One of the most fun parts of The Sims 4 is evolving your character (or characters) to accomplish goals. In real life it’s not always that much fun because it’s a process that can take years, even decades, but in Electronic Arts’ life simulator it can be one or two afternoons at the most.
I’m talking about Skills in The Sims 4 . Below I will tell you what they are, what they are for and how to upload them quickly… yes, more.
Skills in The Sims 4
Skills in The Sims 4 allow your Sim to learn different skills to progress in their life. And when I say “progress in your life”, I mean moving up in your jobs to get paid more and buy more things. Quite the opposite of what Tyler Durden preached in the movie Fight Club .
These skills are often a prerequisite for advancement in any job, and each is learned in a variety of ways. You have to juggle daily chores and work to make time to learn them. The ideal is to know as many as possible and increase their level , although life is not going to give you that much… unless you are immortal .
In any case, this is the list of skills, how to learn them and the tricks to have them instantly (explanation below):
