Skill: Difference between revisions

A few examples of Skillsskills that are needed in everyday life:

*When Sims knowwill howbe toless cooklikely theyto won'tset burnablaze their foodkitchen (or evenburn settheir thefood wholewhen kitchenthey onknow fire)how asto oftencook.

*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 Trashtrash Compactorcompactor 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.

*Skills can affect the job performance of a Sim, especiallyspecifically skills specific to that job.

*Sims with high Charisma tell better stories and Jokesjokes. andThey are also not too likely to be rejected for these interactions by other Sims they might want to make friends with.

*Sims will clean things in the household a littleslightly faster if they have gained enough cleaning skill. (althoughHowever, some thinkplayers report that it also depends on the neatness of eachthe Sim). {{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 orwrite 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.

*If a Sim has every skill maxed they will also begin a career half way into it. Also when they pick up a job at this stage the career reward usually becomes immediately available, enabling them to achieve all the rewards within a few days. {{vgversion|TS2}}
