:Meditation is a skill that Sims from teens on up acquire if they have three or more [[Logic]] points and eight or less [[Personality#Qualities|Playful]]. (Note that if a Sim's Playful score is '''exactly''' 8.00, he or she will be able to meditate.) While a Sim meditates, their [[motives]] and [[aspiration bar]] do not decay, though hobby [[enthusiasm]] still does. That meditation "freezes" motive and aspiration decay makes it useful for "saving" a Platinum mood for later, such as for a promotion. It can also be useful for [[Illness#The Sims 2|sick]] Sims, [[Pregnancy|pregnant]] Sims, and Sims who wake up in the middle of the night. If a Sim meditates for a certain amount of time, they can learn to [[Teleportation#The Sims 2|teleport]]. Meditation takes halfabout a10 Sim hourminutes to begin and upabout to another half an15 hourminutes to stop. (ItMeditation takes less timelonger to stop if the Sim is not levitating.)

Originally, the skill went up to level 5, but with patch 42, it was changed to 2. This caused Sims who already surpasssurpassed level 2 to reset whenever they trytried to use the diving board in the pool. This glitch has beenwas fixed in [[The Sims 3/Patch 50|patch 50]].

:At level 2, Witches may cast the Fire Blast and the Ice Blast.

:Playing ice or roller skating increases the Skating hidden skill. As Sims advance this skill, the interactions to do tricks on a skating rink are unlocked. Sims also get better at skating with higher skill. This skill goes up to level 6, and children and older can learn this skill.
