[[File:Skill Mechanical.png|left]]The '''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 thea bookshelves[[bookshelf]].
 
==The Sims==
The Mechanicalmechanical 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]]. Having some degree of Mechanicalmechanical skill also reduces the risk of a Sim being [[Electrocution|electrocuted]] when changing light bulbs, however, having the maximum skill level (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 Mechanicalmechanical 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]].
 
To increase a Sim's Mechanicalmechanical skill, have them read mechanical books from the bookshelves. In ''[[The Sims: Livin' Large|Livin' Large]]'', using the '''[[KraftMaticwoodworking Woodworking Tabletable]]''' to make gnomes will increase a Sim's Mechanicalmechanical skill. Higher Mechanicalmechanical skill lets a Sim make gnomes faster, and increases the price each gnome can be sold for. In ''Makin' Magic'', a similar table, the '''Kraft-a-Gargoyle''' table is introduced, which also increases the Mechanicalmechanical skill. In ''Makin' Magic'', Sims can also increase Mechanicalmechanical skill by using the [[Spinningspinning Wheel|'''Prick-Me-Not Spinning Wheel'''wheel]].

==The Sims 2==
<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]] [[Talenttalent 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.
 
==The Sims 3==
The Mechanical skill was replaced by the [[Handiness]] skill in [[The Sims 3]].
