Mechanical
Sim fixing a TV in The Sims 2.
- For the similar skill in The Sims 3 and The Sims 4, see Handiness.
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.
The Sims[edit | edit source]
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. Having some degree of mechanical skill also reduces the risk of a Sim being 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 Makin' Magic, a Sim's mechanical skill affects the number of charges 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 mechanical skill, have them read mechanical books from the bookshelves. In Livin' Large, using the woodworking table to make gnomes will increase a Sim's mechanical skill. Higher mechanical 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 mechanical skill. In Makin' Magic, Sims can also increase mechanical skill by using the spinning wheel.
The Sims 2[edit | edit source]
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.
This skill is mainly useful for repairing things, but is also needed to advance in some careers and majors[TS2:U]. If The Sims 2: Open for Business is installed, it helps in building the Robotics and Toy Making talent badges. 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 TraumaTime "Incision Precision" Surgical Training Station. In 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 broken down car which builds Sims' mechanical skill while they repair it.
