by

In The Sims 3, jogging is a fantastic way for your Sim to stay fit, fulfill athletic aspirations, and enjoy the neighborhood scenery. Whether you’re aiming to complete athletic challenges or simply want your Sim to break a sweat, here’s how to get started.

Requirements to Unlock Jogging

Before your Sim can jog, ensure the following:

  • Athletic Skill Level: Reach at least Level 1 in the Athletic skill.
  • Age: Your Sim must be a teen or older.
  • Species Restrictions: Note that mummies cannot jog, regardless of their athletic skill level.

How to Start Jogging in The Sims 3

Once your Sim meets the requirements:

  1. Click on the Ground: Select a spot in the neighborhood.
  2. Choose “Jog Here”: This option becomes available once your Sim has the necessary athletic skill.
  3. Select Jogging Style: Depending on your Sim’s athletic level, you can choose from various workout styles:
    • Don’t Break a Sweat: Available at Level 1; prevents hygiene loss.
    • Good Pace: Available at Level 3; allows longer workouts before fatigue.
    • Push Self: Available at Level 5; more intense workouts with faster skill gains.
    • Quick Burst: Available at Level 7; rapid workouts with quick fatigue.

Benefits of Jogging

  • Skill Advancement: Jogging contributes to the Athletic skill, aiding in faster progression.
  • Mood Enhancement: Achieving the “Pumped” moodlet boosts your Sim’s mood.
  • Challenge Completion: Jogging helps fulfill the “Marathon Runner” challenge, requiring your Sim to run 500 kilometers, which can extend their lifespan.

Enhancing The Sims 3 Jogging Experience

  • Set Jogging Tracks: Use the “Jogging Track Marker” mod to create custom jogging routes on your lot.
  • Autonomous Jogging: With the NRaas Retuner mod, configure Sims to jog autonomously, ensuring they stay active without manual prompts.
