Sculpting (skill)
Sculpting is a skill that will be introduced in the upcoming expansion pack The Sims 3: Ambitions.[1]
This skill will benefit from the Savvy Sculptor trait.
Sculptors can sculpt with junk provided by Sims with the Inventing skill.[2] They can use Sims as models. Using the Pedestrian Sculpting Station[3], Sculptors can sculpt useful objects like chairs, or decorative objects like the 'silly dancing gator'.[2] They can create breathtaking masterpieces which can then be sold for profit. Sculptors unlock new media as they progress: "Sims learn different media as they advance in the sculpting skill, and each one requires a bit of a learning curve. The topiary is a high-level sculpting medium, but that won't keep your sims from accidentally decapitating their leafy lawn ornaments from time to time."[2] Ice sculptures will melt over time, unless the character has completed the Ice Personality challenge.[2]
You can unlock new materials by increasing your skills. When sculptors create something they can make one or more at a time. [1]

Trivia
- There are already decorative plant objects in the The Sims 3 which claim to be topiary.
