2020s – The Pandemic

All rules from 2010s still stand with the following changes:

• During this generation – The Global Pandemic: 
  • The global pandemic must last for at least two full years in your Sims game (you decide if it should be longer).
    • Face coverings are required anytime you leave the house (including exercising). You can use a CC facemask or something in-game (a helmet, for example).
    • During lockdown, you cannot go on vacations, dates, or any rabbit hole events! For the most part, Sims are not allowed to leave their lot. Exceptions:
      • If you are in the medical career, you must go to work with your Sim.
      • Once a day you are allowed to go jogging in the neighborhood or you can walk your dog – you must cover your face.
    • All Sims who have a job are required to work from home. If your job does not allow you to work from home, you must quit your job (you can get a new one that allows you to work from home).
    • Absolutely no in-person interaction with Sims outside of your household (unless you are in the medical career – you can interact at work only, but social distance as much as possible). However, chatting online and on the phone are highly encouraged.
    • If your Sim gets sick, you are not allowed to get them medicine. If they live with other people, you must lock them in their room until they are no longer sick (you can give them food by transferring it between inventories). If you do not have an en suite bathroom for them to use, you must designate one bathroom for the sick person and no one else can use that bathroom.
    • Encouraged lockdown activities include baking, reading, and starting new hobbies. You should select one skill to max out during lockdown.
    • You must own a computer, laptop, or tablet for each member of your household. That way everyone can work or do school at the same time.
  • School
    • If you are in University, you may keep up with all of your courses, but you are not allowed to go to class/lectures. This means you will need to work EXTRA hard to keep your grades up.
    • If you are in grade school or high school, you must attend school online (this does require a mod).
    • If there are children in the household (toddlers, grade school, or high school), then an adult must tutor each child.
      • Toddlers: Each day you must read them a story, and you must actively work on a skill (saying sorry, please and thank you, potty training) every day.
      • Grade School & High School: Each day you must help them with homework.
  • Career:
    • All careers allowed – including the Military (Covert Operator) for Females.
  • Miscellaneous:
    • Galaxy’s Edge opens at Disney amusement parks – you can now Journey to Batuu!
