What are your top must have skills?
For me, its having at least 3 levels of Cooking (to avoid my sims from burning themselves to death at the stove) and handiness (to repair what breaks)

Top skill for all families with cats and dogs:
Veterinary
I'm a rotational player and as soon as I switch to a household with a cat/dog, it's sick -.-
And since we tell stories without mods, cc and poses they all have the:
Acting Skill
to add a little variety
We won't be without horses anymore, so the
Riding Skill
it is 🐎
And each of them has the
Handiness Skill
maxed for instant upgrades and to upgrade the neon signs so they don't break in the rain.
They are neon signs, made for the outdoors, why do they break in the rain? 😭
It's such a hassle.
And Photography 📸
Here Jack wrote that the Mosquito Trap reminds him of Saiwa because of their cute teeth ^^'

@LennyOggI didn't think of photography. It is a useful skill.
I have a sim in my game 'Fabian Fotograaf' with maxed skill who gets temporarily added to my sims household if I want a photograph of all the family.
That is a great and helpful idea to have a sim with maxed photography skill to add temporarily when wanting to take a picture of all the family @atreya33 🙂
I have one sim in my save who is photographer. has her own studio. 🙂
I add her in household every time I need portrait taken what needs bit more skills to be good 🙂 Or the opposite if I want their pic taken in "studio"😉
Just like @atreya33
I also use this mod, so my photographer is good painter too 🙂
We still have the Photo Shop in San Myshuno (I built it in 2015! And the screenshots are also taken at this time, I'm glad I improved hahaha)
Leandro was the owner but then he became the Zombie Detective and was busy elsewhere o.o
Here I made some photographer's stuff with baking trays and objects from the buydebug (we only had a few packs at this time ^^')
But I prefer at least one Sim in the household has maxed Photography Skill because we take so many photos.
That's easier than moving in and out Sims from other households. And the skill is maxed quickly because it only goes up to level 5.
Sometimes, when we want to take group photos, we grab a NPC and let them take 5x the same pic, so at least one is ok and if necessary, we copy it ^^'
These are photos taken by a NPC:
A decent level of cooking skill is definitely a must-have for at least one sim in every household I play.
Also some handiness, as things are always breaking.
And fitness tends to be a skill that most of my sims end up with. I like to do a lot of swimming and jogging and other sporty things with them, so they end up with a fair amount of fitness without really trying.
