What Is It?
The Seeker of Secrets aspiration is a Deviance-based path in The Sims 4, introduced during a limited-time event. This Sim wants to discover private information and use it however they see fit… ethically questionable, but undeniably fun!

Aspiration Milestones
Stage 1: Nosy Novice
| Task | Tips |
|---|---|
| Discover Secrets | Use the “Snoop for Secrets” interaction or rummage through mailboxes when no one is looking. |
| Snoop for Secrets | Use social interactions or check for options on mailboxes, desks, or private spaces. |
| Eavesdrop on a Sim | Click a nearby group conversation and select Eavesdrop. Mischief skill may help unlock this faster. |
Stage 2: Superior Pryer
| Task | Tips |
|---|---|
| Confront a Sim with a Secret | After discovering a secret, use the Confront social from the Mischief category. |
| Keep a Secret | After a secret is shared with your Sim, use the option to “Keep Secret” when interacting again. |
| Discover Secrets by Eavesdropping | Keep using the Eavesdrop interaction around other Sims. Some locations may trigger it more easily (e.g., bars, parties). |
Stage 3: Snooper Extraordinaire
| Task | Tips |
|---|---|
| Break into a Home | Click a locked door when a Sim isn’t home or try after achieving higher Mischief skill. Only works when no one is on the lot. |
| Find a Tiger Inspector Badge | This will likely be rewarded automatically after a successful break-in or secret uncover. If it’s bugged, check mailbox rummaging. |
| Blackmail a Sim | After you’ve found a particularly scandalous secret, click the Sim and choose Blackmail. Higher Friendship or Romance can affect success. |
Reward Trait: Pry of the Tiger
