This mod has been updated and is now compatible with patch 1.65.70.1020 (7/23/2020).

DESCRIPTION
Sims with the Tinkerer Trait tend to be curious about how things work and often have the skills to take them apart and put them together again to satisfy that curiosity. They gain the Handiness and Logic Skills faster than other Sims and love nothing more than repairing and even upgrading all their household appliances and electronics. In their spare time, these Sims also delight in reading and conducting research to increase their Handiness knowledge.

See the pictures for more information, and feel free to let me know if something seems wrong or is difficult to understand--or even if you simply like the mod and want to say thanks. After the wonderful response I got for posting the Gardener trait, I plan to continue creating useful and realistic traits for myself and sharing them with all of you
