In The Sims 4 Royalty and Legacy, players can engage in several activities associated with nobles and knights, namely Swordsmanship. Swordsmanship is the main skill added to The Sims 4 with the Royalty and Legacy expansion pack, and it plays a major role in Ondarion, as Sims can duel to win over others' hearts, get promotions, or simply for fun.

This guide will tell players what they need to know about the Swordsmanship Skill in The Sims 4, including how obtain it and how to master it.

How to Get the Swordsmanship Skill in The Sims 4

There are two items that Sims must acquire in order to obtain the Swordsmanship Skill in The Sims 4: a Practice Dummy and a Sword.

Practice Dummies can be purchased in Build Mode. To get a sword, players must order them online using a computer, purchase them at the Blacksmith Workshop in Ondarion or by interacting with a Practice Dummy (if they don't have a sword in their inventory).

The Wooden Sword is available before players unlock the Swordsmanship Skill. It can be purchased for 140 Simoleons on a computer or Practice Dummy, but gamers can get it at a discount price of 70 Simoleons at the Blacksmith Workshop.

Other swords in The Sims 4 can be obtained by talking to the Zanbira Tree or completing quests.

Once players have gotten themselves a Sword, they can obtain the Swordsmanship Skill by training the skill with a Training Dummy or dueling with other Sims.
