Once you complete the collection once you can use all 6 machines so 6 preteens can complete this hobby at once
After the time has passed come back and click the exclamation mark above your sims head to find one of the skill tester collectibles in that row. You still level up in this hobby but the hobby level up percentage isn’t important as the skill tester collectibles don’t unlock depending on your level, when you finish a row of skill tester collectibles you will unlock the ability to use the next machine to find the toys in the next row.
The table below shows you the level up reward that your sims will receive when they level up in this hobby:
| LEVEL | TITLE | 1st TIME LEVEL UP REWARD |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Clawfumbler | – |
| 2 | Grabber | 250XP |
| 3 | Prize Horder | 500XP |
| 4 | Skill Bester | S750 |
| 5 | Machine Sweeper | 10,000 Town Value |
| 6 | God of Claw | 1LP |
You won’t find a new collectible each time, you will get repeats, if this happens just keep going, you will find them eventually! If it is still taking too long you can use the lucky spin on the row where you cannot find the item, this will cost LPs, when you click on the LP button it will clear the row and give you a random collectible on that row so you aren’t guaranteed a new item (you will get back any other collectibles you already had in that row) Need to earn some LPs to use the lucky spin?
The completed skill tester collection is shown below, once you complete the collection you need to click ‘start a new collection’ at the top of the hobby collection screen, this clears the board so you can complete the collection again to earn more rewards (you will only get the option to restart the hobby collection when you have completed the collection):
The first time you complete a row you will unlock a new machine to find the next row of skill tester toys, further times you will earn XPs when you complete a row in the hobby but to complete the collection you need to find all 18 of the collectibles
The rewards for completing this collection are the skill tester machine and 5LP:
- The first time you complete the skill tester collection you will unlock the skill practicer machine containing all 6 game options for your home, this costs 10SP and can be found in the electronics section:
- From the second time onwards each time you complete the collection you will earn 5LP

When you purchase the skill tester machine for your home, can you use it to complete the hobby for additional LP? Can 1 home machine be used to complete all tasks or do you need a separate machine for dolls, frogs, etc.?
Yes you can use it at home to complete the collection and you will find all the options on that one machine
