The Sims 4: Law Career Guide

Now that we have been awarded with The Sims 4: Discover University , we have gotten 3 new careers with law being a really exciting addition to the game.

Your sim now has the opportunity to become a judge or a private attorney through the career and can make a really great living doing so. This guide is going to tell you everything we need to know about the law career in The Sims 4.

Traits for the Law Career

Choosing the right traits for your sim can really help you gain skills more quickly and get promotions faster.

The first trait that can help is the genius trait. This is because you need to work on the logic skill for the Judge Branch and genius sims are going to get focused more often, which can improve how quickly your sim gains the logic skill.

You may also want to choose outgoing because you’ll need to gain the charisma skill for the Private Attorney. The best way to gain the charisma skill is by talking to other sims and outgoing sims will have the best time when doing so.

Lot Traits for the Law Career

Lot traits are extremely helpful if you’re trying to advance in your career because certain lot traits are going to help you build skills faster. This career is going to focus on the logic skill and the charisma skill as well as the brand new research & debate skill .

The first lot trait that will be helpful is the science lair lot trait, this one is going to make your sim gain the logic skill more quickly.

The second one that will help the law career is the convivial lot trait. This one is great for the charisma skill because it makes social interactions go more smoothly which can help you gain the skill quicker.

Degrees That Help With This Career

With The Sims 4: Discover University there is a degree (or two or three) that will help with each career and will give you bonuses. You’ll start the career at a further level, make more money, and even get a signing bonus.

The two degrees that you’re going to get bonuses for the law career are going to be history or language and literature !

Working From Home

The new law career has the awesome option to work from home if you so choose. Every single morning an hour before your shift is set to start your sim will get a pop up asking if they want to go to work or work from home for the day.

If you choose the work at home option you’ll be given a few tasks to complete by the time your next shift starts the next day. For the law career these are things like file legal motion, file court documents , and more. Most of these can be done on the computer under the career section.

As you complete these tasks you’ll be paid a bit of money for each task and can also get a bonus if your boss thinks you did a great job.

Law Career Levels

“Sims who pursue a career in law are in a unique position to help others with their legal problems, champion causes, and further the public good (or not). That fancy paycheck doesn’t hurt either!”

This career is going to focus heavily on the research & debate skill, so it’s important that you work on this early and often. You can gain this skill using one of the research machines that can be found at the library in Britechester or at either of the University Commons.

Your daily task for this career is something simple like file court documents , this can be done on a computer under the career > law section.

To get passed level 4 of the law career, your sim is going to need to pass the lawyer’s exam . This is a rabbit hole where your sim will leave the house for two hours, you can find this interaction on the computer under the career > law section.

At level 5 of the law career you’re going to need to start offering your services to other sims that you know. You’ll do this by clicking on the sim and choosing offer legal representation.

Final Thoughts

I've been playing the Sims since the first game was released when I was only 5 years old. It's been a huge passion of mine for two decades and I've loved every single minute of it. I also love dogs. And grilled cheese sandwiches. And I think me and Bob Pancakes could be friends.

How do you complete the task to offer legal representation, it stays at “start”?

To offer legal representation you need to click on a sim that you know, and go to the friendly > law career section, and it should appear there!

Hi! My sim is currently a judge and a student, and she has to work from home once a week due to her schedule… so she was given the task of giving a guest lecture at a law class, either selecting whichever university building or using the phone, but neither of them gives that possibility. Do you have any idea how to give that guest lecture?

Wondering the same thing!

I had the same issue it’s available around 5:00pm by going to your phone and clicking the suitcase

Attended deposition and file court documents are constantly unavailable when working from home… is there a way to work around the bug or cheat to make it available on pc again?

I my sims keeps offering legal representation, yet it keeps saying that he has not started it. Anyone know why?

I am having that same exact issue

To complete the “offer legal representation” you need to file court documents. (At a higher level, before the 168.etc patch for Snowy Escape, the option to do that was not showing. It should be fixed now.)

i am having the same issue could anyone help?

Where can you put the scales of justice, they look stupid on the floor, is there a piece of furniture which will take the scales?

The offer legal representation has to be applied to SEVERAL sims you ask and they accept until the task is completed. That’s why I stopped using this career as it was very exhausting. I can imagine somewhere along the line you will be representing everyone!

my sims can’t do the Take the lawyer’s exam interaction without glitching and resetting herself, I tried just about everything even repairing the game.

Sims 4 Law Career Guide: Is This Career Right for Your Sim?

One of my favorite aspects of The Sims is the different jobs your Sims can work. The Law career is one of the most interesting career choices, in my opinion. The Law career branch was introduced in The Sims 2 and has since been a favorite career for Sims.

I had never actually had a lawyer Sim. All of my Sims are usually writers, though I created plenty of Sim musicians, artists, and have had a criminal or two. But after my experience with the Law career branch, I will either not consider this career again or choose different aspirations and traits.

I based my Sim on my favorite TV lawyer, Saul Goodman! Since the criminal lawyer on Breaking Bad  was as sneaky and corrupt as the criminals he represented, I wanted to attempt to make a “bad” lawyer. But I feel this worked against me more than for me.

Bottom line up front : There are many reasons I didn’t like the Law career branch. Your Sim worked long hours, had assignments at home, and my Sim struggled to get a proomotion.

Law Career Timeline

how to research current case in sims 4

Before I go into my experience with the law career branch, let’s take a good look at the timeline so you know what to expect.

Your Sim will have to hold seven different jobs before choosing a specialty. These jobs include:

  • Process Server
  • Legal Secretary
  • Building Barrister
  • Adept Attorney
  • Promising Prosecutor

Once your Sim becomes a Paralegal, they must pass the Law Exam. They can do this on a computer, and your Sim finishes it quickly. I’m not finding information on what your Sim needs for the exam or if they can fail it. I am reading that increasing your Sim’s Logic and Charisma and Research and Debate skills may help.

One thing I noticed in the law career is it’s difficult to get a promotion, more difficult than other careers my Sims have had. Even after completing all my work and getting my skills up, my Sim had trouble advancing. He started getting irritated and discouraged by the lack of promotions. I looked around on other Sims forums, and different players said they had the same struggles. Some said they had to use cheats for their Sim to get a promotion.

Once your Sim reaches level 7, they have the choice of joining the Private Attorney or the Judge branch.

Private Attorney Branch

how to research current case in sims 4

Your Sim will face some challenges if they choose the Private Attorney branch. Your Sim will have to become more charismatic to attract new clients and win their cases. Your Sim will also need some traits to build more friendships, such as Confidence and Funny.

Here are the jobs in the Private Attorney branch:

  •  Lead Litigator
  • Legal Eagle
  • Preeminent Partner

Judge Branch

If you decide to be a Judge, your Sim will have to focus more on the Logic skill. Here are the jobs in the Judge branch:

  • Gavel Smasher
  • Honorable Arbitrator
  • Chief of Justice

Facts About the Law Career Branch

While there are many qualities about the law career branch that I don’t like, there are other facts that I find extremely interesting.

You Can Work From Home

An hour before your Sim has to go to work, a pop-up appears asking if your Sim is going to work or working from home. I thought this was odd, so I looked into it.

The law career is one of the few career branches where your Sim can work remotely. If you choose to work from home, your Sim will have to complete certain tasks by the time their next shift starts. Your Sim will need to access a computer to complete most tasks, though some include finding new clients. I would take my Sim to the local park to meet prospective clients.

I definitely suggest taking advantage of this feature. As I will explain later, my Sim often became tense and unhappy. Other players on Sims forums said the same thing about their Sims. When your Sim works from home, they can take breaks in between their tasks, so they’re not as stressed out.

Will Have Work Outside Office Hours

how to research current case in sims 4

One of the biggest downsides of the Law Career branch is your Sims will need to work outside of office hours. This usually means they will have to file legal documents. Your Sim finishes it rather quickly, but they’re so stressed and tired from work I often wouldn’t make them complete these extra assignments. This is why choosing certain traits is essential, which is what I wished I knew first. I will recommend some traits below.

Skills Needed

The Law Career branch requires more skills than other career branches I played.

Your Sim will have to improve their Charisma and Research and Debate skills to excel at their job. Once your Sim reaches level 6, they must improve their Logic skill. Always keep a chess board and bookshelf in the home. While you can improve Charisma and Research and Debate by practicing your speech, your Sim will often be tense from work, and they will require more amusement. Reading and playing chess will improve their skills while keeping your Sim entertained.

Law Career Branch Unlocks

As you excel at your job and get promotions, your Sims will receive many impressive rewards that they can unlock. Here are the rewards they can earn and at which job level they earn the award.

  • Legal Case Files (Rank 2)
  • Chat About Scandalous Lawsuit Interaction (Rank 3)
  • Very Impressive Lawyer-y Desk Chair (Rank 4)
  • Offer Legal Representation Interaction and New CAS Items (Rank 5)
  • Very Impressive Lawyer-y Desk (Rank 6)
  • Barrister’s Bookcase (Rank 7)

When your Sim chooses a separate branch, each also has its own career unlocks.

Here are the Judge’s career unlocks:

  • Visit University Law Class (Rank 8)
  • Research Legal Issues (Rank 8)
  • Read Pleadings (Rank 8)
  • Guest Speak at University (Rank 9)
  • On a Scale of 1 to Justice (Rank 10)

Here are the private unlocks for the Private Attorney branch:

  • Discuss Complex Case Law (Rank 8)
  • Craft Legal Argument (Rank 8)
  • Research Case Law (Rank 8)

Traits and Aspirations for Law Career

how to research current case in sims 4

The traits and aspirations you choose for your Sim will affect the success of their law career. I found this out the hard way.

Recommended Aspirations

I’ll be honest. I can’t find many aspirations that I recommend for Sim lawyers. Here are a few that jump out to me:

  • Fabulously Wealthy – increase your wealth by getting 5% of your household funds added to your bank account every week
  • Friend of the World – easy to be friends with others since your friendships won’t decline over time
  • Leader of the Pack – you can take over a club and never be overthrown
  • Nerd Brain – your Sim will be very logical

Out of all of these aspirations, I think your Sim will benefit most from Friend of the World if your Sim will pursue the Private Attorney branch. Your Sim will make friends easier, resulting in more success in their practice. If your Sim enters the Judge branch, either Nerd Brain or Leader of the Pack will work best. Honestly, these aspirations don’t fully align with the law career, but these are the closest aspirations I could find to the Judge branch.

I also chose Fabulously Wealthy as a joke. Lawyers make good money, so why not have more money?

Recommended Traits

The traits you choose are the most vital. Your Sim will be tense a lot after work. On top of that, they will have more work to do after they come home from work. Your Sim should be able to stay happy and enjoy being around others to succeed in this career.

That’s why the first trait I recommend is Outgoing, whether or not your Sim decides to enter the Private Attorney branch. You’ll gain more friends and certain skills, such as Charisma, will come easier for you.

Obviously, you’ll need some smarts for the law career. That’s why I also recommend the Genius trait. The Genius trait will enhance your Logic skill. Plus, Genius Sims are more likely to stay focused.

My Experience With My Law Career Sim

As I said previously, I modeled my Sim after Saul Goodman. In case you never watched  Breaking Bad  or the spin-off  Better Call Saul , Saul Goodman is a sneaky criminal lawyer who can manipulate the law in every way to benefit his clients.

I thought this would be a fun experiment. Saul is a great lawyer, but he’s also mischievous and sneaky. He’s an unconventional and hilarious character but is also still intelligent, ambitious, and successful. I wanted my Sim to convey these traits so he could be a Saul Goodman-esque lawyer.

Aspirations and Traits I Chose

how to research current case in sims 4

For Saul Goodman’s Aspiration, I chose Chief of Mischief. Out of all of the Criminal Aspirations, this one seemed the most fitting. While Saul was a mean guy, he was more sneaky than anything. I thought of all of his antics on Better Call Saul  while achieving some of these Aspiration Goals.

For example, one of his Aspiration Goals was clogging drains in numerous homes. I could picture Saul doing something like that if he or his lawyer partner in crime/wife, Kim Wexler, didn’t get their way!

how to research current case in sims 4

These are the traits I chose for my Saul Goodman Sim:

Let’s start with the negative traits. With the Evil trait, your Sim will feel happiest when others around them have a negative emotion. The Mean trait is self-explanatory. These Sims love starting fights and making enemies. Dastardly is an essential trait if your Sim wants to be mean or mischievous. With the Dastardly trait, all of your Sim’s mischievous or mean interactions will be more successful. This influences them to perform more negative interactions.

I did want to include a positive trait because Saul Goodman isn’t a completely bad guy. I chose the Ambitious trait because that’s how I saw Saul. He was very hard-working and passionate about his work, always trying to get ahead.

However, this trait was the most difficult one I could choose. Saul was always in a negative mood when he didn’t get a career promotion. There were even times he was negative about not completing his work — though he was tense and would also get angry when I made him work more.

At the same time, your Sim will feel more positive when they get a job and gain career success. Saul would become confident when he succeeded, which helps your law career.

Difficulties I Faced

I faced more difficulties than this. As I said, Saul Goodman was constantly tense. What he truly loved was being mean and mischievous to others — he was unhappy in his job as a lawyer. His moodlets were often sad since he was working a job he didn’t love.

I was hoping the evil traits would inspire him to be a crooked lawyer, but the Sims don’t have that option. Instead, I recommend choosing positive traits such as Outgoing for your Sim. This way, they will be happiest when they’re around others.

How to Join the Law Career

With all of this being said, maybe you still want your Sim to join the law career. So, how do you get started? It’s easy! Click a computer or your Sim’s phone. Click “Find a Job.” Scroll down and find the Law career.

how to research current case in sims 4

On the bottom-right corner of the screen, click the briefcase icon. Here, you will find information about your job and view your performance. You’ll also see the at-home assignments you need to complete and any skills you need to gain.

Law Degree at Sims University

Does your lawyer Sim need a law degree first? Your Sim doesn’t need a degree, but having one will help them. However, there is no law degree in the Sims. Your Sim can pursue different fields that will benefit their law career. The recommended degrees include:

  • Language and Literature

As you can imagine, your Sim will study historical events and people to jumpstart their careers. With the Language and Literature Degree, your Sim will learn essential skills such as writing.

So, why take the time to earn these degrees if your Sim won’t study law? As with any degree in the game, your Sim will start its career at a later level. They will also receive bonuses.

Law Career Cheats

Even though my Saul Goodman Sim was working hard and completing his assignments (for the most part), he still wasn’t receiving a promotion. I wish I had known about this promotion cheat before.

To get a promotion, click Control + Shift + C on PC and Command + Shift + C for Mac. Type “testingcheats on” and press Enter. Type “careers.promote law” and select Enter. Your Sim will receive a promotion.

Question: Can my Sim Make a Lot of Money as a Lawyer?

Answer: A Sim in the law career can make more than the average profession. For example, the Paralegal role makes $30/hour, and that’s only a rank 4. If your Sim reaches rank 10 as a Private Attorney, they can earn $450/hour. Your Sim makes slightly less as a rank 10 in the Judge branch — $205/hour, which is still decent pay.

Question: I’m Unsure if my Sim Should get a History or Language and Literature Degree. Which one Should I Choose?

Answer: Honestly, both are fine. They’re both recommended for a Law career. You’ll also advance further with both degrees and will receive a bonus.

Question: How can my Sim get Law Clients?

Answer: What I did was take my Sim to a public place like the park and talk to random people. At rank 5 of the legal career, your Sim develops a new social interaction called “Offer Legal Representation.” Click that. If your Sim is charismatic and friendly enough, they should have no problem finding law clients.

Bottom Line

I have to be honest; the Law career branch isn’t one of the best I played. My Saul Goodman Sim was always tense since Sims in this career work long hours and also have assignments at home. You also have to reach Rank 7 to choose which specific branch you want to pursue. For most career branches my past Sims have had, they usually only had to reach Rank 4 to choose.

With all of these challenges, there are benefits. For example, the pay is pretty good.

If you choose this career, I suggest giving your Sim positive traits, and it’s a good idea to also give them the Genius trait. However, I still suggest considering other career branches before choosing this one.

With the Research & Debate skill added in The Sims 4: Discover University expansion pack, now, your Sims can learn a little bit more about learning – and how to be more effective at it. As your Sims level up in the Research & Debate skill, they’ll become quicker at finishing homework, more effective at studying, and more.

Sims 4 Discover University: Passing Your Degree Without Passing Out

It turns out completing Sims 4 college is as stressful as completing real college, so make sure to plan out your schedule if you want to pass.

Spend some time at the Research Machine on either of the university campuses or Practicing Debate in the mirror at your dorm to begin building the machine. By the final level, you can persuade Sims, earn some extra cash, and so much more.

a sim using the research machine at the britechester commons the sims 4 discover university research and debate skill

Made available in The Sims 4: Discover University expansion , the Research & Debate skill teaches your Sim persuasive communication methods .

How you choose to use these new skills is up to you - you can manage NPC Sims (which is massively beneficial when living with roommate Sims), coerce others to complete tasks on your behalf like your homework or your dinner, or even to perform assorted social interactions .

To get started with learning the Research & Debate skill, your Sim can either Practice Debate in any mirror , use a Research Machines to pursue the skill, or practice at any podium .

It'll primarily be built at the University of Britechester , as this university offers all four degrees related to the Research & Debate skill, which are Economics , History, Language and Literature, and Psychology .

Sims 4 Uni Britechester Campus

You don't strictly need to attend the University of Britechester to build the Research & Debate skill, as the Foxbury campus has Research Machines in their Commons building, too.

However, the University of Britechester is home to the Debate Guild, while the Foxbury Institute doesn't have a comparable club that helps your Sim gain the skill at the same time as socializing.

In fact, you technically don't even need to be a university student to pursue the Research & Debate skill - the skill is available for any Sims Teen and up.

Joining The University Of Britechester Debate Guild

Those Sims who hope to build their debate skills on-campus should look into the Debate Guild at the University of Britechester .

Meeting a few times a week, the Debate Guild is only open to University of Britechester students and is a great way for your Sim to continue sharpening their skill and making some friends on-campus while they do.

To join the Guild, you'll need to attend an event of theirs, of which there are several throughout the week.

While you're there, speak to any member of the Debate Guild and ask them to join. From there, like other Organizations, you'll rank up by participating in assorted Organization activities.

At Rank Three of the Debate Guild, you'll unlock a few sweet perks, like:

  • Convincing Professors to Increase Grade to boost your Sim's performance in a class.
  • A new Research Archive Machine .
  • Your Sim can give homework help and study tips to others.
  • The Debate Guild unlocks a cool new Guild jacket .

In all, the Debate Guild is a good way for your Research & Debate Sims to meet new folks around campus and socialize a bit more casually with their peers from the Guild.

Use The Research Machine To Build Other Skills, Too

If your Sim has access to the Electromagnetic Research Archive Machine

These machines can be found in the Commons buildings on both University campuses, and accessed for free while on that lot.

If your Sim has the cash to spend, you can also buy an Electromagnetic Research Archive Machine for your home lot, but it costs §12,000 .

But not only can you build the Research & Debate skill on the machine, but you can also use them to research other skills , too.

Once your Sim has reached Level Six of the Research & Debate skill, they can begin to Contribute Knowledge on the Research Machine with any skill they've mastered.

Doing so builds fame , if you're also playing with Get Famous.

Just be careful not to over-contribute, lest your Sim overexert themselves a bit too hard ...

How To Make Money With The Research & Debate Skill

Once your Sim has fully leveled their Research & Debate skill in The Sims 4: Discover University, they'll have a few options to earn Simoleons using what they learned.

Using the podiums , your Sim is able to either give professional commentary on any subject in which they're well-versed or have professional debates with another Sim for some cash.

Doing so will also offer your Sim some Fame, if you're also using the Get Famous expansion .

This is only available at Level Ten of the Research & Debate skill - your Sim needs to know what they're talking about and how to present a case if they've got any hope of winning!

Additionally, once they've mastered another skill , your Sim will be able to write research papers on any computer about skills in which they're particularly experienced.

These sell for different prices , depending on the quality, but either way, completing one will net your Sim a few Simoleons automatically upon completion .

Helpful Traits, Aspirations, And Other Skills

With the ideal mood for building the Research & Debate skill in The Sims 4: Discover University is Focused , you may want to consider the Genius trait for your Sim.

These smartypants Sims will find themselves naturally feeling Focused throughout the day, which can help them more effectively build the Research & Debate skill.

Since you'll be dealing a lot with other Sims to put your skills to good use, the Outgoing trait can help offer additional mood boosts for the amount of socializing you'll be doing.

And when it comes to aspirations, you can double down on your Satisfaction Point earnings by pursuing the Academic aspiration , also introduced with Discover University.

As part of the aspiration , you'll need to reach Level Seven in the Research & Debate skill, among other things, so the most avid students ought to consider taking it on.

Law Career In Sims 4: It’s Time To Serve Justice!

If you have Sims 4: Discover University , this means your Sims have a unique opportunity to work as lawyers! Aspiring justice seekers can choose to become Private Attorneys or join the Judge branch. Naturally, the career heavily relies on research and debate skills, followed by charisma and logic . The Law Career is one of the semi-active, or hybrid careers, that allow you to choose whether you want to send your Sim off to work or make them complete work tasks at home. Now let’s see what to expect and how to make the most of it!

Ideal Traits And Mood

Being in the right mood can help Sims 4 lawyers make more progress. Sims learn research, debate, and logic skills faster when focused, while charisma is gained faster when they feel confident . Both boost skill gain by 20%, and these moods will help them meet skill promotion requirements faster.

Any Sim can thrive in the Law Career. However, those with Self-assured personality traits tend to feel confident more often, while those with Genius traits can get randomly focused, both of which are beneficial. Some lot traits can help boost skill gains too. For instance, Convivial supports learning charisma skills, while Science Lair helps with logic. Both will speed up learning by 50%.

What To Expect From This Career?

Law career 1

Get ready for full-time shifts , Monday to Friday , with some paid time off! Every day before work, the game will ask you if you want to send your Sim to work or make them work from home. If you decide to make them work from home, they will need to complete job tasks from the career menu, for which they’ll need a computer.

Get your Sim both a PC and a research machine , as they will need to use both for various law career interactions. The research machine is quite pricey, so you can use money cheats , or use one at the campus. To keep track of their daily tasks, just check the career panel in the bottom right corner of your screen. To get more info about each task and how to complete it, just hover over it!

Having a University degree can certainly help. Studying History focuses on building all three skills needed to excel in this career while studying Language and Literature requires Sims to nail charisma and research and debate skills. Completing these programs and getting a degree isn’t a necessity, but can help your Sim kickstart on higher levels and build skills early.

More on SNOOTYSIMS: If your Sim loves pranks and doesn’t mind breaking the law, they should definitely consider joining the criminal career branch !

Beginner Levels

Your Sim has a long way to go before they specialize in either of the two Law Career branches. Their daily task from levels 1 to 4 will be to file court documents on their PC under the career menu. At level 4, your Sim will need to do a test on their computer and pass the law exam . Once they get to level 5, things get a little more serious, and they will need to shift focus to offering legal representation , which can be found under law career interactions. By the end of this career stage, before they specialize, they will need to have level 7 of the Research and Debate skills and level 3 of both logic and charisma skills.

Judge Branch

Law career 2

Sims who end up in the Judge branch will need to work a little more on  logic skills . Their daily promotion task on all levels will be to  Make Rulings , which can be done on the computer. You will get mini cases to solve, and it’s up to you to plead the accused guilty or not guilty – after all, you are the judge! However, this is for fun only, and your answers won’t impact your career progress, which is kind of a bummer.

At level 9, your Sim will be a big enough expert to  Guest Speak  at the University, and this option can earn them some extra simoleons. You can do so directly at the University by visiting lecture halls, or you can look for this option on your phone once it’s unlocked.

Private Attorney Branch

Law career 3

If you care about the salary, you’ll be thrilled to join the Private Attorney branch, because this one pays double the salary in the Judge branch. The focus is on building charisma as a secondary skill and maxing out the research and debate skills as you go. If they choose this branch, your Sim will have to associate with other Sims, and have a daily task to ”Offer Legal Representation and Obtain New Clients”.

New clients are obtained by building friendships first, by using a special law career social. Your Sim can get turned down, though. To minimize the chance of being rejected by potential clients, make sure they feel confident before they offer their services. You will need to build a few connections along the way, so be patient. If you feel stuck at any point in your career journey, give the  career cheat  a go!

Wrapping It Up!

The Sims 4 law system gives you the power to choose what is ethical and what is not. Sims who join the Law Career specialize a bit later on their career path, and although the salary is better for Private Attorneys, there is not much difference in career rewards overall. Happy simming!

The Sims 4 Discover University: Research & Debate Skill Overview

11 12 19 7 32 41 PM

Presented by EA Game Changers

The Research & Debate skill is a new 10-level skill that comes with The Sims 4: Discover University . Sims will learn the power of persuasion and the importance of doing their research with this skill, which will come in handy for coursework, debates, and convincing other Sims to do various tasks.

Leveling up in this skill will help your Sims win debates, so Sims involved in UBrite’s Debate Guild organization will want to focus on building this skill. Any academically-inclined Sims will benefit from this skill, as it will allow them to finish homework and write term papers faster. Mischievous Sims may have an interest in building this skill in order to convince other Sims to do all kinds of tasks for them, from cleaning and cooking to doing their homework for them.

The Research & Debate Skill is built by researching topics on the research machine and practicing debates either at a debate podium or in the mirror. Researching the Secret Society and Urban Legends does not build the Research & Debate skill.
