Charisma (The Sims 3)

In The Sims 3, certain interactions and rewards increase starting relationships, such as a celebrity using a charming introduction will instantly have a new friend. Charisma skill-building requires friends and relationships to progress. Charismatic Sims learn the skill faster. The charisma skill class is held at the city hall and at the college of business.
When you achieve level 10, you will get a certificate:
"Of course you know and love Ms. Balistrieri, doesn't everyone? Well, she's learned of your amazing charisma skills and knows you, [Sim name], will soon reach her stellar level of international renown. Please accept this handsomely framed certificate and display it with pride knowing others will see just how skilled you are in the arts of charisma."
