How Diving skill points scale by level
You start at level 1 after earning your first 100 skill points. Reaching level 2 takes a large jump, requiring 1,440 more points for a total of 1,540 points. Level 3 asks for another 2,160 points, bringing your total to 3,700.
The final levels require the most effort from your Sim. Moving from level 3 to level 4 takes 3,600 points, which is 7,300 total points. Level 5 asks for 5,280 points from level 4, meaning you need 12,580 total points to finish the skill.
Best emotions and boosts for faster leveling
Your Sim's mood changes how fast you earn Diving points. Being Energized gives a 1.4 multiplier to your skill gains, while Very Energized raises that multiplier to 1.6. Avoid practicing while Sad or Very Sad, because those moods lower your gain multiplier to 0.8 and 0.6.
You can combine moodlets and traits to multiply your speed even further. The Competitive trait gives a 1.5 multiplier, and the Athletic Pick Me Up moodlet gives a 2 multiplier. Moodlets like Dark Chicken, Dedication, Midnight Meal, and Perfected each multiply your gains by 1.5.
General skill boosts also work here and stack with other multipliers. The Snaggle Flustered boost multiplies skill gain by 4. Parental Guidance and Skilling on Up each give a 3 multiplier, while Athletic Brilliance adds a 1.3 multiplier.
Unlocks at higher levels and the Diving cheat
Each level after the first unlocks a specific new interaction. Level 2 unlocks the Lounger Jump, and level 3 unlocks the Front Pike Flip. You get the Reverse Pike Dive at level 4, and level 5 unlocks the Front Twister Flip.
