If you’ve been playing later entries inThe Simsseries, then you’ll no doubt have seen how fully the assorted skills we’ve had throughout the years have blossomed! The earliest game only had a handful of skills to focus on, with fewer ways for your Sims to try honing them.

The Logic skill in the original Sims is fairly straightforward, seeing your Sim take part in activities that require more critical thinking than other tasks. While you’ll need the Logic skill for a few of the jobs you may get, any spellcaster Sims will definitely want to hone their craft.

Ways To Build Your Logic Skill

While later careers in The Sims became much more specialized, you’ll likely find thatyour Sim needs Logic for most careersin the original game. Each career will have a different skill it requires the most points in, but you may expect to need a high Logic skill for anybusiness or science career, with tracks like Law Enforcement, Medicine, and Military all requiring at least some Logic before too long.Creative careers need less Logic, but it’s not a bad idea to build the skill regardless.

There are a few ways to work on your Sims' Logic skills, especially withall the expansionsalso released in the Legacy Collection. The most common way to build the Logic skill was, and still tends to be even in later entries in the series,playing a game of Chesson any available table. Your Sims can play solo or with another player, and this will always provide a steady boost to Logic. In a similar vein, the Makin' Magic expansion also added a Checkers table, which functions much the same as the Chess tables.

Livin' Large added two additional waysto increase the Logic skill, thankfully, since Chess tables were your Logic bread and butter in the standard base game. In Livin' Large, you could also purchase anduse a Telescopeto view the cosmos. Not only does this help your Sim increase their Logic skill, but it’ll also provide them with a bit of fun in the process.

Looking into the telescope for too long may see your Sim getabducted by aliens, so don’t gaze for hours! They’ll come back a few hours after they’re taken with reshuffled personality traits.Their mood may also have changed.

But that’s not all Livin' Large gave us for Logic! The pack also came with the option tobrew potions at a Concoctanation Station, a science table you can place anywhere on your home lot to experiment with. While you can’t choose which potion is brewed at any given time, making them will always help with the Logic skill.Someone needs to drink the potion before you make another one; there’s no way to sell or throw away potions you don’t want to use.
