If your Sim is pursuing a creative career, feeling Inspired and Very Inspired helps them get better results. For example, if your Sim is an author, feeling Inspired can help them write books faster.
But how do you make Sims feel Inspired? There are many ways to unlock this moodlet and we’ll list some of them below.
How do you make Sims Inspired?
Step 1: Get rid of negative emotions
Engage your Sims in fun activities to help them get rid of negative emotions. Make sure they’re happy. The Happy moodlet will boost the Inspired emotion. They go hand in hand.
Step 2: Take a Thoughtful Shower
Taking a Thoughtful Shower is the easiest way to make your Sim Inspired. Your Sim’s head will be full of ideas after a long shower. Always take a Thoughtful Shower before engaging in creative activities.
Step 3: Browse art on the Internet
Click on your Sim’s computer, select Web, and then click on Browse art. Browsing art on the Internet is a nice quick way to boost your Sim’s creativity.
They’ll instantly feel Inspired and eager to do new things.
Step 4: Use a Future Cube
Sims can ask the Cube for creative ideas. They’ll instantly feel Creatively Inspired. Your Sim can keep a Future Cube in their inventories if they want to always have one at hand.
Step 5: Play with Molding Clay
You can find Molding Clay under Kids’ toys. Adult Sims that play with clay will get the Inspired moodlet.
After a few seconds of playing with clay, your Sim’s mind will be full of creative ideas.
Step 6: Play an instrument
If your Sim can play an instrument, have them play the guitar, piano, or violin and they’ll feel Inspired for eight hours. Playing an instrument also helps Sims improve their skills in the instrument as well.
Practice makes perfect.
Plucking for Inspiration with an instrument is not the quickest method to get Inspired.
If you need to pull the mood quickly, go for a different method such as taking a Thoughtful Shower or browsing art on the computer.
Step 7: Try cloud gazing or star gazing
If you have Outdoor Retreat installed, cloud gazing and star gazing are two excellent ways to boost your Sim’s Inspiration level. The Inspired moodlet usually lasts for 6 hours. Telling a fairytale at the campfire can also make Sims feel Inspired.
Alternatively, if you don’t have this pack, you can use the pocket-size telescope to get into a Focused mood.
Step 8: Join a yoga class
If you have Spa Day installed, join a brain-boosting yoga session. You’ll get an extra inspiration boost when matching incense is burning. Ylang Ylang Massages can also help Sims feel more inspired.
Step 9: Drink Essence of Inspiration
If there’s a CowPlant on your lot, you’ll get an essence of whatever mood the Sim that got eaten was in at the time.
For example, if a Sim is feeling Inspired and gets eaten by a CowPlant, you can have the Essence of Inspiration. Drinking that essence will give you the Inspired moodlet.
