Sims 4 Bodybuilder Aspiration Guide: Step by step guide

If you want an overview of the aspiration or help with choosing your traits and setting up for this aspiration please read the previous post here.

Stage 1: Basic trainer

Work out for 8 hours (for 50 Satisfaction Points(SP))
Work out in a gym (for 50 Satisfaction Points(SP)).

All you need to do to complete this stage is go to the gym venue (using your phone to travel) and start working out on a machine of your choice, and then continue working out, either there or at home, for eight hours.

It helps if you enter the gym energized and with high needs, as you should be able to workout solidly at the gym for the eight hours in one go if you want to. If you talk to one of the gym trainers once you have started working out and ask them to mentor you, you will get an additional boost (as well as becoming quick friends with the mentor).

Stage 2: Exercise Demon

Achieve Level 4 Fitness Skill (for 300 SP)

Achieving level 4 fitness skill is just a case of grinding through until you get there, while keeping your state as energized as possible. If you get bored of exercising just at the gym or at home you can always go for a jog or even go to a swimming pool location (if you have one).

You can get a negative buff “sore”for about 4 hours which may make you too uncomfortable to workout. If you have Spa Day then you can take muscle relaxing baths (30s) to remove soreness (and re-energize yourself), otherwise you can either wait or immerse your sim with energized and happy buffs to power through it. You could also nap through the soreness and then wake up feeling energized.

Push the Limits for One Hour While Energized (for 250 SP)

To get the option to push the limits on exercise machines, you have to first work out until you get pumped and complete the exercise routine, then workout again on another machine (or the same one) once you are energized. This may result in a sore buff the next day.

Anne-Marie worked out, had a brisk shower, then pushed the limits (whilst being mentored by Eric to make sure her energized mood did not drop).

Own 2 Pieces of Workout Equipment (for 300 SP)

You have to return home for this to register. Obviously just buying two bits of equipment may be the easiest way forward, but if money is an issue you could always buy two cheap punching bags, allow the game to acknowledge you’ve bought them, and then resell them. You will lose a few simoleans but it won’t be too bad.

Stage 3: Fit to a T

Achieve Level 6 Fitness skill (for 500 SP)
Go Jogging for 2 Total Hours (for 350 SP)
Spend 10 Hours exercising (for 500 SP)

This again is a fairly easy stage to complete, if with a little time grinding. You may as well start off with the two hours jogging, as they count as two hours of your ten hours exercising To go jogging, click on yourself, and select the option. Keep an eye on your sims whilst they are out jogging (if you have more than one sim in your family) as it’s not always apparent when they have finished. From then onwards, always keeping your mood as energized as possible, keep working out until you have emassed ten hours and reached level six of fitness.

As always working out at the gym, and with mentors, can be of great help. You can even invite one round (if you’re friendly enough with them) to mentor you at home.

Stage 4: Bodybuilder

Reach Level 10 Fitness Skill (for 1250 SP)
Reach Sims’ Maximum Body Potential (for 1500 SP)

This stage is simply a matter of grinding through the exercise regime until you get to level 10 fitness. As always keep your sim energized to increase their fitness learning speed.

To reach your sim’s body maximum potential, make sure that you are mixing up the forms of exercise (i.e. both running machine and weight machine). You should find that you just achieve your body potential somewhere around level 7 or 8 if you have been doing a range of exercises. You are aiming to get maximum muscle and minimum thinness if you were in the CAS window. If you are having difficulty with this part, and have already reached level 10 of the fitness skill, then examine your sim closely. If they are thin but not very muscular do more muscle building activities. If they are quite muscular then do more weight loss activities.

Weight Loss Activities

Running Machine (any choice)
Jogging
Swimming

Muscle Gain Activities

Boxing (any choice)
Weight Lifting Machine (any choice)

Reward: Long Lived Trait

Once you complete this aspiration, you are rewarded with the long lived trait which means that you live longer at the elder stage of life. It is presumed to be approximately 25% longer, but this has been difficult to prove via play testing. Your sims will certainly a lot longer than sims that have not completed this aspiration. Your sim can still die from fires or from being in a too high emotional state (e.g. death from embarrassment), so this does not make them immortal.

Best Mood, Traits and Careers

Mood

Your sim will want to be very energised or energised as often as possible while working out as this will increase the rate in which they learn the skill. Your sim can not die from being too energised, so the ideal is to stack as many energised and happy buffs as possible.

Traits:

Active is obviously one of the best choices, as not only does it give you random energised buffs but it also means your sim will enjoy themselves as they work out, but there are plenty of other traits that can give you an energised buff or otherwise are helpful for this skill. These include:

Bro – gives you an energised buff when you watch sports on TV
Kleptomaniac – gives you an energised buff when you successfully steal something
Neat – can get an energised buff from a cleaning frenzy and clean the house at the same time.
Loves the Outdoors – gives you a happy buff when your outdoors, so great for jogger sims.
Cheerful – gives you random happy buffs

Careers:

There is no way of earning money through the fitness skill alone, so you probably will want your sim to have a career. The Athletic career is the obvious choice as it is a pure fitness skill career in the bodybuilder path, with some charisma required for the alternative branch. The secret agent and astronaut careers also require sims to have some fitness skill, and often require you to be energised going into work. However, as this is one of the quickest skills to maximise, you could always do it alongside any other career.

Becoming Energised

There are a lot of ways to get your sim energised, including:

Taking a brisk shower
Taking a muscle relaxing soak in the bath (with the Spa Day game pack)
Eating a high energy protein plate (your sim will be able to cook these when already in an energised state, but you can make a serving of 8 and save them for later)
Doing an energy centering routine on the yoga mat (with the Spa day game pack)
Decorating your home gym with crystals – they give off an energising aura (click on them and select enable aura)
Reading energising books
Being mentored by a gym trainer, or another sim with level 10 fitness – simply start exercising and ask the sim to mentor you

At level 3 of the skill you can research workout tips on the computer that will give you an energised buff

Starting Learning the Fitness Skill in the Sims 4

You can start building fitness skills by either clicking on your sim and selecting jogging, clicking on a spot on the floor and selecting exercise or, if you want to be fancy, interacting with a piece of gym equipment. If you work out at the gym, you can get an extra boost to your learning speed by asking a gym trainer (or other sim with level 10 fitness) to mentor you. Simply start exercising and then click on the gym trainer and select “Ask to mentor”, you will also find that you quickly gain friendship while they are mentoring you.

You can also read books on fitness which will boost your skill but obviously will not change your sims body shape, and will take longer

As you improve you will unlock the following skills:

Level 1: Jogging, swimming, and basic workouts on the running and weights machine and practise boxing on the punching bag.
Level 2: You unlock the social interaction to discuss workouts with other sims which might give you an energised buff
Level 3: You can now do the endurance run on the treadmill and research workout tips on the computer (under the web section)
Level 4: You can now box on the punching bag, and lift heavy weights on the weights machine
Level 5: You can do a no sweat run on the treadmill, so exercise without losing hygiene and can make protein shakes at the bar which will give you an energised buff.
Level 6: You can show off your muscles to other sims without being confident
Level 7: You can do a hill challenge on the treadmilll
Level 8: You can do an epic workout on the weights machine
Level 9: You can practise fighting with other sims. This will cause your sim to have a fight but without losing friendship with the sim they fight
Level 10: Mentor other sims.

Sims 4 Fitness Skill and Basketball (with the Sims City Living Expansion Pack)

If you have the City Living expansion pack your sim can also learn the fitness skill via playing basketball. As their fitness skill increases your sim will unlock the following basketball abilities:

Dream Big – Your sim will pretend they are a basketball player going for the closing shot of a game. They can get an energised moodlet from doing this, or an embarrassed moodlet if another sim catches them attempting this
Shoot Around – Your sim will practise taking shots. The higher their fitness or motor skills the more types of shot they can take, and the more likely they are to land the shots.If your sim gets three consecutive shots in a row they will get a happy moodlet.
Practice Dribbling/Dribble – Your sim will practise dribbling the ball. There skills and animations will improve as their fitness skill gets higher.
Coach (Unlocks at Level 3 Fitness Skill) – Your sim can coach other sims they know if they are already playing basketball. Your sim may gain a confident moodlet and the sim you are coaching may gain a energised moodlet.
Take Shots – Your sim will practise taking shots at the hoop. As they improve their fitness skill your sim will be able to take different shots from further away. The higher their fitness skill the more likely they are to make the shots. If your sim makes three shots in a row they might get a happy moodlet. The shots they can take are:
- Close Shots
- 2 Pointers (Unlocks at Level 2 Fitness Skill)
- Free Throws (Unlocks at Level 2 Fitness Skill)
- 3 Pointer (Unlocks at Level 4 Fitness Skill)
- Half Court (Unlocks at Level 6 Fitness Skill)
Dunks – Your sim will practise dunks at the hoop. The higher their fitness skill the more likely they are to make a dunk and the more styles they can unlock. Be warned that if your sim fails a shot they can get a sprained ankle moodlet which will leave them feeling uncomfortable for two hours, but they will continue playing. The types of dunk your sim can take are:
- Layup
- Double Clutch (Unlocks at Level 3 Fitness Skill)
- 360 Monster Jam (Unlocks at Level 5 Fitness Skill)
Challenge – Your sim can challenge another sim in the area to a basketball competition. At first you only have the option of a hoops competition, but once you reach level three of the fitness skill you can challenge other sims to a dunk competition. Your sim and the sim you challenge will take turns taking shots or dunks for a few rounds. If your sim wins the competition they will gain a happy moodlet.

What type of workout to do

Working out to gain skill as quickly as possible

If you follow the order that activities are unlocked then you should gain fitness skill faster, so an epic workout (at level 8) will gain you fitness skill faster than lifting heavy weights (level 4).

To reach maximum body potential – losing weight and gaining muscle

Different activities will have different effects on your sim’s body. You may want your sim to be particularly thin but not muscular, or big with lots of muscles and so can achieve that by doing the correct exercises. If you are trying to reach your sim’s maximum body potential for the Bodybuilder aspiration, then you are aiming to get your sim with minimum fatness and maximum muscle so will need to do a range of exercises.

Having reached their bodies’ maximum potential

Weight Loss Activities

Running Machine (any choice)
Jogging
Swimming
Basketball (with sims 4 City Living)

Muscle Gain Activities

Boxing (any choice)
Weight Lifting Machine (any choice)

Mentoring Other Sims

Once you reach level 10 you should be able to mentor other sims in the fitness skill. You will need to wait until a sim starts exercising and then an option to mentor should be available. This will give your sim a confident buff, and the sim you are mentoring will get a strong energised buff and a boost to their skill learning speed.
