Trimming should increase a skill

[aragorn231]

In my opinion it's not really realistic that trimming shrubs does not increase any skills while cleaning a table does. It takes ages to trim about 10 shrubs and the only result is that your Sim is tired and dirty. Oh yeah, and the environment score increases... Maybe trimming should increase the body skill, after all, it's a physically quite heavy task. Or the cleaning skill?

What do you think? What other tasks should be rewarded with some skill increase, and what skill?

Woohoo should award Body skill, or at least fitness. Sims look like they woohoo fairly vigorously. Granted, I find it rather tame by my standards, but it's at least as vigorous-looking at swimming, even now.

I'm in total agreement. Right now gardening serves 2 purposes:

1) To run down the Environemnt of your yard when your flowers and hedges go to weed.

2) To create the strange gardener bugs.

We should get SOMETHING fdor this hassle. Logic? Creativity? Body? I diunno, something.

Isn't that basically how it works in real life? In real life, if you plant anything in your yard, it'll be a jungle soon enough. That's why if you want a clean, pristine looking yard, you have to first, hose it down with napalm or gasoline and burn it off, then sow salt over the ashes, preventing anything from growing there again.
