In ''[[The Sims]]'', only [[adult]]s can earn skill points. In ''[[The Sims 2]]'', ''[[The Sims 3]]'' and ''[[The Sims

In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', skills have been expanded, and something roughly similar to the [[talent badge]]s from ''The Sims 2'' has been worked into the skill system. Skills still have 10 levels of proficiency. Sims who have maxed out any skill receive a certificate which can be sold for §1,000 (price
In ''[[The Sims 4]]'', skills work similarly as they do in ''The Sims 3''. Skills usually have the max level of 10, and unlike previous games, there is no "level zero" with skills. Instead, Sims will immediately start at level 1. After a Sim has started learning new skills, the information regarding those skills along with the statistics will be stored in the skills panel. As in ''The Sims 3'', Sims can learn skills on any types of lots such as community lots, if the required conditions is met. Toddlers and children also have their own unique set of skills that are not available to teens and older. If a toddler has mastered all of their skills, the Sim will gain a special reward trait after aging up. If a child has mastered their skills, they can start learning normal adult skills, which will be transferred after aging up into a teen.

In ''The Sims 2'', Sims of any age and aspiration may roll wants to gain a skill point or to gain a point in a specific skill. These wants are more common for [[Knowledge]] Sims, and Knowledge Sims may also have wants to increase a specific skill to a certain level, to maximize a specific skill, and to maximize all skills. These wants have higher values, and are also [[

▲In ''The Sims 2'', Sims of any age and aspiration may roll wants to gain a skill point or to gain a point in a specific skill. These wants are more common for [[Knowledge]] Sims, and Knowledge Sims may also have wants to increase a specific skill to a certain level, to maximize a specific skill, and to maximize all skills. These wants have higher values, and are also [[Influence]] wants. Also, [[Fortune]] and [[Family (aspiration)|Family]] Sims have a somewhat higher chance of rolling skill-related wants. Fortune Sims will frequently want to gain skills needed for promotion, while Family Sims will often want to gain [[cooking]] and [[cleaning]] skill.
▲''[[FreeTime]]'' changes this somewhat, in that Sims who do not have Knowledge as a primary or secondary aspiration may have wants to increase a specific skill to a certain level. Sims with hobby enthusiasm may have wants to increase skills related to their hobbies.
In ''The Sims 3'', Sims above the toddler age may also wish to gain a particular skill point or to increase their skill in a particular area. These wants are influenced by a Sim's traits or lifetime wish (artistic Sims will want to gain points in the painting skill, Sims who wish to be monster makers will want to gain points in the inventing skill).

Various [[challenge]]s are also available in the skill journal. For example, in the
▲Players do not see the skill in the Sim panel until the first point is unlocked, then they can view the skill journal. Each skill has a tab in the skill journal detailing the level of the skill, statistics, what the challenges are, and sometimes other special information. For example, the athletic skill journal shows the statistics: hours of cardio workout, hours of strength workout, distance jogged. The skill journal is viewed by pressing the 'J' key in-game or selecting the skills tab and clicking the small document that appears at the end of the skill bar after unlocking the first point.
▲Various [[challenge]]s are also available in the skill journal. For example, in the Painting skill journal, a challenge to paint thirty paintings is available. When completed, the Sim earns a reward of being able to paint significantly faster than normal Sims.
There are multiple skill challenges for each and every skill, as well as [[Collecting (The Sims 3)|collections]]. All of them earn some kind of benefit, such as quicker completion, better results, etc.

==Trivia==
* In ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life]]'', there's a glitch where learning [[Life skills#Physiology|Physiology]] would often cause Sims to be able to learn skills extremely fast.
* In ''[[The Sims 4]]'', Reaping was a semi-visible skill that was present at the game's launch, but was removed in an unknown patch. It went up to level 10, and it was maxed out in every generated [[Grim Reaper]]. It had no known purpose.<ref name="Reaping skill">https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/781642/so-looks-like-we-have-a-hidden-reaping-skill</ref><ref name="Reaping skill removed">https://www.reddit.com/r/thesims/comments/53tiw0/sims_4_reaping_skill_gone/</ref>
