The cloning machine was first introduced in The Sims 4: Get to Work.
It gives your Sims the ability to make copies of a variety of objects and, in the long run, even other Sims.
In this post, we will discuss how to get a cloning machine as well as how to put it to use once you have had one.
How to Acquire a Cloning Machine?
In The Sims 4, you will need to have your sim pursue a job as an active scientist in order to be able to buy a cloning machine.
This is a precondition for purchasing the item.
You will be able to construct the machine if you have reached the fifth level of your career and achieved the ninth breakthrough in your progression.
In order to use the innovation constructor to develop a cloning machine, you will need to have two common crystals in addition to two common metals at your disposal.
A Step-by-Step Guide to Acquiring a Cloning Machine Using Cheats
If you don’t want to become a scientist but you still want a cloning machine, you can use the “buy debug” cheat to acquire one.
This is an alternative to entering a scientific career.
Using this cheat will allow you to acquire a number of products that are ordinarily unavailable to you in the game but may now be obtained by you.
To ensure that cheats are activated in your game, you will first need to press Ctrl + Shift + C on your keyboard, and then you will need to enter in testingcheats true.
Then, to use this particular trick, press enter after typing in the command bb.showhiddenobjects.
You may locate the cloning machine by going into build mode and using the search bar in the bottom left corner of the screen.
Type “cloning machine” into the search bar, and the cloning machine should appear.
Making use of the Cloning Machine on various objects
On the cloning machine, you won’t be able to clone just anything; rather, you’ll only be able to do so with a select few things, including the following:
- Crystals
- Serums
- Metals
- Fruits
- Flowers
- Dishes Filled with Food
The best one is that you can clone food, which suggests that if you use it right, there is a good chance that you will never have to cook again!
To clone an item, you must first drag the item in question to the cloning machine, then right-click on the machine and select the option to clone an object from the drop-down menu that appears.
In the event that the cloning was successful, the cloning machine will display two identical items on opposite sides of the device.
Be on the lookout, there is a possibility that the thing won’t work!
If the cloning process is unsuccessful, a rudimentary matter cube could show up where the cloned item should be.
These cubes have a value of only -1 and can be quite frustrating if you were hoping to clone something specific.
Using The Cloning Machine on a Sim
You will eventually be able to start cloning sims if you have your cloning machine improved to its full potential.
The Sim will become a member of your family and will look exactly the same as the original Sim did when they did so.
Your Sim will end up with the same characteristics as the original Sim most of the time; however, there is always a risk that they will become an evil clone and acquire the feature of being mean or evil instead of one of the cloned Sims.
These new sims will not have any of the original sim’s capabilities, relationships, or occupations when they are created.
They are essentially a fresh new sim, but they have a stunning appearance that was created by someone else.
Final Thoughts
If you want to produce an army of your sim or just a ton of the same object, using the cloning machine in The Sims 4 may be a lot of fun.
Alternatively, you can just create a lot of the same thing.
Making a complete neighborhood consisting of only my own Sims and making it as chaotic as possible is one of my favorite things to do with the Sims.
Do you have any experience with cloning machines?
Happy Simming!!
