The Sims 4 Skills

Skills List and Ideal Emotions Strategies

Snowy Escape Additions!

The Snowy Escape Expansion Pack adds three new skills, all related to Winter sports and mountains: Rock Climbing, Skiing, and Snowboarding. You can find more details about them on their respective pages and in the alphabetized list below!

What Are Skills?

Skills in The Sims 4 unlock the moment your Sim performs an interaction related to them. They reflect how good a Sim is at doing some activity. This will help you to utilize all skills that could be helpful to you. If your Sim talks to others a lot, Charisma will gradually develop. Tell a joke, and wham - you've got the Humor Skill at level 1. Each level your Sim gains in these Skills will improve their performance and unlock new abilities.

Skill Books
Skills may be learned from Skill Books, read at the Library or purchased from the computer for use at home. In The Sims 4, you can learn the first four levels of a Skill from the first volume, though you must reread the book to do so. You will not gain Skill level from Volume 2 or 3 until you've reached level 4. Volume 2 works up to level 7, at which point you can read Volume 3. The last volume will only take your Skill to level 9, requiring you to at last use the Skill for Mastery.

Moods and Skills
Most Skills have an ideal mood - something that will boost Skill gains further than just being happy, or otherwise increase the likelihood of a good outcome. I'll list the ideal moods with each Skill, while Guides for each Skill and others (like this one on Emotion) may teach you what can be done to get your own Sim in the best mood for the Skill. Some Skills, like Writing, Charisma, and Painting, can incorporate many moods into their abilities. Depressed Sims may make a masterpiece sad painting, or a flirty author might write a great Romance novel. You can learn the role of Emotions with Skills in this Guide to How Emotions Affect Skill Levels and Best Moods.

what about reaper skill?

I heard there is a reaping skill like the Grim Reaper has. What is the cheat code?

Huh Something I've noticed at least once in Sims 4 and once in Sims 2 is that sometimes a Sim can do something 'naturally,' such as one of my Sims 2 Sims was able to pick up the guitar and play it even though he had never played one before and a guy I was watching on Sims 4 had a Sim that was able to play the piano without any trouble and his skill was extremely high, even though, again, the Sim had barely been exposed to the piano. Are there such things as natural skills that some Sims just have?

This is more a matter of opinion, but I think there are some Sims that have natural given talents. Just like in real life. :)

There isn't anything official from EA, and won't know anything until they say so. Anything else is pure speculation. We here at Carl's guide don't want to speculate any of what content will be coming to the Sims 4 game.

Gutbukketsays...
Don't look for Sims 4 to get all of the cool stuff Sims 3 had. That's not the way the Sims games work. Many popular ideas from each sims game never get repeated in later versions of the game. Universities are one obvious one. Each game has a totally redesigned engine, and as a result everything has to be created anew. I suspect they simply lack the time to redo many old ideas when they are busy creating new ones for the new game. I think they want each Sims game to stand as a game in its own right, and not lean on the previous games too heavily.

Which isn't always a good thing. It's becoming quite obvious that the lack of in-depth game play in TS4 has turned off many long time fans. Sometimes change for changes sake isn't always prudent.

in the sims 4 basic game it shows 22 fish to collect... however there are spaces for two extra fish..... what are these suppose to be, anyone know? i have 20 of the 22 ... still trying to catch the anglerfish and the treefish in sylvan glades... was just curious about the two extra fish spaces on the collection guide in the game...
Gravatar
Admin
Playalotsays...
So in my game it shows '+3' because of the packs I have. So any new fish that were not part of the base game and so added by a pack will show as '+'. My extras are the fish that came with Spa Day and Outdoor Retreat which actually totals 8!
So my guess your two extra will be the Gummy Fish and the the Captain Fishbones Bonefish.

i dont have any expansion packs.... and i now have all 22 fish... but at the top it will not acknowledge as a complete set... still shows two blank fish.. and one appears to be bones.. do you have to have the expansion for this to be acknowledged

Admin
Playalotsays...
No the gummy fish and the bones fish were added in a patch so so they are 'base game'. Your collection will complete once you have caught them as well.

I cannot find a guide to writing skill books. My latest sim is able to write skill books, but is no longer in the writer career. She can still write skill books for skills that she has maxed out, but she does not get the option to write a Herbalism skill book. Is there any known problem with writing herbalism skill books? Are there any requirements other than just reaching skill level 10 in herbalism? (and having earned the Professorial trait, of course)
Gravatar
Admin
Playalotsays...
The guide to writing is under the skills tab>writing. Here (click) Any sim can write books the skill is not tied to the writing career as such. Possibly the reason your sim can not write a herbalism book is that it is not a base game skill. I haven't actually tried that myself but often dlc content is not linked 100% across the game.
