  • Inventions will always take three specific ideas to create, but some of them can be created using more than one set. Once an invention has been thought of it is never lost and can be built at any time from the 'make' section in the start menu, assuming enough materials are available. Several inventions are however considered missable, as they require specific scoops which can often only be taken at a single specific time in the game.
  • This skill benefits from the Eccentric trait. As an inventor, Sims can create either brilliant or destructive gadgets. There is a new junkyard lot where inventors can collect scrap using detonation packs. Inventive Sims can provide scrap as a medium for Sims developing their sculpting skill. There is a new inventions log that lists all the inventions a Sim has created and the travels they had in the time machine. Inventing will also increase Sim's handiness skill. Players can register as a self-employed inventor if they have at least a skill level in inventing.

abstract
  • This skill benefits from the Eccentric trait. As an inventor, Sims can create either brilliant or destructive gadgets. There is a new junkyard lot where inventors can collect scrap using detonation packs. Inventive Sims can provide scrap as a medium for Sims developing their sculpting skill. There is a new inventions log that lists all the inventions a Sim has created and the travels they had in the time machine. Inventing will also increase Sim's handiness skill. Players can register as a self-employed inventor if they have at least a skill level in inventing. Inventor Sims use the Scraptronicâ„¢ Workbench to build inventions. While inventing on the workbench, there is a chance that a Sim might accidentally electrocute themselves or cause an explosion that sets them on fire. In addition to working at the Scraptronicâ„¢ Workbench, Sims can also raise inventing skill by reading books and detonating objects. Before being able to create an invention at will, a Sim must use the Invent interaction and accidentally stumble upon making the object first. After that, they can reproduce the object at will so long as they have the required amount of scrap metal. Children can become inventors as well, although the option to use Detonation Packs will not be available to them until they become young adults.
