With the new Sims 4 Growing Together expansion, treehouses have finally been added to the game. If you're wondering how to create a treehouse in The Sims 4 Growing Together, what upgrades you can get for it, and how to decorate it, read here.
How to get a treehouse
There is only one type of treehouse in The Sims 4 Growing Together expansion, found within the build and buy mode catalog.
To find it, you can search for it in the search bar of the catalog under the name 'Timber! Treehouse Base'.
Once you have bought and placed the tree, it will first look like any other tree with a set of wooden planks resting on the trunk.
To make the treehouse, you must select it and choose the option to build it.
If you'd like to speed up the process, you can repeat this with all teens to elder sims in your household and get them to build it together as a family. Children can join too but will mostly supervise the action rather than help themselves.
Once built, you can click on the treehouse and set it as a kids-only or teens-only hangout, thus preventing other life stages from entering.
How to upgrade a treehouse
The treehouse has the following upgrades available:
- Bell – level 2 Handiness Skill is required to build this upgrade.
- Slide – the slide can be set as the main entry point of the treehouse which will create an animation of your sims climbing up the slide or sliding down it to enter/exit the treehouse. This upgrade can be acquired if your sim has level 2 Handiness Skill and 100 simoleons.
- Pole – Level 4 Handiness Skill and 100 simoleons are required for this upgrade. It too, can be used as the primary entrance or exit for the treehouse.
- Lights – this requires level 5 Handiness Skill.
You may also need upgrade parts to complete the upgrades. You can buy a range of upgrade parts from a PC or laptop by choosing the following options: click on the pc > order > Purchase Upgrade Parts > then select the parts you need from the ones available.
How to add treehouse decorations
To customize the treehouse, click on it and choose the option to 'Set Decorations...'. You can choose from the following designs:
- Fairy Tale Castle
- Island Castaway
- Pirate Hideout
- Space Explorer
- Undecorated
You can use cheats to place other objects on the treehouse, however, this will serve as decorative only, interactive objects will not work if cheated onto the treehouse.
The cheat to move objects freely is: bb.moveobjects
