The Mechanical skill allows a Sim to repair broken appliances, electronics, sinks, tubs, toilets, and showers at a faster speed which may eliminate the need for a [[repairman]]. The skill also reduces the risk of electrocuting themselves when changing light bulbs, however, a maximum level Mechanical skill (10/10) does not eliminate the risk of getting electrocuted. Mechanical skill is also important in the promotion of the Sim's career, including (but not limited to), business, military, science, and law enforcement.

A Sim's mechanical skill determines the chance of getting electrocuted when attempting to repair a broken electrical or electronic object. It can be studied from a book, or learned by repairing broken items or by using the [[TraumaTime "Incision Precision" Surgical Training Station]]. In [[The Sims 2 (console)|console]] versions, mechanical skill may be gained from the "Jimmy three fingers" rocket bench.
