Programming is a skill in The Sims 4. It allows Sims to perform various code-based interaction on the Computer, like creating Plugins or Mobile Apps, and earn money from it.
Description
Programming, like a second language, is a very important skill to learn for Sims interested in technology. It allows them to create Plugins, Mods, Mobile Apps and Games, as well as Hack! Programming is mainly raised through interactions on the Computer, but Skill Books relating the skill can be purchased. Focused is the optimal emotion for it. The Start Up branch of the Tech Guru career focuses on raising this skill and improving it.
The best Traits to take to raise this skill are, as follows:
- Genius: A random Focused +1 Moodlet appears at times, helping to reach the emotion.
- Geek: Geeks gain Fun while using Computers.
