What skills do you have?
« on: May 04, 2011, 04:33:56 PM »
Simple. What skills do you think you have Sims-style? Name your supposed level, challenges (if any) completed, etc..
Well, that's your opinion, isn't it? And I'm not about to waste my time trying to change it. - Lady GaGa

I think I have the following skills:
Cooking -- Level 3 (I don't burn grilled cheese!)
--Challenges: None
Charisma -- Level 7 (I'm pretty good at getting my points across, but I do fail sometimes :D)
--Challenges: Personable, Celebrity, Comedian
Logic -- Level 10 (:D What? I'm smart!)
--Challenges: Teacher Extraordinaire, Skill Professor
Writing -- Level 10 (I love to write, and have been told I'm pretty good. Plus, I get A's on most writing assignments)
--Challenges: None
Handiness -- Level 8 (I can usually fix anything with enough time!)
--Challenges: None

This is such a fun topic. Can't wait to see how people respond!

EDIT: Forgot the challengens part!

Logic - Level 10......................... okay, 7 or 8.

Writing - 10 ;D

Charisma - Perhaps 4 or 5. It's kind of unavoidable in the sims so perhaps it is in real life, too. :p

...and I can't think of any challenges.. I am writing a novel, though. So perhaps that goes to the writing skill? It is an online novel. (plug, plug, plug) Haha.

What about you, Chronic? :P

Again, mine would be cooking - level 10, handiness - level 7, charisma - hmm, level 6 or 7 maybe, writing - level 2, logic - maybe 5 or 6.  There is alot of different ways you could interpret challenges in real life.  Mine would be when I started working for corrections in food service.  Now that was a challenge, lol. :)

*Pulls up Carl's Guide list of skills (seriously)* Let's see.

Athletics - 4 (Although I haven't figured out the don't-break-a-sweat thing, does that put me down to <1?)
     - no challenges, at least I'm pretty sure I haven't covered 500km yet

Charisma - 1, well maybe a 4 because of my nursing training

Cooking - 3-4
     - might be a Star Chef if helping my mom growing up counts

Gardening - 7 (I grew up helping my mom care for our family garden.)
     - definitely Master Farmer, also an Expert Weed-Puller and Flower Picker

Handiness - 2 (Level -2 if it's electrical! I prefer to not suffer the singed moodlet again.)

Logic - 8 or so (I'm good at strategy games but couldn't earn a checkmate if my life depended on it.)
     - Teacher Extraordinaire and Skill Professor if tutoring classmates and helping patients learn new or relearn old life skills count

Martial Arts - 0.5 (I took a year of Judo many years ago and can still put someone in a hold and keep them there, but that's it)

Writing - Maybe a 5 (I used to love writing and even took a class on writing children's literature; I wish our skills didn't decline over time)
     - I guess that class would have made me a Specialist Writer except that I don't have anything more than a poem published

No Challenges.
I can do none of those. I'm OK at Piano, but that is it.

Oooh, I never knew there was a Photography skill! I reckon I'd be a 4 on that. ;D

Absolute -1000000000 for the athletic, though.

I need to add to my answer. My Athletic skill is level 8. Now, I can play tennis even longer, don't get sweaty, as well as play more effectively. I even won a good amount of matches! :D

Most of my family were farmers, so it was sort of a summer job for me and my brother when we were kids.  We'd get shipped off every summer to one part of America or another so our parents could have a vacation from us lol.  And when we weren't there, my dad insisted that we plant and maintain a garden.  It was quite educational, and it helped provide a bit of fresh food for the family, too.

Unfortunately, I live in an urban area now so I don't get the chance to get dirt under my fingernails like I used to.  I do have an African Violet in a plant pot, but it's just not the same.
