In the Sims 3 series, players can learn a variety of skills, and their number grows with each expansion. Skills are divided into open and hidden, not displayed in the corresponding tab.

Instructions
Step 1
Learning starts from infancy, as every toddler must be able to potty, walk and talk. In addition, caring parents can buy educational toys and books. By playing the xylophone, completing the puzzle, building a tower of cubes, the kid learns hidden skills that will reveal themselves in the future when he wants to learn music, logic or technology. Books, in turn, develop logic, writing, and artistic skills.
Step 2
You can upgrade your skills in different ways. The most versatile is reading books. To do this, send your Sim to the City Library or shop at the Bookstore. Reading in the library speeds up learning by 15%, and you can find almost all study materials there for free.
Step 3
While there are many skill books written in the world of the Sims, not everything can be learned by consuming typed text. For example, you will have to practice painting, musical instruments, photography, horse riding, sports, martial arts. Therefore, in the shopping mode, special items are provided for obtaining skills. You can find them by clicking on the rugby ball icon and then selecting the tab of interest: sports, training or party supplies.
Step 4
Another way to find out what an item is for is to look at its description. Starting with the first series of The Sims games, the developers indicate the game parameters of all products from the shopping mode: a chess table is used for entertainment and development of logic skills, an easel is used to draw your own masterpieces, balls, a horizontal bar and simulators are used to increase athletic abilities.
Step 5
The city also provides opportunities for skill development. For example, some things can be learned by attending a paid class in a building. If your dream is to create an athlete, send them to your local fitness center. The spirit of sports literally hovers here, which will help to pump muscles and lose weight much faster.
Step 6
Sometimes a character who is keen on some craft gets a random task: deliver food or vegetables, unclog the sewer, teach a lesson at school, attend a master class in a bookstore. It can be rewarded with a small amount of money, improved relations with townspeople, or a skill point.
Step 7
How to teach a character skills depends on his character. It is easier for bookworms to overlap with literature, lazy people - to watch a program on TV, computer scientists learn the subtleties of logical thinking faster if they play chess with a virtual partner. In addition, character traits can speed up or slow down the process of gaining a skill. Virtuosos, natural-born artists, cooks, gardeners, mechanics are pumped in the right direction faster than ordinary sims, and lazy people hate sports.
