Rocket science

Rocket Science is a skill in The Sims 4. It represents a Sim's ability to build and upgrade Rocket Ships, as well as perform better in space exploration. It can be raised through building and upgrading rockets, reading skill books and exploring space. The skill is tied with the Astronaut career track. Raising it to the max level provides the achievement: "It's Not Brain Surgery".

Description
When in space, various missions that are similar to chance cards from The Sims 2 and 3 will appear, and depending on choices you make and upgrades you own on your rocket you will get good outcomes, like getting collectible aliens, positive moodlets, or bad outcomes, like crashing your ship or getting negative moodlets!

There is no particular Aspiration for those that seek Rocket Science, but Curator can improve the chance of getting rare consumables.

Traits than can help are, as follows:
 * Genius: It awards a random Focused moodlet, which is helpful towards the Rocket Science skill.
 * Loves the Outdoors: Since most of the Rocket Science skill is gained outside, it can bring a hefty boost to your Focused with a +2 Happy moodlet.

Collectibles
You can collect 4 different kinds of Space Rocks and 10 aliens (5 Live, 5 Dead specimens)

Trivia

 * In The Sims 4: Get To Work, Sims can use to Rocket to travel to the hidden lot Sixam.
