How to build the Wellness skill
There are multiple ways for your Sim to build the Wellness skill. Some interactions are only unlocked when your Sim reaches a certain level.Buy the Zen Again Yoga Mat or The Perfect Yoga Mat from Build Mode. Using the yoga mat, Sims can Practice Yoga, Do a Yoga Routine, or practice specific poses.All yoga mats are inventoriable objects, so your Sim can add them to their Personal Inventory and use them in places other than their home Lot. Once your Sim reaches level 2 of this skill, they can lead or teach yoga using either the Serenity Now - Instructor’s Yoga Mat or the Stretch Away - Instructor’s Yoga Mat from Build Mode.
Buy The Instrospective Contemplation Stool or the Pillow for Deep Thoughts from Build Mode. Using a meditation stool, Sims can Meditate to build the Wellness skill. All meditation stools are inventoriable objects, so your Sim can add them to their Personal Inventory and use them in places other than their home Lot. At higher levels, your Sims can host and lead guided meditations too!
Another way to build the Wellness skill is by performing treatments on other Sims. These can be massages, pedicures, and manicures. The higher your Sim’s skill level, the more treatments they can offer. Sims can also earn money through these treatments.
