Sculpting (skill)



Sculpting is a skill that will be introduced in the upcoming expansion pack The Sims 3: Ambitions.

This skill will benefit from the Savvy Sculptor trait.

Sculptors can sculpt with junk provided by Sims with the Inventing skill. They can use Sims as models. The can sculpt useful objects like chairs, or decorative objects like the 'silly dancing gator'. They can create breathtaking masterpieces which can then be sold for profit. Sculptors unlock new media as they progress: "Sims learn different media as they advance in the sculpting skill, and each one requires a bit of a learning curve. The topiary is a high-level sculpting medium, but that won't keep your sims from accidentally decapitating their leafy lawn ornaments from time to time." Ice sculptures will melt over time.

You can unlock new materials by increasing your skills. When sculptors create something they can make one or more at a time.
