How to Snoop for Secrets in The Sims 4

To discover secrets about sims you have a few options from eavesdropping to snooping but I think snooping is more fun. There are a few places you can snoop starting outside the sim’s home with the mailbox.

This is the trickier one because other sims might see you and cause your sims to get caught and get an embarrassed moodlet.

The more fun options for snooping are inside other sim’s homes, but how do you get inside? Well you can start by going to sim’s home while they’re home and knocking on the door.

However, knocking is legal and boring. Let’s break in! If you want to snoop without anyone around, you can break into a sim’s home by clicking on their front door when they aren’t home.

When you do this your sim will have a wrench and start working toward opening that door. It has a chance of failing and you can just do it again until the door opens. Once successful your sim will have free reign over the entire home.

When you do these interactions you’ll get a notification either letting you know that you learned a secret or letting you know that no secrets were found.
