Tinkering

Tinkering with electronics and mechanical items is some Sims' favorite pastime. They love upgrading their electronic items, playing with train tables and even restoring vintage cars. Sims with high mechanical skill will be more into tinkering.

Tinkering is one of the many Hobbies included in the FreeTime expansion for The Sims 2. High Tinkering enthusiasm allows a Sim access to the Will's Garage secret lot.

Many objects such as the bath, dishwasher and workout machine now have the "tinkering" option, which allows your Sims to pull out a spanner and have a play!
