Adults, as you’d expect, have many responsibilities on their plate, and it is no different in The Sims 4. You will enjoy seeing your Sim earn a degree, start a family, andsometimes cause mayhemin their neighborhood. This list will help you navigate your Sim through their adult life, while reaching those important milestones.
7Earned A Degree
Once your Sim graduatesfrom High School, it’s time to enroll them for a degree. For this, you’ll need the Discovery University expansion pack. Your Sim can enroll in either of the two universities: Foxbury University or Britechester University. They can then choose one of the available 13 degrees, including history and fine arts.
For each degree, they can take a regular or honors course, depending on their high school grades. Your Sim must meet specific requirements to enroll for either. Once you apply, both universities will send you a list of degrees your Sim qualifies for.
6Ended Romantic Relationship
As in the real world, your Sim can end a relationship, and there are many ways to go about it. For one, your Sim can ask for a breakup. Alternatively, they can take the rude approach of using mean interactions.
To be mean, just click on the other Sim, choose “other options” then select “rival.” Once the relationship turns to soar, you may wait for “divorce” if the Sims are married. Other ways to end a relationship include not talking to the other Sim or ignoring them altogether. This can allow your Sim to form a deeper romantic relationship with another Sim, causing the initial relationship to end gradually.
5Caught Sim Cheating
Your Sim or their lover may not always remain faithful. And there are several ways your Sim can cheat on your partner. To get this milestone, the partner needs to catch you cheating. If so, the other Sim might react with jealousy or sadness, while your Sim might end the relationship.

If you want your Sim to cheat, just approach another Sim romantically. This can be through kissing, flirting, or WooHoo. To make it more painful, you can conceive a baby with another Sim using the Try for Baby interaction. While the most obvious step for a Sim is to end the relationship, others may forgive. However, the relationship will take a dip, causing you to work on it.
4Engagement Rejected
When your Sim has had a romantic relationship with another Sim, they can ask for marriage. As you’d expect, your Sim must have their engagement request rejected to achieve this milestone. This can hurt your Sim’s mood and the relationship they are in. As such, you’ll have to rekindle the bond or move on with another Sim.
There are several reasons a Sim can reject another Sim’s proposal. For one, a Sim might not be ready for a relationship. Second, your Sim might have low relationship levels, causing them to be rejected. Another reason can be incompatible traits. While the proposing Sim might feel embarrassed or sad, the other might feel relieved.
3Eaten By Cowplant
If there’s one fascinating milestone in Growing Together, it has to be this one. Ideally, to achieve it, you’ll need a cowplant on your lot. you’re able to either use cheats or gardening, which requires hard work. You can get the cowplant berry through fishing, exploring space, or digging for treasure.

Once you get hold of it, find a place to plant on your lot. Ensure you feed it every 12 hours or so until it is fully grown. To achieve this milestone, starve the fully-grown cowplant until it produces a cake from its mouth. Next, lure another Sim to eat the cake. It will swallow them but later spit them out with a moodlet. If the Sim gets eaten again before the moddlet expires, they will be swallowed and won’t return.
2First Fight
Besides building relationships and earning degrees, your Sim can also engage in fights. For this, you’ll need to find a way to initiate a fight with another Sim. Just choose two Sims to fight each other. Click on your Sim and select Mean interaction. Select Insult interaction, which will cause your Sim to insult the other Sim.
Repeat the interaction until the other Sim’s mood decreases significantly. They will become angry and eventually engage in a fight. If your Sim wins the fight, their confidence will increase and vice versa. However, a fight can cause your Sim to be enemies with other Sims. Worst still, it can lead to death.
1Self-Discovery
Another milestone you can achieve in Growing Together is self-discovery. It allows your Sim to discover other traits as they interact with other Sims. What’s more, you can cause your Sim to gain new traits byengaging in specific activities. Otherwise, self-discovery happened randomly. You can always turn off this milestone during gameplay.
For example, you can earn the jealous trait if your Sim’s better half starts talking to another Sim of the opposite sex. Interestingly, you can earn the perfectionist trait by cooking an excellent meal. And by taking several family photos, you can unlock the family-oriented trait.
