All 7 main skills (Cooking, Cleaning, Mechanical, Logic, Creativity, Body, and Charisma) are covered by at least one object.

In The Sims 2, certain aspiration reward objects such as Smart Milk, the Thinking Cap, and the SimVac can also aid in the building of skills, as do the career reward objects which focus on one skill. In The Sims 2, The Sims 3 and The Sims 4, however, any age group from toddlers on up can gain at least some skills. In The Sims, only adults can earn skill points.

Skills are talents that Sims need in their everyday life and to advance in their working career.
