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. In Makin' Magic, a similar table, the Kraft-a-Gargoyle table is introduced, which also increases the Mechanical skill.
