The Sims Social Sports Week Brings Just Two New Skill Items

As you probably know already, the Sports Week theme has just started in The Sims Social and most of us were really excited about this new theme since it seems to be the first "manly" release in the game for a long time at least. And although I wasn't expecting boxing classes or American Football courts to be released in the game, I must admit that I am pretty disappointed with the content that's part of this week's theme.

The Sports Week collection has indeed brought us a new Skill in The Sims Social, the Athletic Skill, but there are just two items that come with it and allow us to improve it and they're not that special: I am talking here about the Simiyoga Mat and the XRunner 3000 Home Edition... Not very impressive, to say the least!

However, we'll have to purchase these items like we always do, and I am here to share with you the details: the easiest to get is the Simiyoga Mat which only costs 1,000 Simoleons.

Next, the XRunner 3000 involves a little bit of work since it costs a big 35,000 Simoleons (but also gives an amazing house value of 13,000) and it also requires building materials: 12 Wrenches, 12 Entertainments, 15 Peaches, 10 Stopwatches and 5 Gym Shoes.

Hopefully Playfish has a few more items for the Athletic Skill in mind and ready for release in the near future.

Until then, tell us what you think about the Sports Week items in The Sims Social: do you like them or you are, like me, slightly disappointed?
