Game Help:Sims 3 Skills/Sculpting

Sculpting

Sculpting is a skill that you can do in The Sims 3 expansion pack, Ambitions.

It is also a skill career, so your sims can register as a Self-Employed sculptor, earning special rewards for selling their work.

Getting Started

To begin sculpting, buy a "Pedestrian Sculpting Station" for §1,100 from Buy Mode > By Function > Entertainment > Hobbies and Skills. Place it in your sim's home in an accessible place (it's big!). Then direct them to interact with it - at first you'll only be able to sculpt in clay, at a cost of §3.

Materials

As Sims become better sculptors, they unlock several materials to work on. Below are the materials, their cost and the levels in which they become available:

Material	Level	Cost	Notes
Clay	0	§25
Metal	2	3 Scrap	Only 5 objects can be sculpted.
Wood	3	§25
Ice	5	§100
Stone	8	§500
Topiary	10	§50	Only 4 topiaries can be scupted.
