The Sims 4: Complete Skills List
In The Sims 4, Skills can be gained and developed by interacting with the required objects or performing specific actions. Level 10 Skills are referred to as Major Skills, while Minor Skills will be marked at Level 5.
In rare cases, exceptions may be made – such as Vampire Lore at 15 Levels.
