Logic

Logic is a skill in The Sims series. It is a valuable skill for many careers and playing games like chess.

The Sims
Logic helps you advance in certain careers, and also to cast spells or perform other magical acts. In the original Sims, the only way of increasing a Sim's Logic bar was to play chess, but with Livin' Large, the chemistry set and telescope was added, which are other ways of increasing the Logic skill.

The Sims 2
In The Sims 2, Sims can gain Logic points by using the chess set, stargazing with or looking through a telescope, or using the SimSanto Inc. Biotech Station, which is the career reward for the Science track. Doing the crossword in the newspaper will also give a small amount of Logic. Logic also affects the odds of winning a chess game.

If University is installed, teenagers with a high Logic skill (level 8 or higher) qualify for the Will Wright Genius Grant, which is a §750 scholarship.

Once Open for Business is installed, Logic points increase the rate a Sim earns badges for being a Cashier and Restocking items.

Having high Logic makes it easier for them to maintain high enthusiasm for the Games hobby.

The Sims 3
The skill is augmented by the Computer Whiz and Genius traits.
