Many careers in The Sims 4 require the player to take certain actions for promotions. Here's how to study opponents for the Pro Athlete career.

There are dozens of career paths in The Sims 4, and many require the player to take certain actions if they want their Sim to get promoted. For example, in the Athlete career track, Sims are required to study opponents to get an edge on them if they want to go down the Professional Athlete route.

Studying opponents is a daily task that must be completed in the game to help the Sim progress towards a promotion in the Pro Athlete career path. There are various ways Sims can complete this task, so players can choose whichever method that is easiest. Alternatively, they can alter between the two depending on the situation.

Beginning a career on the Athlete track in Sims 4 is very simple. To start, Sims can use their phones to look for a job, after which the player will be given a list of jobs they can choose from. From there, players can select the Athlete profession. Once players reach Career Level 5, they will be able to choose between the Bodybuilding track or Professional Athlete track. Studying opponents is a necessary action in the Professional Athlete track.

How to Study Opponents for the Pro Athlete Career in Sims 4

Athletes in the Sims 4 need to study their athletic opponents to get an edge over them in games. To do so, they can use either the TV or Computer. Being Energized is the best move for this action, as it gives the Sim reduced energy decay if they intend to multitask while studying opponents.

To study opponents with the TV in Sims 4, players need to select any TV and click the “Study Opponents” button. After this, players need to wait until the action completes to finish the task, which takes about two in-game hours. Sims can do other tasks while watching TV, so players may want to put their Sims on a treadmill or other exercise device to help their Sim complete multiple career requirements at once.

To study opponents on a Computer, players need to turn their Computers on and select the “Web” option. From there, players can click on the “Study Opponents” button. This action will also take two in-game hours, however, Sims can’t multitask while using the computer, so players can choose which method is best for their Sim.

Completing this task is an essential part of helping Sims level up their Athlete career path. By completing these requirements, Sims will get promoted faster, with the eventual goal of reaching Career Level 10, which grants the player 333 Simoleons per hour. Additionally, by understanding how to complete this career requirement, players can easily climb through the Pro career rank.
