In The Sims 4, there are several emotions, and they all have their own perks that Sims can take advantage of during their day-to-day lives - even certain negative feelings, such as Sadness. Positive emotions have tons of perks that are worth remembering so that players' Sims make the most of how they're feeling.

This guide will focus on the Confident emotion, which is one of the most useful emotions in The Sims 4; it greatly increases Sim's chances to successfully perform social interactions and makes them more likely to make high-quality meals, paintings, and handcrafted items. The main goal of this article is to show players how they can become Confident in-game and talk about the various bonuses they can only receive while feeling this way.

How to Become Confident

Sims will feel Confident from time to time, and this can have a great impact on their day-to-day lives. Thankfully, it's actually possible for gamers to get their Sims to feel Confident by doing certain tasks. Here are some activities that will give Sims Confident moodlets:

  • Sims will feel more Confident after brushing their teeth
  • Sims can use the Psych Self Up interaction near a mirror to improve their Confidence
  • Players can purchase the Confident Potion in the Rewards Store for 200 Points

There are several situational events in a Sim's life that can get them to feel Confident, such as getting promoted, improving a skill, or crafting a high-quality item. However, the activities mentioned above are at a Sim's disposal much more often.

When Sims feel Confident, they should paint a Confident painting. This will create a painting with a Confident emotional aura, which can then be enabled in a room whenever the player needs the Sim to become Confident again.

Sims that feel Confident are more likely to successfully perform certain social interactions, increase certain skills faster, and make higher quality items, so players should take advantage of this emotion whenever possible.

The Confident emotion is tied to the Charisma Skill, so Sims will improve it much faster whenever they feel Confident. On top of this, interactions such as pick-up lines and asking for loans are more likely to be successful. The Bold Pick-up Line interactions will never fail, so if a Sim wants to improve their romance with another Sim, this is definitely the way to go.

Lastly, if a Sim is feeling Confident, they will make higher quality items. So, if players need their Sim to knit a Legendary quality item or they'd like to paint a few masterpieces that they can sell, they should make sure that their Sim is Confident.
