Line 21:
A few examples of skills that are needed in everyday life:
 
*Sims will be less likely to set ablaze their kitchen or burn their food when they know how to cook.
 
*If a Sim is experienced in the Mechanical skill, they can repair broken things in the household faster and the chance of electrocution while repairing objects (e.g. a trash compactor or TV) decreases significantly. This is particularly useful in ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims 3'', since it can mean not having to wait for the [[repairman]] to come.
Line 30:
*Sims will clean things in the household slightly faster if they have gained enough cleaning skill. However, some players report that it also depends on the neatness of the Sim. {{confirm}}
 
*The Body skill of a Sim is built by using treadmills, weights, or swimming. When Sims are fat or skinny, they can train and not only get thin, but also stronger. When two Sims fight with each other, it is said that the Sim with the higher Body skill is more likely to win the fight. This skill is built faster by more active sims, and it is by some said fatter (less muscular) sims gain this skill slower, and medium gain it normaly, and muscular get it fastest. {{confirm}}
 
*The creativity skill, when high enough, will lead to Sims who create masterpieces on the easel which that sell for a lot of money (in ''The Sims 3'', up to several thousand [[simoleon]]s for master painters). Alternatively, creative Sims can also write novels (in ''Sims 3,'' a masterpiece by a truly talented and experienced writer can fetch over 10,000 per royalty payment, which adds up to over 70,000 Simoleons). Sims with high music skill can earn tips when they play an instrument in front of an audience; in ''Sims 3'', a virtuoso with maxed out guitar skill can make a couple of thousand Simoleons per session.
