The Sims 4 Focused Emotion

How to Make Your Sims Very Focused

A Very Focused Sim in The Sims 4
Very Focused

Focused Mood
Sims with the Genius Trait get a Focused Moodlet at random. It is fairly common to get Very Focused while at home because of the easy aura options, but a little harder on the go. Expansions and Game Packs add some extra options that do simplify the process. Here is an exhaustive list of ways that you can get your Sims focused through actions and auras. Longer moodlets are listed toward the bottom of each section. Find things your Sim can do, based on EPs you own and you can stack them until you achieve the mood you desire.

Focused for Skill/Career Ideal Moods
Focused is an Emotion useful in a number of things, namely Handiness, Fishing, Logic, Gardening, Programming, early levels of Astronaut, the Tech Guru Career (both Branches), Criminal Career (Oracle Branch), and Secret Agents (Villain Branch).
