You can help The Sims Wiki by adding it.
Workbenches allow Sims to craft items which they may be able to sell or use. The original workbench was the KraftMatic Woodworking Table from The Sims: Livin' Large. Workbenches were reintroduced in The Sims 2 in Open for Business and FreeTime, where they build badge skill as a Sim creates objects while using them.
A workbench also appears in The Sims 3 when Ambitions is installed. It is used to 'invent' objects, while also improving a Sim's Handiness and Inventing skills.
The Sims
The Sims: Livin' Large introduced the KraftMatic Woodworking Table, which could be used to make 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.
The Sims 2: Open for Business
"That Smells Great!" Floral Workstation
Associated skill: Cleaning
Associated Badge: Flower Arranging
Cost: §1000
- No Badge: Bouquet of Daisies (Decorative Item)
- Bronze Badge: Wildflower Bouquet, Tulip Bouquet (Decorative items)
- Silver Badge: Rose Bouquet, Mixed Flower Bouquet (Decorative items)
- Gold Badge: Snapdragon Bouquet (Raises motives when successfully made)
Success or failure in flower arranging depends most on the aspiration of the Sim doing the flower arranging. A Sim in platinum almost never creates "Evil" snapdragons, while a Sim in deep red aspiration can create them up to a third of the time.
If FreeTime is installed, crafting at this workbench builds enthusiasm for the Arts and Crafts hobby.

- Gold Badge: Create a Servo (robotic Sim)
Sims with lower Mechanical skill are more likely to create robots that start out non-functional. These can be repaired (place them on the floor to see the option) to restore their full value and make them operational.
If FreeTime is installed, crafting at this workbench builds enthusiasm for the Tinkering hobby.

Description: They don't build workbenches like they used to but Scraptronic's patented automatic scrap refill system makes this inventor's workbench almost as good as Grandpa's old garage table. A broad and sturdy table provides plenty of room for creations of any size and the tackboard will hold all your tools, greasers, nuts and bolts.
