Inventing

Inventing is a skill that will appear in the Ambitions expansion pack for The Sims 3.

This skill benefits from the Eccentric trait. As an inventor, Sims can create either brilliant or destructive gadgets. There is a new Junkyard lot where inventors can collect junk using detonation packs. Inventive Sims can provide junk as a medium for Sims developing their Sculpting skill. There is a new inventions log that list all the inventions a sim has created and the travels they had in the time machine. Inventing will also increase your handiness skill. There's another invention called the Eye Star that plants all fruits in your inventory with just one click. 

Inventions

 * Floor Hygienator (provides hygiene to Sims who walk over it)
 * Toys
 * Widgets
 * Personal drilling device
 * Time machine
 * Sim Bot (a new life state)

These inventions (and other things) can be used to complete opportunities or be sold via the consignment store for a handy profit.
