- @gammerkitten123 I split this from the missing hobbies and skill thread as that was about likes/Dislikes and yours sounds different.
Could you give more details ? everyTime I try to work on my sims Skills they get skills I didn't tell them to like I am working on the charisma skill and my sims will also get the selvadoradian culture skill
- @gammerkitten123 For all Sims ? There are some things that can give you two skills so this is when you use the seance table ?
oh is that new I was using mirror ? also i get like 3 skill will come at a time like I have no control over them anymore
- @gammerkitten123 Ah now I get where the seance is coming from. You probably wanted to put since and auto-correct knew better. That totally confused me :D
It's mostly for kids that they changed stuff but there were always interactions that influenced multiple skills.
Charisma and Salvadorian culture sounds a bit off though, especially if your not in that world.
Could you post some combinations you're getting ? it's pretty much anything and it's random like even if my sim douse nothing they will get a new skill no warning
- @gammerkitten123 That does sound odd. Do you still have any mods/cc in your game ?
no I took them out for the update
- @gammerkitten123 Could you test a fresh save to see if you have the same issue there ? I haven't really had time to play since the patch so maybe someone else has seen similar.
Already did that I've even uninstalled and reinstalled the game ?
what is a folder rename ?
Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199
You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files and make a backup.
After renaming, repair your game by clicking on the dots in EA app.
Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.
- Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
- Tray Folder
- Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
- Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
- Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
- ConfigOverride, if you have your own configuration files.
- Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)
The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.
oh do you men tacking out you old save's ? I did that
- @gammerkitten123 Creating a new folder, try if it happens on a new save , then just put back your save and check if it's still an issue and if not, start putting back your other stuff.
I did that and it don't work
- @gammerkitten123 OK. then I don't know. Guess we'll need to see if others have this too.
ya that why I came here to see if anyone else has this I tried to reported it to ea so just letting everyone know It's a wicked bug
think's for trying to help
Yes, my sim aged up to teen with random skills, like the one from Jungle Adventure. She hadn't been to high school to get any of the skills there.
When she did go to school, the traits acted like they were never there, ie she started at level one.- @xemily91 that's pretty similar to what i am going throw plase let ea help know the more people who tell them the better
I am also having this issue! My sim is getting random skills for no reason, including Salvadorian culture. Every time I start a new game to erase it she gets it again!
that is the same as me I've reported this to ea. help please anyone having this issue do the same
I've had this issue as well. My sims keep getting the Selvadoradian Cultureskill. My sims haven't traveled to Selvadorada. I haven't noticed when it appears but my sims have used the mirror to work on their charisma skill as mentioned earlier in the thread. I'll test it with another sim.
I'm having this issue too. They are learning Selvadoradan skills but never traveled there. I've had this happen with several sims. I also noticed in my current save that the mother and child have gotten the knitting skill. They haven't learned knitting and don't have a basket on the lot. But what I did notice is they are using the rocking chair, which is from Nifty Knitting I think? Both the parent and child have used the rocking chair and have the knitting skill. So I wonder if the random Selvadoradan skills are coming from interacting with a Jungle Adventure item, like a mirror or something?
