Logic



Logic is a skill in The Sims series. It is a valuable skill for many careers and playing games like chess. In The Sims: Makin' Magic, it improves spell casting, affects how many MagiCoins a Sim will get for performing on the stone stage or at the tricks tables in Magic Town, and may affect the performance of other magical acts.

In The Sims 2, Logic also affects the odds of winning a chess game. With The Sims 2: University, teenagers with a high Logic skill (level 8 or higher) qualify for the Will Wright Genius Grant, which is a §750 scholarship. Logic increases the rate at which a Sim earns the Register talent badge from The Sims 2: Open for Business. With The Sims 2: FreeTime, having high Logic makes it easier for Sims to maintain high enthusiasm for the Games hobby. Additionally, all Sims in The Sims 2 who have 10 points in Logic get a 35% boost when learning other skills, except for Body and Charisma.

Celestial Bodies
When using a telescope and Searching the Galaxy, your Sim will sometimes discover a celestial body. It may be a comet, planet, star, moon, galaxy, black hole, neutron or satellite. Your Sim will earn a small amount of money or up to several thousand (for discovering a black hole) for contributing to the scientific community.
