The Sims 4 is a great game, though it's a known struggle to get your sims up early, fulfill all their needs, and travel across town before it gets too late. If you want a good, structured routine for your sim in the morning, then follow these steps!

Method 1
Method 1 of 3:

Waking up in the morning.

  1. 1
    Once they wake up, lead them to the bathroom to brush their teeth. This action will make their emotions turn more confident, and it gives them minty breath! You can also choose for them to wash their hands as well. If you don't want your sims to be confident, you can skip this step.
  2. 2
    Make them freshen up. This will be easy since they're already in front of the mirror. This will make them feel more confident and flirty.If you don't want them to have these emotions, skip this step.

  3. 3
    Let your sim take a shower. There are quite a few different types of showers you can take, such as a thoughtful shower that will make your sim's emotion change to inspired. Make sure to choose what type of shower you want according to what the day planned ahead for your sim will be like.

Method 2
Method 2 of 3:

Eating breakfast

  1. 1
    Lead them to the kitchen and choose for them to brew some coffee or tea. Keep in mind that tea is more expensive then coffee. The coffee will make your sim energized, while the tea flavour that you choose will make your sim feel a particular emotion. You can drink your desired beverage with your breakfast. You will need a coffee or tea machine to make these beverages, and those machines are quite expensive.
  2. 2
    Choose to drink your tea/coffee before breakfast, during breakfast, or after breakfast. You may consider making them drink it while eating breakfast, as it allows them to multi-task and finish it quicker. Try choosing a healthy, quick breakfast option if your sim is going to school/work; if your sim is in no rush, then go ahead and make them cook a yummier, more expensive option.
  3. 3
    Consider making a group breakfast if it's needed. If your sim has any children, or even any family or friends that are awake and hungry, then make your sim cook a group-sized breakfast. This will allow everyone to eat together, and it's the quicker option. They can also even drink some of the tea/coffee left in the machine.
  4. 4
    Make sure to socialize with your family/friends at the table, or even while you are cooking breakfast. It's a great way to become closer to them and to make your sim happier, while still doing the task that needs to be done.

Method 3 of 3:

After Breakfast

  1. 1
    After breakfast, make sure that you or someone else cleans the dishes. Also remember to clean the mugs and any kitchen surfaces that need to be cleaned, such as the counter top or the stove.
  2. 2
    If your sim doesn't have any needs to be taken care of, then they get can change into everyday wear. You don't want them in their pajamas for too long! You can get them to try on outfits in the mirror as this raises their mood, or you can just select them to change into everyday wear by clicking on them. You can also get them to change their everyday wear by clicking on a dresser.
  3. 3
    Know that your sim's appearance will also change along with your outfit. If you are happy with the way they look then just leave it, but if you want them to change something then just click on a mirror and choose "change appearance".You can then change their makeup, hair, and clothing.
  4. 4
    Make some final touches. Make sure that your sim's needs are well looked after, make sure the house is clean, and make sure that your children are at school. After you're sure everything is fine, get your sim to leave the house and have some fun. All that matters is that your sim is in a good mood when they leave, especially if they are going to school/ work.

    I put my teen Sim to bed at 10 because she was on yellow energy, and she woke up at 4. How can I control this? I would like to get her up at 6 or earlier.

    The most effective way to control this is with mods. There is a mod that lets Sims sleep through the night, or you could use the UI cheats mod to cheat the Sim's needs down.

    You cannot change a specific baby's clothes. Babies are treated as objects. There are mods you can download which change the clothes of all the babies in the game.

Warnings

  • If your sim is cooking a meal on the stove, make sure you have a fire alarm in case it bursts into flame. It's bound to happen at least once in your game, especially if your sim hasn't done a lot of cooking.

  • This routine won't work for all sims (a child sim can't drink coffee or make their own breakfast) so change some of these steps to suit your sim!
