How can you actually write a bestseller in The Sims 4? Does the Sim just randomly write the bestseller, or are there certain requirements for the book to become a bestseller? One or the other player of Sims 4 who is in the process of improving the “writing” ability and would like to become a writer will perhaps deal with these questions. Sooner or later you will be given the task or goal of writing a bestseller and even if you have already written a few books and increased your writing skill, you will not become a bestseller author immediately. But how do you write a bestseller?
Writing bestsellers in The Sims 4
The quality of books in The Sims 4 depends on the writing level. The higher the level of writing skill, the better the books usually get. But a high level of writing does not guarantee a bestseller. Besides the writing ability there are other things that affect the end result like in this case the finished book and one of those is the Inspired emotion. If the Sim is “Inspired” or even better “Very Inspired”, then the probability of writing a bestseller increases significantly. In another article we have already described how a Sim can be inspired (including the inspired cheat).
Another way to increase the probability of writing a bestseller is the “Creative Visionary” reward, which can be unlocked in the reward store. The reward increases the chance of writing or painting a masterpiece (i.e. a bestseller).
Otherwise, writing a bestseller is all about sticking with it, getting a high writing skill, and inspiring the Sim. Sooner or later a bestseller should come out of it.
Best selling cheat and writing skill
So far there is no real “bestseller cheat” in The Sims 4 with which you can write a bestseller at the push of a button. However, you can increase both the writing ability and the inspiration with a cheat.
- Open the cheat window with CTRL+Shift+C and activate the cheats with “testingcheats true”.
- The inspiration can be increased with the cheat “sims.Add_Buff InspiredHigh”.
- The ability to write can be increased with the cheat “stats.set_skill_level Major_Writing 10”.
