How to Gain Logic Skill in The Sims 4
Logic Skill can be built by your Sim doing any of the following activities: (P.S. I put my three favourite methods first!)
- Play Chess
- Purchase a chess table for your Sim’s lot or travel to a park lot, which (almost) always have chess tables.
- Interact with a Telescope or Observatory
- All interactions with these objects will increase your Sims logic skill and will give them a focused moodlet.
- Read Logic Skill Books
- Purchase a Logic Skill Book by clicking on any bookcase (or computer) in game and select the “buy a book” option. To find the book you want quicker you can filter the books in the dropdown menu to only show “Skill” books.
- Purchase the volume appropriate for the level of logic skill that your Sim has: Vol. 1 (Beginner) for levels 1 to 3, Vol. 2 (Intermediate) for levels 4 to 6, and Vol. 3 (Advanced) for levels 7 to 9.
- Play Cards or Puzzles
- Purchase a games table for your sims’s lot from build/buy mode. Learn how to play puzzles in this post!
- Painting a Mathematical Diagram
- If your Sim is focused, then painting a “Mathematical Diagram” will appear as an option by clicking on an easel. By painting it your Sim’s logic skill will increase.
- Microscope Samples
- Buy a microscope for your lot in build/buy mode. Be aware that this object is very large, so you will need empty space on your lot! Collect crystals, fossils and plants to be able to analyse them under the microscope.
How to Gain the Logic Skill Faster
When performing the actions listed above, your Sim will gain the logic skill faster if they are focused or if they have a helpful trait (explained further below).
With the Sims 4 Tiny Living, having a Tier 1 or 2 sized house will give your sim the perk of gaining skills twice as fast!
How to Become Focused
Here’s a list of actions that will give your Sim the focused moodlet:
- “Ponder Moves” action on the chess table
- All interactions with the telescope or observatory
- Being in the same room as an object that has an emotional aura enabled (focus decor) such as a Mathematical Diagram which has a +4 aura
- “Study” action on a fossil
- Listen to focus music
- “View Focused Work” action on “mathematical diagram” painting
Depending on your Sim’s traits and environment they could become very focused, which is super useful for gaining the logic skill quickly!
Helpful Traits
Genius
Bookworm
Overachiever (High School Years)
Helpful Likes/Dislikes
In Create-A-Sim you can set your Sims likes and dislikes manually. To increase the logic skill, liking “focus music” can be helpful as it increases the likelihood of your Sim becoming focused when listening to it!
Helpful Reward Potions and Reward Traits
These rewards can be super useful if you would like your Sim to gain the logic skill very quickly:
Focused Potion (200)
Morning Sim (1,000)
Night Owl (1,000)
Speed Reader (1,000)
Savant (4,000)
The numbers in the brackets below indicate the number of satisfaction points each of them cost.
