Although it rely in the Logic skill to be mastered, the more you play this game (not on the laptop) the higher the change you are about to win frequently. Combine this with the Computer Whiz and Lucky trait to make your winning changes skyhigh.
Dancing: Goes till level 3. Because I have also the expansion Late Night sims can now dance in front of a music station, but also on the dance floor. The longer your sim will dance, the better he or she will become, but I am unaware if dancing on the dance floor or just on the floor differs from each other.
Darts: Goes till level 10. When two sims are playing darts against each other one sim can win from the second sim. The more a sim plays, the higher the change of winning. Probably the Lucky trait as a positive influence on this.

When two sims are playing foosball against each other one of the two can win from each other. The more a sim playes, the higher the change of winning.

Gem cutforms: I include gem cutting in this because it depends on the amount of gems your sim has found to unlock another gemcut form. The game tracks this which perhaps should'nt made this a hidden skill, but you can't see exactly which cut will be unlocked when, which makes it a hidden skill though. This hidden skill can rely on both collecting as well as the skills Athletic and Martial Arts as together their challenges Body Builder and Timber Terminator can unlock the ability to cut out space rocks (World Adventures needed) until the sim is fatique. The Lifetime Reward Learned Relic Hunter, which can be bought for 15.000 Lifetime Happyness points will give the value of relics and other collectibles (which includes gems as well) a enormous boost.

The more a sim does the Snake Charming interaction the better he will be at it.
