  • Your avatar must wear masks whenever they go outside, even when exercising. Players can opt for a CC mask or the ones available in the game, such as helmets.
  • Vacations, dates, or rabbit hole events aren’t allowed during the lockdown. The only time that your character can step outside is if they are in a medical career, or you can go jogging or walk their dog. However, their faces must remain covered.
  • Most of the jobs would switch to work from home; however, if your job doesn’t allow this, then you must quit and look for another job that does offer work from home.
  • There should be no in-person interaction between the sims outside the home, but if your avatar’s in a medical career, they can interact while following social distancing norms. Characters have the option of texting or talking on the phone, though.
  • Sims attending university can continue their education, but they can’t go to classes or lectures. So they’d have to study harder for better grades.

  • Adults must also help grade school and high school students with homework.
  • Characters can get no medicines if they get sick, and if they live with other people, then they must be isolated in a room until they get better. To offer food to them, you can transfer it between inventories. If there’s no room to keep the sick character, then you must designate a bathroom for them, and only they can use it.
  • During the lockdown, avatars can bake, read, or start any new hobbies. So it’s up to your avatar now to max out any one skill during the lockdown.
