The minds of children may be physically smaller, but they are also less cluttered with junk, like fun facts about llamas or algebra. Kids that can hone their mental muscle early may find themselves more easily able to grasp more complex logic later in life.

The minds of children may be physically smaller, but they are also less cluttered with junk, like fun facts about llamas or algebra. Kids that can hone their mental muscle early may find themselves more easily able to grasp more complex logic later in life.

Mental is a fundamental category in The Sims 4. It has a special skill for children, and an aspiration dedicated to it. Mental skills are augmented by being focused.

Such skills are: Archaeology[TS4:JA], Fabrication[TS4:EL], Fishing, Gardening, Gemology[TS4:CCS], Handiness, Juice Fizzing[TS4:EL], Logic, Programming, Research & Debate[TS4:DU], Robotics[TS4:DU], Rock Climbing[TS4:SE], Rocket Science, Vampire Lore[TS4:V], Veterinarian[TS4:C&D], Video Gaming and Wellness[TS4:SD]. The fundamental can be gained by playing chess and video games, doing extra credit homework with a school grade of B or above, joining cooking with teen or older Sims, and using the Junior Wizard Starter Set. Other ways to build this fundamental include using a Backyard Observatory, playing a doctor set[TS4:PH], practicing yoga on the yoga mat (along with child's Motor skill)[TS4:SD], digging for artifacts[TS4:JA], and by meditating using a meditation stool[TS4:SD].
