How to unlock the Games within Games achievement in The Sims 4 - Definitive Guide

There are 10 levels in the gaming skill. Gaming can be done either in the sims free time or as part of a job. The Tech Guru career uses the gaming skill as a requirement but after reaching a certain level in gaming, you can live stream for money. The lot trait Fast Internet, will give sims a +50% skill gain boost.

To start this skill, either buy a computer or buy the skill books from a bookshelf. If the expansion City Living ends up being like the PC version, then there will be a gaming console item available that can get you the skill too.

The easiest way to get this is to game. Pair this up with the job and game as often as you can. Once you get to a high enough level, start livestreaming so you can earn some cash while working away on this skill.

if just looking for the achievement itself, the sims 4 community has families you can download from the gallery that already have maxed out video gaming skill (or just about to reach it), so that is the quickest option available

Any Sim can do this but pair the Sim accomplishing this with the Playful, Lazy, Gamer or Nerd Trait for maximum efficiency here. This is really just a grinder like all the other skills but the benefit here is gaming is fun so your Sim will never want to stop!

First Step: Buy a Desk, a very comfy chair, and a computer. Unbreakable is preferred but if not, get 2 at least so when one breaks you can swap seats and have another Sim repair that computer.

Tips I'd suggest
-Steel Bladder is a must to maximize time
-DO NOT HAVE THIS SIM WORK. Unlock other skill builders that benefit from jobs you want this Sim to not be a functional member of Sim Society
-Buy 3 Gaming Books from the shelf and have your sim read those as you go for maximum efficiency (DO NOT DO THIS IF YOUR SIM IS LAZY)
-Having a second sim that cooks and cleans will lower the time your Sim needs to be bothered
-Lone Wolf Trait will lower the need to be social
-Enable emotional auras on FOCUSED items and stack it on the desk or around
-Always play SIMS FOREVER to start until bigger games unlock. Sims will never ever want to stop playing this.
-A radio near the computers also seems to help prolong gaming time

A Computer is required for this. The Video Gaming Skill is required for Tech Guru Career (eSport Gamer Branch). To level it up, you need to do what you do best and just play video games all day! When at the computer, choose “Play” and then choose any game. You’ll notice that there is a progress bar around the action. Once you have completed this, your Sim will become burned out and you’ll need to wait a few before playing again (roughly about an hour in game time).

Your skill with increase faster if you have the “Focused” Moodlet active. It’s recommended that you paint a “Focused Painting” and hang it by the Computer. To create one, you will need a Chess Table and an Easel. “Play Chess” at the Chess Table to gain the Focused Moodlet. Once it’s active, you will have the option to “Paint a Mathematical Diagram”. Once it’s complete, open your Sim’s inventory, hover over the painting, and press to pick it up. Place it on the wall near the Computer.

When you click on the painting, you will have the option to “Turn on Emotional Aura”. This Aura will give you a permanent Focus Moodlet so long as you are close by. Make sure whenever you’re at the Computer, the aura is turned on.

While Focused, just keep playing Video Games and when you reach Level 10 (Max Level), the trophy will unlock.

If you are completing Aspirations for aspiration points, you want to work on Knowledge - Computer Whiz one while leveling up this skill.
