Mischief

A sim pranking another sim.

Mischief is a social skill in The Sims 4. It improves a Sim's ability to pull pranks on other Sims, as well as allows them to use the Voodoo doll and perform more mischievous interactions on the computer and the phone. Reaching level 10 in the mischief skill is the requirement for the Mischief Mastered achievement. Additionally, the Problem Child achievement is also attained if a teen reaches level 10.

Those that decide to pursue the mischief skill can take Chief of Mischief as their aspiration, as the goals in that aspiration align with the skill.

Traits that could also help are, as follows:

  • Goofball: Influences the playful emotion, which is helpful for mischief.
  • Childish: Having children nearby will allow Sims to become playful more easily as well.
  • Mean: It allows Sims to earn happy moodlets while being mischievous.
  • Maker[TS4:EL]: If a Sim got spattered by dye caused by a fabrication failure, these Sims will also make playful.
  • Cringe[TS4:FR]: Influences the playful emotion as well.
