Sims 4 Get Famous (Acting Skill Guide) & Cheats (2024)

Acting is one of the most sought-after careers in the game because of the fame and popularity your avatar would gain due to it and also because it’s such a lucrative career option, even in real life.

It was introduced first in the Get Famous expansion pack initially and offered the characters a chance to earn money by getting promotions in this field.

In addition, characters who are a part of the drama club, which is an after school activity, would also have to gain this skill to progress. 

This article will guide you through the Sims 4 acting skill and what all it consists of, so let’s get to it right away. 

How to Gain the Acting Skill?

There are several ways for your avatar to acquire acting skills, such as reading skill books that would help them in doing so. However, this option is slightly time taking, so they’d reach the highest level of skills gradually. 

Another effective way is for them to practice acting in front of a mirror or by using a microphone. As they say, practice makes the man perfect, and that’s precisely what would apply to your sim as well. When they achieve level 4 in acting skills, they will gain a special mirror, The Trouper’s Looking Glass.

Did it remind you of another character? Alice in the Looking Glass, maybe? Anyway, when you add this mirror in the room for your avatar to practice in front of, they’d learn the skill much quicker. 

Apart from this, you could also go for making them perform in public, but you’d have to make them perform again and again because it’s not an automated process.

When they’re acting in front of the mirror, they’ll practice on their own again and again unless you tell them to stop, but that’s not the case when they do so in public. 

Required Traits and Aspirations

When you’re trying to learn the skill of acting, there are certain traits and aspirations that could help along the way if you choose them. So the attributes that they should have are – 

1. Self Assured

This trait is an essential one because whenever you’re learning a new skill, it’s vital to achieve the hidden mood it comes with, and this attribute would help you do that.

This feature would also make them feel confident, which is the key to excellent and successful acting because a sim with stage fright can’t have a career in this field.

2. Creative

Being creative is also quite a crucial trait because this would help them feel inspired and come up with new ideas and also be in a good mood. 

3. Cheerful

This one’s a no-brainer because when your character has this quality, they’d be in a happy mood more often and would receive fewer negative moodlets, and that’s always a good thing, especially as an actor. 

Now, as for the aspirations your character should have – 

4. Master Actor Aspiration

This goal is in direct sync with the acting career and would help you increase their skills as an actor as well. Once you complete this aspiration, your avatar will gain a renowned actor/actress trait as a bonus.

This trait would help them gain confidence and never fail again at acting, and that would help them become famous and gain skills more quickly. 

Acting Skill Levels

There are a total of 10 levels and each one requires something specific from you, so let’s delve into that in more detail. 

• Level 1 – At level one, you’d unlock the ability to practice in front of the mirror, or use a microphone.

• Level 2 – This level would allow your avatar to practice with another character instead of a mirror. Also, your avatar now has the skill to cry on demand. When you click on your sim, they will receive a sadness moodlet for a little time. 

• Level 3 – At level 3, your character would gain an essential skill, which is to get out of an awkward conversation or situation through their acting. They can also do a romance scene with another character and earn tips from it as well. 

• Level 4 – As I mentioned earlier, level 4 would unlock the Trouper’s Looking Glass, which helps your gaming avatar learn skills quickly. The mirror would not become a part of your inventory automatically, though. 

• Level 5 – You can now perform a musical scene in public and earn tips from it. 

• Level 6 – At this level, your sim can officially perform acting scenes and even earn money from it, and if they are stuck in a boring conversation, then they can act “Not Bored” to save themselves from that situation.

•  Level 10 – This is the highest level of acting skill, and your avatar can now perform drama scenes, which helps them earn tips as well. You’ll also gain a pair of pants and a jacket in CAS. 

How Do You Cheat Acting Skill in Sims 4?

Sometimes, you might not want to go through all ten levels to achieve the rewards they unlock, or you might get stuck at one level, which gets annoying after some time. So in such situations, you can use the acting skill cheat Sims 4 instead to progress further. Here’s how you can do so. 

• Click Ctrl + Shift + C.

• The game would notify you that the cheats are enabled. You can now enter any cheat code in the dialog box.

There are two types of skills in the game, major and minor skills, on the basis of which the number of levels is decided, and since acting is a major skill, it has ten levels. Input stats.set_skill_level major_acting X to move forward in these levels. All you need to do is replace the X with any of the levels. For instance, if you want your character to reach level 6, enter stats.set_skill_level major_acting 6. 

Level 1	stats.set_skill_level major_acting 1
Level 2	stats.set_skill_level major_acting 2

Perform Acting for Tips 

If your character’s waiting for an acting gig, they can perform acting scenes in public till then to earn tips for the time being. It’ll be a side hustle sort of a thing, or if you just want a little money instead of a proper job, then this is the perfect way to do so.

If they can intrigue a lot of people to watch them perform, then they can earn a decent amount from it. You can also ask a friend of your character to perform with them. If a crowd gathers around your avatar, it also leads to them earning a little fame as well. 

Emotional Manipulation

Actors are great at emotional manipulation because even if they’re saying I love you to another sim, it might just be an act.

This acting skill of sims is only helpful in situations where they have to either get out of an awkward conversation or if the discussion turns strange, they can use their charisma to fix it. They don’t achieve much when it comes to their acting career, per se. 

Conclusion

If you want your character to walk down the acting path or if you think they have a natural talent for acting, then Sims 4 acting skill is the right skill for them to learn because it would polish their skills and add finesse to their acting.

They’ll earn fame and money through this skill, and even if they don’t become a celebrity, they can still follow their passion and perform in public to make a decent amount every day.
