To get an adult Sim to make a toast in Sims 4, gather your Sims, ensure they have drinks, form a group, and then select the "Make a Toast" interaction from the friendly menu with another Sim.
Making a toast in The Sims 4 is a charming way to celebrate events, acknowledge milestones, or simply add a touch of realism to your Sims' social interactions. It requires a few preparatory steps to ensure the option becomes available.
Steps to Initiate a Toast
Follow these structured steps to successfully have your adult Sim make a toast:
1. Gathering Your Sims and Setting the Scene
- Assemble your group: Bring together all the Sims you wish to involve in the toast. This interaction is most common during social gatherings, such as parties, weddings, or casual get-togethers at home or community lots.
- Provide beverages: Ensure that all participating Sims, especially the one initiating the toast and the one being toasted, are holding a drink. This can be any beverage, from juice to cocktails, served from a bar, fridge, or even a drink tray.
2. Forming a Group
- Create a group: To help keep your Sims together and ensure the interaction prompt appears correctly, form a group with the Sims you intend to involve. Click on your active Sim, then use
Shift + Click(on PC) orA/X(on console) on other Sims to add them to your group.
3. Positioning Sims for the Toast
- Ensure proximity: It's crucial that the Sim who will be making the toast and the Sim they intend to toast are standing directly next to each other. This close proximity is a key condition for the "Make a Toast" option to appear in the interaction menu.
4. Executing the Toast Interaction
Once the setup is complete, you can initiate the toast:
- Select the Toaster Sim: Click on the Sim you want to make the toast.
- Click on the Toastee Sim: Next, click on the Sim you want your active Sim to toast with.
- Navigate the Menu: A pie menu of interactions will appear.
- Select "More Choices..."
- Then, navigate to the "Friendly" category.
- Finally, choose the "Make a Toast" interaction.
What Happens Next?
Upon selecting "Make a Toast," your Sim will raise their drink, often accompanied by a unique animation. Other Sims nearby, especially those in the group, may also raise their drinks in response, creating a communal celebratory moment.
Tips for Successful Toasts
- Social Occasions: Toasts feel most natural and add a great touch during parties, dinner gatherings, or any celebration where Sims are gathered.
- Relationship Levels: While not strictly necessary, Sims with higher friendship levels might have more expressive or engaged reactions to a toast.
- Any Drink Will Do: Sims can use any beverage they are holding to make a toast, from water glasses to elaborate cocktails.
