'''Workbenches''' allow Sims to craft items which they may be able to sell or use.
==The Sims: Livin' Large==
''[[The Sims: Livin' Large]]'' introduced the [[KraftMatic Woodworking Table]], which could be used to make [[Garden gnome|gnomes]]. This workbench reappeared in ''[[The Sims: Makin' Magic]]'', where it was accompanied by the [[Craft-A-Gargoyle]] workbench. Both of these items build a Sim's [[Mechanical]] skill.
A gnome can be made every 25 minutes, not counting the time required to put the gnome down and walk back to the workbench to start work on a new one (which brings the time per gnome closer to 30 minutes). At §100 per gnome, this pays more than any of the game's 20 career tracks, with much more flexible hours, no need to make friends, no possibility of getting fired, and no need for any job skills other than Mechanical. In short, it makes career tracks utterly obsolete.
==The Sims 2==
Workbenches were reintroduced in ''[[The Sims 2]]'' in ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business|Open for Business]]'' and ''[[The Sims 2: FreeTime|FreeTime]]'', where they build [[Talent badge|badge skill]] as a Sim creates objects while using them. They allow a Sim to either make a single item, which is usually left on the bench after being finished, or many items, which will be placed in the Sim's [[inventory]]. When a Sim starts to craft items on a workbench, a dialog will appear with a default name and description, as well as an "Accept" and "Cancel" button. The player is able to edit the name, and may be able to edit the description. Items made on workbenches can be marked for sale a Sim-owned [[business]]. When they are, their "wholesale price" is considered to be the price they can be sold for after being finished, not the amount paid to make them. If a workbench is in a Sim-owned business, a [[employee]] can be assigned to make items on it; these items will appear in the owner's inventory.
