When you click on an empty house a pop up will appear, in this post I am going to explain what each of these options means.
Add New Sim– Click to be taken to create a sim to add a new adult sim to the game, this option will be greyed out if you are at your sim limit for that level.
Relocate Existing Sim– Click to move a sim you already have in the town into a different house, you may want to use this option to separate a sim from a family or just move a sim from one house to another. It will cost you S5,000 and you can only do this while that sim isn’t busy otherwise they will be greyed out.
Relocate Household– Click to move a whole household from one house to another, this will cost you S8,000 and you can only do this while all sims from that household aren’t doing anything otherwise that family will be greyed out.
View House– Click on this to see the empty house, use this for decorating before moving a sim in.
Demolish House– Click this to delete the house and get the option to pick a new house to build on this lot, the price to build the next house will decrease as you have one less house in your town (TIP: make sure you sell all rooms before you demolish the house so you can store all the items in it first and earn money from deleting the rooms otherwise you won’t get any money) Click here to watch this video for more information on deleting houses
When a sim lives in a house the only thing you can do is view house, you need to move out the sim before any of these options will appear.
There are 4 lanes in the bowling alley so you can have 4 sims bowling at once, click on a bowling lane and select:
Let’s bowl!- 6 hours 30 minutes
After the time has passed come back and click the exclamation mark above your sims head to find one of the bowling collectibles. Every time your sims bowl their bowling hobby skill level up percentage will increase, once you reach 100% you will level up, there are 6 levels. You need to reach level 6 to be able to unlock all of the bowling collectibles, once unlocked you will be able to find them.
The table below shows the level up percentage:
This may change in future updates

133%
2-3

The next table shows you for each level what bowling collectibles you unlock (so you can then find those ones too) and also the level up reward that a second and future sims will receive when they level up in this hobby:

You can have a sim mix juice for 10 hours and teen, adult and senior sims can sit at the table and wait for drink order for 10 minutes, they will then take 8 minutes to drink it.
