How to Write a Bestseller Book for the Author Aspiration in The Sims 4

The main way to increase your chances of writing a Bestseller book in The Sims 4 is to increase your writing skill. As your Sim becomes better at writing, their chances of writing high-quality books also rise. In other words, level 10 writing gives you the highest odds of writing a bestseller, but you may create some before reaching this point.

While there are elements of luck involved in writing a Bestseller, there are methods to improving your chances further:

  • Starting with the Perfectionist hobby trait improves your odds of creating higher-quality items.
  • Buy the Creative Visionary trait from the Rewards Store for 2,000 points.
  • Be very inspired! Take thoughtful showers, browse art on your computer, and have inspiring decorations around your room to spark these moodlets. Having happy moodlets will also boost your inspired ones.

From this point onwards, it mainly falls to luck. Even with a level-ten writer and all this advice, you may still find yourself creating a bunch of excellent-quality books instead of bestsellers. Sometimes it takes dozens of books to get there, especially if your Sim juggles a job and takes care of their family. Just keep at it and stick with what your Sim is used to, and over time, they’ll start writing the occasional Bestseller.

The Sims 4 is available on PC, Mac, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 through the official website. If you’d like to learn more about the game, check out How to Appease Every Gnome During Harvestfest and How to Enter Cheat Codes in The Sims 4.
