    My sim keeps getting tense because she needs mental stimulation. How do I do that?

      Playing chess, browsing the web, programming, using the microscope/observatory etc. are a few things you can have your sim do.

      Yes, focus is any mental activity. Get your genius into yoga and watch him/her rip through programming
      Awake.
      Shake dreams from your hair

      The genius trait is great for any scientific equipment if you have Get to Work. Also, gardening and fishing interestingly enough. Any reading tasks, chess playing has been mentioned, but also cards. And last, but not least, video gaming.

      The key is to get a focussed mind state before starting the activity. My personal favourite is pitch black tea to get the focussed moodlet. This not only makes the sim focussed, but also adds a good happy buff, add in listening to music while doing the activity for even more buffs and your genius will skill very fast indeed.

      Good for bursts. Yoga/massage if you want a really long lasting moodlet, if you have Spa Day that is.
