Next skill?

Dang--I didn't see blacksmith, or else I would've chosen that. Metallurgy and metalsmithing in general would be cool.

Auto repair and body work.

Swordplay.

I'm hoping for this.

Since I hope the next pack will have something to do with horses, a horse-riding skill would be in order, or maybe a bigger encompassing skill that also includes taking care of the horse.

Besides that, I would appreciate any of the activities listed in the poll (although not all of them require a separate skill in my opinion).

There should be an "all of the above" button because I'd gladly take all of these. But, that being said, I've wanted the pottery wheel from Sims 2 to return for ages now. Although honestly, adding more options under the umbrella of the "fabrication" skill from Eco Living would be a fine way to add things like pottery, toy making, jewelry making, glassblowing, metalsmithing, etc., without having to develop a separate skill for each. Or make a new skill and call it "artisanry" for something like that.

There is the idea that artisan crafting is usually hand made so you would expect to see a craft bench not some machinery. I suppose that could be done, but I think the fabricator object is too industrial looking and it does that silly animation where it will swallow your sim and cover them in paint way too often. It also doesn't help with story telling because visually, the fabricator looks like no real object and if you want to tell a story about a pottery artist, well you are stuck with the fabricator instead of the pottery wheel. There is no personal artistic skill involved in that because it's all machine made.

Yeah, I agree. I wasn't recommending an expanded use of the machine, just the skill name and levels. I would DEFINITELY want a real pottery wheel with animations, etc., back. But you're right, a separate skill would probably be in order.

I want sewing, pottery, and drums back too. And glassblowing would be awesome. I guess I could have picked "other". lol.
