The Mechanical skill allows a Sim to repair broken appliances, electronics, sinks, tubs, toilets, and showers at a faster speed which may eliminate the need for a [[repairman]]. The skill also reduces the risk of electrocuting themselves when changing light bulbs, however, a maximum level Mechanical skill (10/10) does not eliminate the risk of getting electrocuted. Mechanical skill is also important in the promotion of the Sim's career, including (but not limited to), business, military, science, and law enforcement. In [[The Sims: Makin' Magic|Makin' Magic]], a Sim's Mechanical skill affects the number of charges [[magic charms|charms]] they make will have, and how many [[MagiCoins]] they'll get for performing on the wooden stage in [[Magic Town]].▼

[[File:Skill Mechanical.png|left]]'''Mechanical''' is a skill in ''[[The Sims]]'' and ''[[The Sims 2]]''. It allows a Sim to repair broken appliances, electronics, sinks, tubs, toilets, and showers at a faster speed which may eliminate the need for a [[repairman]]. The skill also reduces the risk of Sims electrocuting themselves when they try to repair electrical or electronic equipment. It can be increased by reading mechanical books from a [[bookshelf]].
To increase 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 faster they make gnomes and the higher the price each gnomes can be sold for. In Makin' Magic, a similar table, the Kraft-a-Gargoyle table is introduced, which also increases the Mechanical skill. In Makin' Magic, Sims can also increase Mechanical skill by using the Prick-Me-Not Spinning Wheel.▼

<blockquote class="note">Being handy around the house can save money in expensive repair costs and allow your Sim to advance in certain careers. Sims can improve this skill by studying do-it-yourself books from a bookshelf or by repairing broken items at home.</blockquote>
This skill is mainly useful for repairing things, but is also needed to advance in some [[careers]] and [[majors]]{{vgversion|TS2:U}}. If ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business]]'' is installed, it helps in building the [[Robotics]] and [[Toy Making]] [[talent badge]]s. A Sim's mechanical skill determines the chance of getting electrocuted when attempting to repair a broken electrical or electronic object. It can be studied from a book, or learned by repairing broken items or by using the [[Career rewards#TraumaTime "Incision Precision" Surgical Training Station|TraumaTime "Incision Precision" Surgical Training Station]]. In [[The Sims 2 (console)|console]] versions, mechanical skill may be gained from the "Jimmy three fingers" rocket bench.
If the ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime]]'' is installed, studying the mechanical skill from a book will increase a Sim's enthusiasm for the Tinkering hobby. There is also a [[One Man's Junk Car|broken down car]] which builds Sims' mechanical skill while they repair it.
