The Sims 4: Here’s How to Mentor Fitness

Working careers are quite important in everyday life. Some careers can be exhausting, but people mostly want to find something that fulfills them and complements their lifestyle well. Maxis also incorporated this feature in the Sims games, and players could become whatever they wanted. Of course, while working, Sims are earning money and leveling up their skill in certain areas, and Maxis added one feature to the game that intrigued the players – mentoring. This article will explain how to mentor Fitness in Sims 4.

Fitness makes your Sims more athletic

Before we start explaining details around mentoring in Sims 4, we need to determine what classifies as a Fitness Skill, what careers your Sims can have if they are fond of sports, and finally, discuss the ways you can level up Fitness skills.

Since the first Sims games, Fitness always had the same definition – Fitness is a skill in The Sims games and a way for Sims to become more athletic. It also indicates that Sim will be in great shape and will probably use this particular skill in his career.

To build a Fitness skill, one needs to use treadmills, weight machines, punching bags, and all other gym equipment. There’s an option for Sims to jog around the neighborhood, which can be triggered when they are outside the house.

Of course, even though the Sim is ready to work out, especially if it has an Athletic trait, you attach to Sim during the customization. Of course, Sims gets tired after a long workout, and Pumped moodlet quickly changes to Uncomfortable after some time. The moodlet points at Sims’ soreness from working out and the fact they are tired.

Other moodlets after the long workout are Fatigued, Pulled a Muscle, and possibly Sore Back if your Sims sleeps on a cheap bed. Hygiene decay is highly possible as well, and the mood called Filthy is possible to appear as well.

The Athlete career was present in the Sims games from its very beginnings. Still, in Sims 4, Maxis added another possible career path, and now players could choose to become either a Bodybuilder or a Professional Athlete career. The more you impress your employers, the more Simoleons and promotions on work, your Sim, will gain.

One can progress in their Sims professional sports career by leveling up Fitness and other suitable Skills at that moment. Now that we shortly explained the Fitness Skill in Sims 4 let’s go through a mini guide on how to mentor other Sims.

How to mentor Fitness in Sims 4?

We established that there are ten levels of Fitness ability Sims can learn, which will benefit their professional careers. It will give them Satisfaction Points gained by completing Sims Whims; that feature long term makes their life much easier.

Of course, each Fitness level brings something else to Sim, who learns something new every time. To not go into detail about every single ability Sims gain by leveling up their Fitness Skill, we will provide you with one example. If your Sims gain level six of the Fitness ability, they will get a social interaction called Show Off Muscles.

Sims 4 also included Secret skills for each trait, so Fitness buff Sims can Rock Climb, Skate, Juice Pong, and Ping Pong. Of course, each secret skill comes with a specific Sims 4 expansion pack.

The same premise can be applied to each level; the final and highest Fitness level is the tenth. Besides your Sim becoming an exceptional athlete and potentially getting the highest award in their work career, they will gain the most valuable ability of all – mentoring.

Mentoring is not exclusive only to Fitness skills, which we will discuss in other articles. The mentoring of other Sims confused some fans since they did not understand what they needed to do to get this social interaction.

First, your Sim needs to approach other Sims during the workout. Remember, your Sim needs to have a good relationship, or at least a Good Friend relationship, with other Sims to offer their services. When you increase good social interaction with other Sims, preferably to Good Friend, click on other Sim – amongst other social interaction options, you will have an option called “Mentor.”

And that is it, really. To gain the ability to mentor other Sims, your Sim needs to have level ten Fitness Skills, a good relationship with other Sims you want to mentor, and finally, your Sim can become a great Fitness trainer.

Mentoring is a great social interaction since both your Sim and others gain cool moodlets and boosts that will help them in the long run, and maybe your Sim can score a great romantic lover in all of this.

In the end, essential needs and social interaction are the most important things in Sims games in the long run. Grind your Sim’s greatest and main trait, use it in their careers, and boost your Sim’s life to the highest goals. Because satisfactory points and life goals are most important for your Sim, they are at the center of the game.
