}}[[File:Skill Bar.png|left]]'''Skills''' are talents that [[Sim]]s need in their everyday life and to advance in their working [[career]].
 
In ''[[The Sims]]'', only [[adult]]s can earn skill points. In ''[[The Sims 2]]'' , ''[[The Sims 3]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4]]'', however, any age group from [[toddler]]s on up can gain at least some skills.
 
In ''The Sims 2'', certain [[Aspiration reward (The Sims 2)|aspiration reward objects]] such as Smart Milk, the Thinking Cap, and the SimVac can also aid in the building of skills, as do the [[career rewards|career reward objects]] which focus on one skill. All 7 main skills (Cooking, Cleaning, Mechanical, Logic, Creativity, Body, and Charisma) are covered by at least one object. If ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons|Seasons]]'' is installed, drinking [[Juices#The Sims 2|a veggie cocktail]] will aid in skill building, and drinking eggplant juice will give a random skill point. All skill building is also boosted during the fall season. If a Souvenir Rack has five Far East Souvenirs on it, all nearby sims will build skills faster.

Players do not see a 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 '{{key|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.

==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>
