The Sims 4 has expanded its options for how Sims can earn money beyond the standard career path. Through updates and DLC, the game now offers various work-from-home opportunities such as freelancing, selling books, providing spa services, and more. One notable addition is the Trendi app, which was introduced in The Sims 4: High School Years along with a new part-time career and a feature for selling second-hand clothes. To effectively earn Simoleons using the Trendi app, Sims must stay updated on clothing trends. This guide provides players with all the information they need to know about using Trendi in The Sims 4: High School Years.
What is Trendi in The Sims 4
Trendi, an app that automatically downloads onto the phones of teenage and older Sims, offers a convenient platform for selling clothes and outfits from the popular ThrifTea store. Located in Copperdale, the world of The Sims 4: High School Years, ThrifTea serves as both a tea shop and thrift store, offering exclusive clothing items that are updated on a daily basis.
When Sims make purchases from ThrifTea, the items are instantly added to their inventory and can be worn or sold directly through the Trendi app. The app not only allows Sims to explore the latest fashion trends and discover new looks, but also provides the opportunity to learn more about Trendi, connect with followers, and promote their own personal style. However, it is important for Sims to style their clothes before uploading them to Trendi.
In order to create a fashionable look in the game, Sims have two options. They can either click on a Clothing Rack located within ThrifTea or purchase one from Build/Buy mode. Once they have access to the Clothing Rack, they need to select "Create a fashion look." This action will lead them to a menu called Create-A-Sim, which exclusively displays the available clothing options in ThrifTea. Within this menu, players are able to customize the mannequin's body type, view the style classification, and give a name to their created look. Once the outfit is finalized, Sims will discover it within their inventory at a ThrifTea store.
To increase the chances of selling a listing on Trendi, sellers have the freedom to set the selling price. They can either match the recommended market price, go higher, or go lower. However, it's important to note that if the price is set too high, it's unlikely that Sims will make a purchase. To ensure success, sellers should keep an eye on style trends, maintain a substantial follower count, and price their listings reasonably. Additionally, Sims can promote their fashionable looks through the Trendi app by actually wearing them. However, it should be noted that this promotional strategy can have both positive and negative effects on their selling performance.
Interested Sims will make an offer that players can accept or deny. After accepting the offer, they must go to their mailbox and ship it to the buyer.
The Sims 4 is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
