Game guide:Making a child or younger live alone

This tutorial is only relevant to The Sims 2 and The Sims 3.

The Sims 2

 * 1) Move your family to an apartment lot. Do not rent any of the apartments.
 * 2) Kill off all members of the family except the one Sim you want to live alone.
 * 3) You can now move the Sim to any other lot.

Method 1

 * 1) Hire a babysitter
 * 2) Kill off everyone else in the family
 * 3) The babysitter should stay no matter what

Method 2

 * 1) Play another household and make the parent of the desired household with the child the player wants to live alone.
 * 2) Make the parents join the household through the "testingcheatsenabled true" cheat.
 * 3) Now move onto the newly alone child.

Cautions

 * If a lone toddler has not been taught its toddler skills before they age up, a random trait will be selected when the toddler becomes a Child. This is due to the babysitter not being programmed to teach them. However, you can remove/change the random trait using the testingcheatsenabled true cheat, and shift+left-clicking the sim.


 * Once Edit Town has been selected, the lone Sim(s) will become unplayable.


 * If a Child throws a party with a toddler in the household the babysitter will leave. However, this can make the child totally alone.
