@Aceeee82 Ah I see thanks for clarifying. I thought you meant the Research you do when you're actually gardening.
I'll test the other action too for my focused Sims as I hadn't tested that one.

    @simsplayer818 well the botanist aspiration has nothing to do with it. I have a sim with that aspiration but without any of the knowledge aspirations and she got only 4 hours. Ill have her complete some knowledge aspirations and test.

    @simsplayer818 it seems that browsing simpedia and viewing focused work also get the bonus.

    I also totally forgot about the perfectionist trait which grants 12 hours of +2 focused moodlet after creating a masterpiece.

    @Aceeee82 Yes I use the focused work to display around desks. The Mathematical diagrams are a good one for that. I get artist Sims to produce a few of those to sell in stores so other Sims can buy them. Same with the Space Prints, etc.

    @simsplayer818 I did it!
    Both my scientist and detective sims go to work with a +7 focused moodlet that lasts 6 hours, and get a raise every day!

    Unfortunately my doctor sim (who is a female - the others are males) gets the moodlets for only 4 hours.

    She completed all of the knowledge aspirations plus the freelance botanist.
    How the heck can I get her to have that bonus too? augh! so frustrating.

    @Aceeee82 Well done! I can picture your Sims now exhausted with ice packs on their heads after all that hard work!
    Sims with the new Practice Makes Perfect Trait from the Happy at Home login event also tend to be focused. I've been in build mode this week and the Science Lair lot trait also focuses Sims. If you have Snowy Escape and have Lifestyles there's the Workaholic lifestyle too, I had to toggle off Lifestyles as my Sims all became depressed. I must give it another try. There's also the City Living toilets with the holograph options, they cause Sims to be focused too after watching them.
