More realistic and affordable ways to learn the logic skill?

Fishing raise logic and meditating too if I remember correctly.... I never buy the chess table or scientific equipment and I raised logic on one of my Sims... most of it came from the books anyway.
I'd like a smaller and more normal microscope, I hate that monster when have now. I'd also like the ability to play logic games on the pc

Can we get a normal sized telescope and microscope at any point? Or an adult chemistry table for non-scientists?

It's just cumbersome to only have comically large variants of these objects because there's just not enough space in normal homes for them and they look out of place in so many builds.
Also, it's a bit weird to have a chess table in every household where logic is needed, so can we have computer chess back?

I know we can already read skill books for everything, but that's usually too slow compared to using a skill object/not as entertaining. And the chemical analyzer/chemistry lab are more career specific than something any ordinary person would have.

When I still played TS4 I was a little disappointed that chess was not part of the computer games. And the microscope... geez.

I Like the Big telescope for my science center, but a added small one would be cool for home use.

P.S. Thank you for all the knowledge about fishing, easel use, didn't know that.

Chess

I agree. A microscope the size of my entire kitchen? Really?

In Willow Springs park, there are about/at least 2 chessboards there, play there, gain logic and social at the same time, that is if you at least play with some other sim...then you don't need a chessboard in every house. Why?...why?...why would you buy a chessboard for every house?

Not literally every house, but most homes where I want my sims to gain logic quickly. Simply put, I don't always want to make my sims leave their lot just to build skills. I don't really go to parks unless my sims are having an event, like a date or a party, and I only send them to libraries for storytelling purposes. It's also not ideal for family play to have a single sim run off to the park to build logic while everyone else's needs are handled inefficiently at home (from a vanilla standpoint; I've modded this issue away).

Sometimes I just like playing them at home, and it's just weird that chess is only the time-efficient and space-efficient way they can increase logic, when a lot of people don't even own a full-sized chessboard table in real life.

Reading books for skill gains is very slow, not to mention that if you play on high free-will or with mods, sims will often cancel reading their books to go do something else.

@Sim2Spore - What mod do you use to deal with the inefficient handling of the needs of Sims at home? :open_mouth:

I love the idea @Duke_Darkwood suggested about keeping the big prints exclusive to the big telescope while providing our Sims with smaller telescopes.

I would also love to have these. Even just the playing chess and/or some other logic game on computer/phone/tablet would do.

I would be okay if we don't get smaller telescopes for home use if we could "link up" the computer to the observatory/telescope.

There really isn't many objects that can raise your Logic nicely and be fun at the same time. Like Chess is great and all, but apart from the huge "telescope" there should be a whole lot of other fun and useful things to do to increase Logic, I'm just not that good with ideas for it.
