If you’ve always wanted to become an influencer in real life but you’re not ready for that much exposure, you can fulfill your dream in The Sims 4.
The Sims 4 High School Years expansion pack added two new careers to the game, namely the Video Game Streamer career and the Simfluencer career.
Wanna know what it takes to become a popular Simfluencer in The Sims 4?
Let’s dive in!
How does the Simfluencer career work in Sims 4?
To become a successful Simfluencer in The Sims 4, have your Sim upload five lifestyle product reviews or more, and focus on leveling up their Charisma and Entrepreneur skill.
You also need to be very active on Social Bunny and Trendi to grow your followership.
To acquire the Entrepreneur skill as a Simfluencer, you need to review lifestyle products. You can start with a chess board or easel. Click on the item you want to review and select Make Lifestyle Review.
Then, go to your Sim’s inventory, and select Upload Review File.
The quickest way to level up your Charisma skill is to Practice Speech in the mirror.
Having lots of friends and being a social butterfly can boost your Simfluencer career.
Attend as many events as you can to gather enough material for social media posts. Go to the prom, go to the after-prom party, and get social.
After having attended various events, click on your Phone, select Social Bunny and click on Post.
Simfluencer career levels
There are three levels to the Simfluencer career in The Sims 4:
- Nano-Simfluencer
- Macro-Simfluencer
- Mega-Simfluencer
Nano-Simfluencer
To level up your Nano-Simfluencer career and become a Macro-Simfluencer, you need to reach Level 2 of the Entrepreneur Skill, and Level 2 of the Charisma Skill.

To level up your Macro-Simfluencer career and become a Mega-Simfluencer, you need to reach Level 4 of the Entrepreneur Skill, and Level 4 of the Charisma Skill.

Daily tasks as a Simfluencer
As a Simfluencer, your Sim needs to complete the following daily tasks:
- Talk to a friend about the Simfluencer side hustle
- Update your online bio with a business headshot
- Craft a business plan
- Review lifestyle products
- Upload your review files
- Cross promote at non-residential venues
- Contact angel investors and get extra funding
How to cross-promote at venues in Sims 4
To complete the task that requires you to cross-promote at venues in The Sims 4, travel to a non-residential location. Click on the Phone, go to Business, and select Cross Promote at Venue.
I must admit it took me a while until I figured out I needed to use the phone to complete this task.
If you’re struggling to tick this task off your list, use this quick tip to get the job done.
Don’t forget to post on social media regularly. You can also get more followers by designing outfits and selling them on Trendi.
Schedule and working hours
Simfluencers work a couple of hours every day either in the morning or in the evening. You can work to grow your followership from 5:30 AM until 7:30 AM or from 9 PM to 11 PM.
If you also want to get good grades and be successful academically, the best approach is to go for the evening schedule.
In this manner, your Sim can take a quick shower in the morning, eat breakfast, and get ready for school.
If you choose to take care of your Simfluencer tasks in the morning, your Sim’s schedule might get too overwhelming. They need to be at Copperdale High by 8 AM.
Drop out or get expelled to focus on your Simfluencer career
Honestly speaking, your Simfluencer Sim doesn’t need to perform well academically. They can earn a ton of money growing their followership.
Your Sim can drop out of high school to focus on their Simfluencer career. Instead of attending classes and doing homework, they can visit the ThriftTea thrift shop, create amazing outfits, and sell them on Trendi.
Getting expelled from high school can be a blessing in disguise for your Simfluencer Sim. They’ll have plenty of free time on their hands to focus on their career.
