Toy Making

Toy Making was introduced in Open for Business, allowing players to run toy stores and giving a wider range of fun objects. These are usually for children and toddlers, though some can be used by older Sims. When a Sim starts making a toy, the player can customize its appearance; there are several choices for each toy. Gaining a badge level allows a Sim to make one or two new types of toys. High mechanical skills help with this badge, and creativity can also be helpful.
A toy making station, The Titanic Toy Machine, is featured in The Sims 3 Store, as part of the additional set from purchasing Midnight Hollow.

Toys Available: Sir Bricks-a-Lot
====Sir Bricks-a-Lot====
Pet Bricks are the simplest toys. There's no risk of failure in making them, but they're also cheap to sell and don't do much. Sims can interact with the bricks, teaching them tricks and having them perform tricks for other Sims, who, depending on personality, will either play along or laugh.
===Bronze Badge===
New Toys Available: Little Heroes Fire Truck, Clown-in-a-Box
====Little Heroes Fire Truck====
The Little Heroes Fire Truck is a simple toy that raises Fun. The only option Sims have is to play with it. It has no evil version.
====Clown-in-a-Box====
A Clown-in-a-Box is a jack-in-the-box toy. When played with, it releases a clown when the crank is turned.
The evil Clown-in-a-Box has a flame pattern and when used will scare the Sim using it, causing a drop in fun and comfort. It will also cause the bladder need to plummet forcing the Sim to get to a toilet instantly or they will wet themselves. However, it is said that mean Sims actually like the evil Clown-in-a-Box.
===Silver Badge===
New Toys Available: Brinks' Kite; Twirl, Spin, and Wobble!
====Brinks' Kite====
With this toy, Sims can literally "go fly a kite", if there's enough room and the wind is right. The evil version is metallic and has red eyes. Both versions of the kite can attract lightning.
====Twirl, Spin, and Wobble!====
Toddlers and children can sit on this and spin around for fun, though they may get dizzy. Other Sims can watch for fun, though they may get dizzy if their needs are low enough. This toy has no evil version.
===Gold Badge===
New Toy Available: Wet n' Wild Water Wiggler
====Wet n' Wild Water Wiggler====
Up to four Sims can use this water sprayer at once, and others can watch for fun. If it is used outdoors, it will not leave puddles. If Pets is installed, dogs who have been trained to be clean can be told to wash themselves in it. Dogs who have been trained to be playful can also be told to wash themselves in it, as dogs seem to think the Water Wiggler is fun. A Servo may try to use this toy autonomously. While this will not necessarily cause the Servo to run amok, it is still a bad idea, as it will drain the Servo's Power motive. (This mod at Mod The Sims will keep Servos from autonomously playing in a Water Wiggler.)
The evil version is a bright red squid that will leave puddles and spawn weeds even when it is used outdoors.

==The Sims 3 Store==
Toy making returns to The Sims 3 via The Titanic Toy Machine, which can be bought in The Sims 3 Store for 545 SimPoints. It is also included in the gold version of Midnight Hollow. Sims can craft toys that are not available in buy mode using this machine. Crafting toys is free, however the process can also fail, resulting in creation of a broken toy object, called as "Misfit Monstrosity". All the toys are craftable from the start. Sims can choose to create toys individually or randomly.
Similar to the mechanic in The Sims 2: Open for Business, players can create toy stores and sell crafted toys using the Savvy Seller's Collection, which also comes with Midnight Hollow.
