Workbenches were introduced into The Sims 2 in Open for Business, and build badge skill as a Sim creates objects while using them.

The original workbench was the Woodworking Table from The Sims: Livin' Large.

Flower Arranging Bench

Associated skill: Cleaning

Associated Badge: Flower Arranging

  • 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.

Robot Crafting Station

Associated skill: Mechanical

Associated Badge: Robotics

  • No Badge: Toy Robot (Raises Fun)
  • Bronze Badge: Cleanbot (cleans messes on the floor); Hydrobot (puts out fires; waters flowers)
  • Silver Badge: Sentrybot (zaps intruders); Munchiebot (fetches food)
  • 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.

Toy Making Bench

Associated skill: Creativity

Associated Badge: Toy Making

  • No Badge: Sir Bricks-A-Lot
  • Bronze Badge: Little Heroes Fire Truck and Clown-in-a-Box
  • Silver Badge: Brinks Kite and Twirl, Spin, and Wobble!

Failed toymaking attempts may end up creating "evil" versions of the Clown-in-a-Box, Brinks' Kite, and Water Wiggler.
