Re: What are your top must have skills?

It is so interesting reading how different simmers prioritise different skills.  Cooking, gardening and handiness are always the basic three for my sims, then it depends on the storyline - painting and writing; logic and programming or archaeology are usually the next skillset developed usually leading to self-employed home careers.   Then my sims can concentrate on the special-interest or hobby skills - sciences; baking; mixology and juice fizz and nectar making; knitting and cross-stitch and the new gemology skill crafting lots of jewellery … each of these skills helping create multiple income streams and lots of gifts for family and friends.  Charisma and fitness seem to develop naturally as part of my sim’s lifestyle.
