Skill (The Sims Social)

Skills exist in all of The Sims games, including The Sims Social.

In The Sims Social, skill points (level) can be gained by completing tasks on a related item. While skills are capped at 10 levels and are generally harder in other Sims games, in The Sims Social they can reach 50 and are easier to do. They are also the primary means of income, generating more Simoleons if the sim is inspired.

Most skill levels can unlock a decorational item, functional item or skill item (to reach further levels). To perform a skill task, it consumes 1 energy. Some skill levels/tasks must be unlocked with various elements. Currently, there are 5 skills to develop:
