Fastest way to level up Media Production
Your Sim's emotion changes how fast you earn Media Production skill points. Being Very Inspired gives a 1.6 gain multiplier, and being Inspired gives a 1.4 multiplier. Even a Sad mood helps a little with a 1.2 multiplier.
Avoid practicing while your Sim is mad, because Angry drops your multiplier to 0.8. Very Angry lowers it to 0.6, and Enraged cuts it down to 0.4. Several active multipliers multiply together, so you can stack positive emotions with moodlets.
Moodlets like Artistic Endeavors give a 3 multiplier, while Creative Spark gives 2.5 and Fluttering Bliss gives 2. Creative Boost, Dedication, Loved by Sprites, and Fortune: You're a Creativity Wizard each give a 1.5 multiplier. General skill boosts also work, such as Snaggle Flustered with a 4 multiplier and Parental Guidance with a 3 multiplier.
