Basic Skill Requirements for The Sims 4 Athlete Career

Before you take the plunge and get your sim from The Sims 4 involved in the athlete’s career, it is probably a good idea to check up on the skill requirements that are needed for your sim to do well in the career.

The first skill you are going to need, no matter what branch of the career you take, is the fitness skill. This shouldn’t be a surprise because an athlete needs to be fit! A treadmill is a great addition to your Sim’s household so they can work on their fitness skill without leaving home.

Charisma is the second skill that you will need as you climb the ladder. The best way to grow your charisma skill, besides talking with other fellow sims, is to practice talking in the mirror.

Starting Out in The Sims 4 Athlete Career

Everyone needs to start somewhere, and this is no different for a sim in the Sims 4 trying to make it in the athlete’s career. They can only gain in the athlete’s career through hard work and dedication! Below are the first four levels of the athlete’s career.

• Level 1: Waterperson. You don’t have any promotion tasks to get to the next level, but all you are doing is delivering water to sports stars. Ever seen the movie The Waterboy with Adam Sandler? Yes, that’s your sim.
• Level 2: Locker Room Attendant is where you take on the responsibilities of cleaning and organizing. A lot of it is cleaning, though. To reach the next level, the charisma and fitness skills have to get up to level 2, so make sure you get on that!
• Level 3: Team Mascot, and before you start lamenting about how lame this job is, remember how essential mascots are! They get the crowd pumping. Only promotion tasks are to get charisma and fitness to level 3, which should be no problem for a mascot on top of their game.
• Level 4: Dance Team Captain. Want to gain a promotion? Well, if you want to pirouette to the next level make sure your charisma and fitness skills are level four or higher!

The next level depends on what branch of the athlete’s career you want to take. You have a choice of becoming a professional athlete or a bodybuilder.
