Mechanical

Mechanical in The Sims
The Mechanical skill allows a Sim to repair things fastest, and without the risk of electrocuting themselves. If something is broken, your Sims can phone a repairman to fix it, but if you have a high Mechanical skill, you don't need to do that. To increase your Mechanical skill, have your Sim read mechanical books from the bookshelves. In Livin' Large, a Sim can use the woodworking table and make gnomes to increase their Mechanical skill. The higher their Mechanical skill, the higher the price the gnomes can be sold for.
