The Sims 4 offers a world where players have the ultimate power to create and control the lives of their virtual characters, Sims. Transcending the boundaries of traditional gaming, The Sims 4 immerses players in a lifelike simulation, where it's up to them to live out their wildest fantasies and navigate the complexities of daily life.
Anyone familiar with The Sims 4 would know that aspirations are a crucial mechanic in the game. Among them is Whiz Kid, an aspiration designed for kids that involves completing various tasks to advance skills and personal development. One of the milestones in this aspiration is the task of reading with an adult Sim for a total of two in-game hours. The following guide will explain how the process works.
How to Read with an Adult in The Sims 4
The Whiz Kid Aspiration is one of the four childhood aspirations in The Sims 4 for kids. Upon completing it, the child Sim gets the 'Mentally Gifted' trait. To start the task of reading with an adult, players should first choose a Sim from the options of a young adult, adult, or elder sim. After making the selection, proceed to putting a children's book in that Sim’s inventory, which can be obtained from a bookshelf.
Then, click on the book and select the "Read to Child" option. Finally, select the child who is pursuing the Whiz Kid aspiration.
It is important to note that only an adult sim can carry out this action.
How to Get a Children's Book
In The Sims 4, players can easily spot children's books as they are easily identifiable by their white and purple design. Before reading to a child, players will need to purchase the book. For this purpose, click on the bookshelf and select "Purchase Books." Next, filter for the children's books and pick any. Alternatively, players can also buy a book using their computer.
After clicking 'order,' players should choose one from the children’s genre, and it will be added to their inventory upon the completion of the purchase. It’s possible that the Sim may already have a children’s book. To verify this, players can click on the bookshelf, choose 'Open,' and take a look at the inventory.
After completing the Whiz Kid aspiration, the child Sim will be rewarded with the ‘Mentally Gifted’ trait. This trait will help them acquire mental skills more rapidly during their adulthood.
The Sims 4 is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
