Beginner's Guide: Adding A Sim

The ability to add a sim depends on the following:

1. Your town's sim count - You are only allowed a certain number of sims per level, so check your town's sim count if you haven't reached the maximum yet for your current level.  

2.  Available houses - If one of your sims get married or moves in with another sim, his or her house will become vacant.  A green house means it's vacant.  You can add a new sim to that vacant house or relocate another sim or an entire household to that house.

3. Available simoleons / LPs / SPs - If you plan to add a sim and have not yet exceeded your town's allowable sim count, you can add a sim by buying a house or a vacant lot.  Check how much simoleons / LPs / SPs you have as against the cost of the house you want to buy.  Once you have bought a new house, you will have the ability to add a new sim to your town.

With all the above conditions met, you can add a sim to your town in three ways:

1.  Buy a house - Just view your town and tap on any blue house icon and choose add a sim.  Follow the rest of the instructions.

2. Have a married sim couple have a baby - A married sim couple can have a baby, and therefore, a new sim is added to your town.  To add a baby, just go to the married sim couple's house, tap on the home store, tap on furniture and choose infant section.  Buy a crib and place it anywhere in the house where it will fit.

3.  Adopt a sim - You can add a new sim to town by adopting a toddler, pre-teen or teenager.  Just tap on any phone and purchase one from the online store. Note that you would need to complete the "A Quest for Toddlers", "Preparing for Pre-Teens", and "Coming of Age" quests to unlock each age group.
