Everything your sim does in The Sims 2 will contribute to their well-being and growth. The biggest part of a sim’s development comes when they improve different skills. Every skill will contribute to how well sims perform different tasks, and mastery of a particular skill will ensure success in these activities.
When it comes to picking a skill to invest time in, the ones to prioritize would be the skills that can contribute to a sim’s growth in their career, studies, and aspirations. One skill that a sim can learn is the Body skill, which is all about fitness and is needed in several careers.
