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.
Mathematical Diagrams from +2 through to +3 (Masterpiece)
Reward Lamps: Into the Future and University +4
Telescope prints +2
Microscope Prints from +1 (The Drifter) through to +2 (Blemish Blossom)
Space prints +2
Saffron Incense +1 for duration (Spa Day)
Clay in the Grid and Geometric shapes +2
Emotion Paintings From Completing Painter Extraordinaire Aspiration
These are just some of the things that can make a Sim Focused, though there are surely more to be found in the game. Also read the main Emotions Guide to learn how Emotions work - Emotional Auras, what determines the main Emotion, and how to control your Sim's mood at all times.

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).
I am trying hard to get the kids to school focused. The leave but as soon as the disappear for school the moodlet changes! Its so frustrating! I don't know what to do.
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.
when i try to get my sim focused for his job he keeps going in the shower or getting one of those special moodlet coffees then he leaves for work it is so annoying!!!
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. All About Painting
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.

The Sims 4 Tiny Living Stuff releases January 21 for PC/Mac, and February 4 for Xbox and Playstation 4. This new pack centers around the idea of making small homes and receiving bonuses to bills, comfort, and strangely skill gains for living in a small house. I'll make a guide page by release day but for now you can watch my Livestream Summary below to get a good grasp on what's coming in this new Stuff Pack.
I now have a guide page to Tiny Living Stuff where you can learn about Murphy Beds, the new death, as well as the lot bonuses you'll receive if you manage to keep the size of your lot down with this new pack's Tiny Home Lot Type.
I've started a series, "Let's Play a Super Sim" in which I start at toddler and gradually take on the major bonuses. Here's a link to each part for people who are interested. You can also see the Let's Play as a Playlist on Youtube.
The Sims 4 Discover University has been announced for November 15 for PC/Mac and December 17 for Xbox and Playstation 4 consoles. Click to learn more about the pack, see my summary of the livestream or read our FAQs below.
