Re: My skills wont improve and my lifetime happiness doesnt increase during gameplay

do you use mods ? they may need updateing to your game patch level

edit to add also try clearing the cache files

delete the cach files go to electronic arts/the sims 3/

  •CasPartCache.package

•compositorCache.package

•scriptCache.package •

simCompositorCache.package

•socialCache.package.package

it's safe to delete these files as a new ones will regenerate
