If It Ain't Broke...Spruce It Up!
As your sim's handiness levels increase, he/she will have more opportunities to tweak the appliances and gadgets around their home. These tweaks, or upgrades, can be applied to almost anything ranging from stoves to trash compactors! Keep in mind that you can break the object you are trying to improve, and if it is an electrical object, you could be shocked. If you are upgrading an electrical object and standing in a puddle, you are guaranteed to get shocked.
