. Zoom out until you see the magnifying glass. Clicking it will let you travel to parks, bars, and the gym where you can meet new Sims.

Try misting your bird with a fine spray from a misting bottle to keep the bird cool. When it's time to sleep, simply throw a light towel or blanket over the cage. Make sure there is sufficient air ventilation - you don't want to suffocate your new bird! Make sure that the bird cannot get its nails caught in the fabric.  This is also helpful when it's noisy. The blanket will muffle most sounds, and will also keep cold drafts out. If your budgie is frightened by the dark, add a little night-light. Don't let your bird panic. It might fly around the cage and injure itself. Take the budgie to the veterinary surgeon at least once a year for a check-up. If your bird acts weirdly or if you spot anything unusual, go to the veterinary surgeon as quickly as you can.  Look out for abnormal breathing, discharge from the eyes or the beak, mucus on the feather, abnormal behavior and a loss of weight. If any of these symptoms occurs, call the veterinary surgeon immediately.
