Last page update: 21 October 2025Last mod update: 19 September 2025 Skills are complicated business, requiring hours upon hours of activities and work for Sims to increase them and eventually max them. Except when it isn't, because Skill Books exist, and there is suddenly a multitude of Sims becoming master chefs without having touched a stove once in their lives.

It's a binary option, a 50/50 chance. Aliens, of course, get to have the AlienPart type of offspring.

Last page update: 8 September 2025Last mod update: 16 January 2025 Though it is a fleeting state, the joys of Skeleton-hood are a tale of legend for Simkind, at least judging by the amount of ways in which Sims can temporarily turn themselves into Skeletons. It may not be permanent, normally, but that's a minor footnote compared to all the perks of being born to a literal Skeleton.
