Learn how The Sims Upkeep stat works, what lowers it, and how to raise it by fixing broken objects and dirty toilets.
The Upkeep stat in The Sims is dynamic and changes frequently. When objects in your home are broken, toilets are dirty, or light bulbs are burned out, your Upkeep stat will decrease. Conversely, when you repair all broken items and clean up messes, the Upkeep stat will increase. When you first start a new game in The Sims, this stat begins at its maximum because there are no objects yet to require maintenance.
Tips
- Regularly check for and repair broken objects to maintain a high Upkeep stat.
- Clean dirty toilets promptly to prevent the Upkeep stat from dropping.
- Replace burned-out light bulbs to keep your Upkeep stat at its peak.
