The Sims 4 Focused Emotion

How to Make Your Sims Very Focused

Very Focused

Focused Mood
Sims with the Genius Trait get a Focused Moodlet at random. It is fairly common to get Very Focused while at home because of the easy aura options, but a little harder on the go. Expansions and Game Packs add some extra options that do simplify the process. Here is an exhaustive list of ways that you can get your Sims focused through actions and auras. Longer moodlets are listed toward the bottom of each section. Find things your Sim can do, based on EPs you own and you can stack them until you achieve the mood you desire.

Focused for Skill/Career Ideal Moods
Focused is an Emotion useful in a number of things, namely Handiness, Fishing, Logic, Gardening, Programming, early levels of Astronaut, the Tech Guru Career (both Branches), Criminal Career (Oracle Branch), and Secret Agents (Villain Branch).

If you collect a sample from the trash plant and make a print of the slide using the microscope, the resulting print has a focus décor of 9, which is the highest I have seen so far. I made a bunch and put them all over the hospital (and my house) and it really helps with the doctor career (and anything else that needs focus).

Maybe what you can do is get them focused like an hour or 30 minutes before school. That way they might stay focused!!!

Admin: Easiest way is ponder moves on a chess board. If you have Spa Day take a Bath With Soaks (Citrus) and light incense (Saffron) in the bathroom at the same time.

You could try unchecking the autonomy. That way your sim will only do what you direct him too.

My sim is creative and everytime she gets inspired by art she gains a focused moodlet as well. This oy happens to my one sim. But i like it when she is focused because then she paints better quality paintings

Are you getting your sim to view a focused painting? Very Inspired is the best emotion for a painter to be in. Here's a link to some more information for you.

Hi, I noticed that on the right side, in the “Support Us” section, via was spelled vis. Just thought I’d point that out.

Sounds like a bug. There are a few things you can try to see if you can fix it. 1. Save your game, quit out of it and then delete the localthumbcache.package file from your The Sims 4 folder. 2. Repair your game: Open up Origin, Click on the Game Library tab then Right-click Sims 4 > Repair Game.
On starting up your game again attempt to write a book, if the sim is still doing nothing cancel the action and then sell the pc and buy another.
