Many of the game mechanics of become a Paranormal Investigator.
Like any skill, the Medium skill requires a little bit of practice to level up. There are only 5 levels before players max it out, so it is not too difficult to master. Players who want to get the most out of the new pack and get their Sims started in the world of the supernatural will want to level up this new skill as soon as possible. While cheating is always an available option, there are other ways to quickly ascend through the levels and become a paranormal expert. Here's how to level up the Medium skill fast in The Sims 4: Paranormal Stuff.
How to Level Up the Medium Skill Fast in The Sims 4
First, Sims are going to need one of the new Séance Tables somewhere in their home to begin learning the Medium skill. This table looks a lot like a classic, round dining table, and, while it can be eaten on, it can do quite a bit more than that. Players can enter Build and Buy Mode and click Show Objects By Function, then Show All. Then, in the search box, select the Paranormal Stuff Pack. Players can either get the Séance Table set, neat animation that helps with immersion).
Players will need to have their Sim perform any of the interactions available when clicking on the Séance Table to start building the Medium skill. At first, there will only be three interactions, but, as the Sim improves, more options will become available. Any time a Sim is performing an action at the Séance Table, their skill will improve.
As with practicing any skill, Sims who are in a good mood or who have a Confident or Inspired buff can improve their Medium skills more quickly than usual. Players can place certain decorative objects in the room to help improve their Sim's mood, like the Good Mojo Macramé. Certain collectibles Sims find from digging, like Dolls or Crystals, can have an emotional aura toggled on to improve the Sim's mood when nearby. There are also some Rewards players can trade Satisfaction Points to obtain, including mood-boosting potions and Sacred Candles. Players can make their own Sacred Candles from Wraith Wax, which they will receive during some interactions with the friendlier ghosts.
If players have The Sims 4: Realm of Magic Game Pack installed, they can have their Sim become a spellcaster. Spellcasters will build the Medium skill significantly more quickly, as they already dabble in the occult.
In general, the higher the player's skill level as a Medium, the easier it becomes to improve their skill level. This is because some of the higher-level interactions, like Invoke The Dead or Ghastly Ritual, come with significant skill increases of 15-25% each time. However, these can also come with greater risk to the Sim, so players will want to be careful not to overuse them.
When the Sim reaches Level 5 of the Medium skill, they will be able to ask Guidry for a Paranormal Investigator License to begin the new Freelance career option. They can also summon spirits anywhere using Séance Circles. These Circles allow for all the same interactions as the Séance Table except the Group Séance interaction, and they let players call upon Bonehilda and Guidry any time they need help with more aggressive spirits.
If players really want to get started right away as a Paranormal Investigator, they can skip the skill-building and cheat instead. To max out the Medium skill, they can input the cheat code stats.set_skill_level Minor_Medium 5.
The Sims 4 is available for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
