The Sims 4
In The Sims 4, charisma is heavily used to advance in social interactions. The higher a Sim's charisma, the better they become at socializing and at gaining more friends faster. Having a high charisma also boosts the success rate of mischievous, romantic and funny interactions, making the skill helpful for the comedy and mischief skills. Charisma is heavily essential to gain promotions in many of the careers.

Learning
Charisma will always be learned by Sims through social interactions, no matter the circumstance. Charisma is also mainly built by practicing speeches on the mirror and by reading charisma skill books. Sims who are confident will built charisma faster, as the emotion boosts the success rate of interactions. Self-assured Sims become confident more often than other Sims, making the trait to be the perfect match for leveling charisma. Immediately at level one, the success rate of jokes will raise and Sims are able to learn traits of other Sims faster.
New social interactions
Gaining the charisma skill opens up many forms of new interactions for Sims to use, that usually help achieving friendships easier. Along with these interactions are brand new forms of introductions. At level four Sims gain the cheerful introduction, that provides a slight boost to the relationship meter, while the flirty and enchanting introductions gained at level five and eight respectively, will immediately apply romantic relationship points.
The "Brighten Day" and "Flatter" interactions can be used as a good starting point for a relationship, as they offer a great relationship boost. At level four Sims will gain the "Smooth Apology" interaction, which allows them to turn around an awkward or an upsetting conversation, making it a helpful and essential interaction for slight mishaps in conversations. The "Sweet Talk" romantic interaction gained at level six raises both friendly and romantic relationships.
At level seven Sims will gain opportunities to ask for loans from other Sims. They can ask for for either a §500 or §2,000 loan and don't need to be paid back, though Sims can do so if they want to. Paying back a loan will raise the relationship. Sims will usually agree to small loans, but will most of the time reject large loans if the relationship isn't high enough. If a loan is accepted, the game will start keeping track of how much is owed to that particular Sim. Sims can only give a small loan and a big loan once at a time.
Donating to charities
Sims who have gained few levels of charisma can donate either §10, §100, or §1,000 to one of several charities on the computer. Donating to a charity will give Sims a happy moodlet, with the happiness boost depending on the amount of money donated. Good Sims will also get an extra "Did Good" moodlet from making a donation. Sims can only donate once per day.
