The Sims 4 DJ Mixing Skill Guide
Who wouldn’t want to be able to control a room with tunes? Your sims can with the sims 4 DJ mixing skill!
DJ Mixing comes to the game with The Sims 4: Get Together.
This skill lets your sims have a new, fun way to earn money through playing at bars and clubs that have a DJ booth!
What is DJ Mixing Good For?
DJ Mixing is a fun skill that sims can use as an outlet to show off their creative side.
They can also DJ in public or at parties in their homes and earn tips to make some side income or become a full time DJ who has a weird sleep schedule!
How to Gain The Sims 4 DJ Mixing Skill
The only way to gain the DJ Mixing skill is through spinning some sick beats! To do this you’ll need to buy a DJ booth from the build catalog for your home, you can find these in the electronics section. Once you own it, you can have your sim practice to start gaining the skill.
If you don’t want a giant DJ Booth in your sim’s home you can head to any of the club lots in Windenburg and hope there isn’t already someone DJing and you can practice there instead.
As you continue to gain the skill you’ll unlock new options like switching music genres and creating your own mixes, but at the beginning you’ll only be able to practice.
Ideal Mood for DJ Mixing
Since DJ Mixing is creative skill the ideal mood is inspired! Makes sense to me! This means that you’ll want to get your sims inspired before starting practicing so they can gain the skill slightly quicker.
An easy way to get inspired is to take a thoughtful shower. If you have The Sims 4: City Living you can add the sunny aspect lot trait to get more inspired moodlets too!
Best Traits for DJ Mixing
When you’re making a sim, think about their traits! Their traits have a huge impact on their mood and their skill gains. Some traits that are good for sims who want to be DJs are:
- Creative: Sims with this trait spend more time inspired than other sims
- Cheerful: This is just a great trait for all sims because they get more happy moodlets which can stack with inspired
- Muser: You get this trait if you choose a creative aspiration for your sims when they age up or in CAS, this gives your sims a boost to skills when they’re inspired
If you really want to maximize your sim’s experience you can add the great acoustics lot trait to your sim’s home. This gives a skill gain bonus to all music related skills!

The next option you have is get hyped which says “draw onlooking sims into the audience and get the crowd turned up” which is awesome.
This interaction will bring sims who are just hanging out at the venue and get them dancing to hangout with you and start vibing to your set.
