    @gammerkitten123 For all Sims ? There are some things that can give you two skills so this is when you use the seance table ?

    @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 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.

    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.

    @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.
  • 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  

  • @crinrict Same here. Teen sim doing school homework - getting Charisma, doing selfie while in Confident mood - getting Salvadorian Culture. Also there's a chance to get Video Gaming while sleeping. And when it comes to servos, well... There's a total mess, it gets a whole bunch (about 15-20) random skills when doing it's first system upgrade
