Am I the only one missing the cleaning skill? We had it in TS2, not sure about TS3. It felt right that some sims were better than others at cleaning (doing it faster), even if not having the Neat trait. I mean, all those sims not having a Neat trait can't be equally bad at cleaning anyway?Cleaning might sound like a boring chore, but our sims do it all the time, and for stay at home sims it would be good building some skills like this. I think Cleaning pairs fine with Cooking and Parenting.

Oh, I miss it too! Especially every time I see how long it takes sims to clean up some of the messes, and I wish they could learn to do that faster without me having to buy them a reward trait or making them neat - because neat sims are a nightmare, constantly complaining about dirt that isn't even there! It wouldn't have to be a full 10-level skill either, 5 would be enough, and it could be a promotion requirement for some of the careers as well, such as gastronomy and the ones from GTW.

Besides, it would be more interesting to clean if I knew my sim was building a skill by doing it, LOL. I hate cleaning in RL, but I like my sims to do everyday chores like that. I even wish they would need to make their bed, mostly because a not-made bed would tell something about the sim living there, it's a visual aspect that I appreciated in TS3. And I'm pretty sure making a bed did add to the cleaning skill.

It would certainly go hand in hand with other existing aspects in the game. It would pair pretty well with the laundry pack for instance. Having it contribute to certain careers would also be a nice touch that makes sense.

I kinda miss it too. I remember the sims got skills in pretty much everything at one point in TS2.

I was very surprised that there was no cleaning skill, and constantly miss it! I don't know if it was in Sims 3 either, but it was in the first two! I'd love to see it make a comeback.

As far as I know that with cleaning skill in TS2 - it did had the option of "lick clean" plate but it didn't make the sims to clean faster or fail to clean. So i don't really miss the cleaning skill as it doesn't seem to have lot of features in TS2.

If there is more features or more options with the cleaning skill then maybe... maybe I will interested!

The neat trait is so useless in TS4 but I still use it?. I normally break down and get the speedy cleaning reward but I do wish there was a skill to it especially since it applies in retail stores and restaurants.

Not to spam but I just thought of this. It would be kind of cool if it was a skill specific to kids and as they grow up the things they clean stay cleaner longer and maybe their beds would sparkle when it's automade but if they don't have a high skill they will grow up their cleaning would only stay thay way for maybe a sim day andtheir bed would maybe be lumpy when it's automade. Little stuff likethat would really bring out more personality for the sims and it would be gameplay based.
