This Guide will teach you about the JockSocial Group in The Sims 3 University Life. You don't join the Jocks, you naturally gain influence with them as your Sim performs certain tasks. Everything you do on this list contributes a little more influence, while unlocking various benefits for being a Jock. Like the other two Social groups, if you reach level 8, you will unlock a social group trait slot for your Sim, allowing you to have an extra trait. With the academic trait slot for graduating University, you will have a total of seven traits on your Sim.
Jocks thrive on sports and parties. Their opportunities generally lie around gathering a lot of Sims and doing crazy things like Juice Keg Stands. One of the best ways to level this career is to Do Collegiate Sports at the stadium, where you can pick a sport to play. Each will raise your athletic skill and Jock social group standing simultaneously.
