I have been trying to find out if you can load another zoi into a game . After creating a family and selected a house, and start playing, it seems you can not load another character into an existing game, or add another character (zoi) to the family in the same house? It seems that once you create a family of 2 people, you cant add another? As far as I can remember you could do that in Sims 4.

If you want to add a Sim, you need to create another household and then make a transfer between households.

Thanks for reply. How do you make a transfer? I have only been playing for a few days, so I am not totally familiar with all the features of the game, yet.

To add a new family go to the map view and select “All Families”:

Then select “Create New Family” and this will bring you to CAZ to create and save your new Zoi or Zois:

When you completed the creation of the new family you will find it under “All Families”. There is no picture unfortunately, so you have to go by the last name.

After this you can go 2 ways:

1. To add this family as a new family to a house in the city: click the house where you want to move them in and then click “Select Family”. This will bring you back to the “All Families” screen where you can select your newly created family and confirm to move them in.

1. To add the new Zoi / family to an existing one: go to the “All Families” screen. Select “Move Zois Between Families”.

This will bring up the 2 empty spots on the right side:

Now select the 2 Families you want to merge, this should then look like this:

Confirm and then move the intended Zoi in with the other Family using the arrows:
