Skill in The Sims Social
In The Sims Social, skill points (level) can be gained by completing tasks on a related item. Each item needs a few energy to be maxed out. While skills are capped at 10 levels and are generally harder in other Sims games, in The Sims Social they can reach more than it and easier to do.
They are also the primary means of income, and will generate more Simoleons if the Sim is inspired, or with special trait.
Skill items can be bought in the shop. Some skill items can unlock decorational item, functional item or another skill item by reaching the furthest levels. To perform a skill task, it consumes 1 energy. Some skill levels/tasks must be unlocked with various elements from game. Skill also used for promotions in Careers.
Skills level can be maintained from Skills menu on left corner of the game, under your Sim avatar. It contains total levels that you gained already from each skill.
