Diamond Member Pelican Press 0 Posted May 28, 2025 Diamond Member Share Posted May 28, 2025 This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up All Skills In The Sims 4 And How To Improve Them One of the core pieces of gameplay in The Sims 4 is skills–you know, the stuff that your sims are good at. As it is in our world, there are tons of skills that every sim can hypothetically learn over the course of their lives, and every new expansion adds a small pile of new ones. It can be a lot to keep track of; even folks who’ve been playing The Sims 4 since launch have probably forgotten about some of these. There are more than four dozen skills that adult sims are able to learn at this point, and that’s not even counting the many Sims 4 mods that add more. Every skill in The Sims 4 has related activities that you can do to learn them, but there are also universal methods. There are several aspiration rewards you can take that will make your sim gain skills faster–Night Owl and Morning Sim will increase your skill gains at night and in the morning, respectively, and Savant will give you a 25% boost to all skill gains permanently. Every skill also has corresponding skill books you can read to jumpstart your skill gains, though you won’t be able to max out any skill just by reading about it–learning theory will only take you so far. Likewise, you can learn skills by taking college classes, or by using a research terminal at a library. But eventually you’ll have to practice for real. This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up 4. And that’s why we’re making this list. Below you’ll find every single skill in The Sims 4, from vanilla through the most recent expansion, Businesses & Hobbies, along with the unique activities you can do to improve them and the emotional state that’s best for each.
