In the post 12 Features We Love In The Sims 4 Seasons, I talked about a new after-school activity for Child and Teen Sims. This is the new Scout activity added with the expansion. I’m sure many of you reading this have been a Scout, Girl Guide or something similar in your life so seeing this added into The Sims 4 brings back memories of collecting badges yourself but now without further ado let’s jump in and find out what it takes to become a Master Llamacorn Scout!
Enrolling Your Sims into Llamacorn Scouts
- To join an After School Activity just go to your child or teen Sims’ Smart Phone. Then Career/Household and then click Join After School Activity. Once your Sim starts to use the phone you will get a pop up asking which activity they would like to join.
- Once joining you will get a notification stating that your Sim has joined the Scout Career and you can keep track of your Sims progress under where you can track their school progress.
- Don’t forget to buy a Scout Board so your Sim can keep track of their badge progress!
- Make sure your Sims attend their Scout meetings, complete any daily and advancement tasks and also work towards getting their badges!
When clicking on the badge board you are presented with four options. View badge progress, collect badge, change into Scouting Uniform and put in inventory.
One thing to note is that Child Sims Scout Uniform consists of a baseball hat, neckerchief, short sleeve shirt and long shorts where as the Teen Sims Scout uniform is the same other than they have full length trousers and a more traditional Scouting hat.
Badges
There are a total of nine different badges your Sims can collect.
- Arts & Crafts – Make crafts, drawings or paintings.
- Civic Responsibility -Perform cleaning or repair actions.
- Give Back – Donate items for charity from the Mailbox and Computer or perform the friendly social to Give Gifts.
- Good Deeds – Entertain a toddler, make someone laugh, take out the trash or help someone with their homework.
- Keep Fit – Perform a dance or exercise activity/
- Outdoor Adventure – Perform outdoorsy activities like catching fish, finding frogs and grilling outdoors.
- Scholarly Aptitude -Perform studious activities like reading books or completing homework.
- Sociability – Perform friendly socials with another Sim.
- Young Scientist – Perform scientific activities like computer programming, using the microscope and telescope.
As you carry out the various tasks to complete each badge you’ll notice that little symbols which relate to the badge will appear briefly by your Sims head before disappearing. This is showing that the action your Sim is doing contributes to one of the badges.
Everytime you complete all of the tasks for a badge you will get a notification in the middle of the screen telling you that your Sim has completed a badge and for them to go to the Scout Board to collect their badge. Simply go to the board and select “collect badge” and go from there.
