==The Sims==
In The Sims: Makin' Magic, it improves spell casting, affects how many MagiCoins a Sim will get for performing on the stone stage or at the tricks tables in Magic Town, and may affect the performance of other magical acts.
==The Sims 2==
In The Sims 2, logic also affects the odds of winning a chess game. With The Sims 2: University, teenagers with a high logic skill (level 8 or higher) qualify for the Will Wright Genius Grant, which is a §750 scholarship. Logic increases the rate at which a Sim earns the Register talent badge from The Sims 2: Open for Business. With The Sims 2: FreeTime, having high logic makes it easier for Sims to maintain high enthusiasm for the games and science hobbies. Additionally, all Sims in The Sims 2 who have 10 points in logic get a 35% boost when learning other skills, except for body and charisma.
==The Sims 3==
In The Sims 3, logic is augmented by the computer whiz, genius, and perceptive traits. With a higher logic skill, Sims can look through the telescope in many different ways. Sims are able to use the Catalyst Chemistry Lab Station to make potions.
When you achieved Level 10, you will get a certificate:
"With mental skills like yours it is only logical that we, the Pollak Institute for Esoteric but Correct Thinking congratulate you, for achieving the very highest level of excellence in your mental endeavors. Please accept this handsomely framed certificate and display it with pride knowing others will see just how skilled you are"

===Abilities===
Increasing a Sim's logic skill gives the Sim certain special interactions:
Level	Ability 	Notes
3 	Search Galaxy 	Allows the Sim to find and name stars for simoleons.
5 	Tutor Children 	Allows the Sim to tutor children to increase the child's grades. Increases the Logic skill of both Sims if they have learned it.
10 	Tutor Sims for Skill	Allows the Sim to teach other Sims skills they know.
===Celestial bodies===
When using a telescope and searching the galaxy, a Sim will sometimes discover a celestial body. It may be a comet, planet, star, moon, galaxy, black hole, neutron or satellite. The Sim will then earn a small amount of money or up to several thousand (for discovering a black hole) for contributing to the scientific community.
With The Sims 3: Into the Future, Sims can use the Stellar Observatory to search for stellar activity. Like telescopes, Sims can also discover celestial bodies during this interaction. Sims who are in the astrophysicist branch of the astronomer career can discover unique celestial bodies, and for every celestial body they discover, they can earn a painting of that body. These paintings can have a value from hundreds to thousands of simoleons depending on the importance of that discovery. The unique bodies are an asteroid belt, constellation, event horizon, gamma ray burst, life on another planet, nebula, shooting star, super nova, and the end of universe. The game screen can flash for a second after discovering a super nova.
Also, Sims may see a meteor fall from the sky and land somewhere in town. They can use Map View to find the land site and travel there to collect the space rock. There is also a chance that the meteor will fall on them.

===Trivia===
*When moving to another neighborhood, Sims must rediscover all the potions. However, because each discovery adds 10% to the discovery rate without resetting it, a Sim that had completed the Master Chemist challenge previously will not be able to complete the challenge ever, and when the Sim discovers 10 potions throughout the Sim's cumulative history, the challenge is marked as completed. However, the Sim does have another opportunity to discover each potion for free once.
*When a Sim masters the logic skill, the game mentions Veronaville on the pop-up message saying, "Such brilliance and mental fortitude have not been witnessed since the Late Renaissance of Veronaville!"
*If Showtime is installed, children and teenagers raising Logic often trigger the Master Magician Lifetime Wish, despite the career not requiring the skill.
*To complete the Teacher Extraordinaire simply select "Friendly" then "Tutor" not "Tutor in..."
==The Sims 4==
In The Sims 4 is augmented by the genius trait, as it will occasionally give a focused moodlet, with focused being the ideal emotion for building logic skill. Gaining logic skill is required for the Nerd Brain aspiration and also for some careers.
===Benefits===
Similarly to the previous games, Sims with higher logic skill increase their chances of winning at games like chess. Logic skill is also tied to collecting, with benefits relating to this including the ability to collect and analyze plant, crystal and fossil samples at levels 2, 5 and 8 respectively. Also, Sims can unlock several Logic based interactions: 'Discuss Logic', 'Provide Logical Solution to Problems' and 'Rant Logically'.
