Diversity of Skills

I would really like the diversity of Zoi skills to be expanded.
Currently, some of them seem to me to unify several skills that are similar, but are not really the same.

The ‘fitness’ skill, for example, encompasses all physical activities except swimming. I think it would be much more interesting if this skill were fragmented into: yoga, weightlifting, running, ball skills/games, and swimming (which is already separate).

  • Note 01: I would like to have more options / activities / animations with balls (for example, doing ball tricks with a soccer ball).

Another example is the musical instruments skill, which could/should be divided for each instrument separately or at least by those that are really similar: guitar/electric guitar, piano/keyboard, drums, DJ mixing.

  • Note 02: It would be very good to be able to change the textures and colors of the guitar and especially the electric guitar.
  • Note 03: What is the reason the tambourine is only used for dancing? It would be good if we could use it as a musical instrument (which is what it really is).

I would also like the singing skill to be separated from ‘performance’, and could be divided into: singing, performing arts, and comedy.

The ‘Household Chores’ skill should be fragmented into: maintenance (carpentry, mechanics, and electrical work), and cleaning (housecleaning and laundry - washing dishes could also be part of this category).

  • Note 04: The level of these skills could affect the quality of the service performed, such as: breaking furniture instead of improving conservation x making them last longer; not cleaning the environment completely x keeping it clean for longer or cleaning a larger area; breaking dishes during washing x ‘making them shine’; damaging or staining clothes during washing x making them cleaner…

This way, it would become more specific, interesting, and time-consuming to improve the Zois’ skills.

Oops! I just realized this is a copy of this post. I searched but didn’t see it until now. Please go hearth that post also if you agree with this idea!

The Idea

I was disappointed to see that there was just an “instrument” skill for everything from singing to playing guitar or DJing.

While I do think knowing certain skills should make learning related skills easier, I think combining skills together into broad categories should be avoided.

A great example of where this has already been done was with the “coffee craft,” “baking,” and “cooking” skills. I was delighted to see such specific skills!

Examples of Skills to Split Up

I would like to see the “instrument” skill separated out for each instrument type: singing, guitar, drums/percussion, DJing, piano, etc.

The “critical thinking” skill separated into “logic” and “writing.”

The “art” skill changed to “painting” so that down the road we could see separate “pottery,” “knitting,” “weaving,” etc. skills

What do ya’ll think? Are there any other skills you would like to see separated out into more specific categories?

Hi MisterCrumplebottom

Thank you for sharing! Since your post is the same request about Diversity of Skills, I’ve combined it with the existing thread. You can follow along there for updates and join the ongoing discussion :wink:
