Skill levels won't increase on Sims 3 PC!

Okay so, my Sims were doing just fine in Sims 3 and now suddenly, many skills just won't increase. I tried searching everywhere for an answer, but anyone who did have problems had problems because they had vampire sims. I do not have vampire sims because i don't have expansion packs at all. I have normal, regular Sims who just suddenly won't increase the skill level anymore. For the one sim, his writing skill won't improve and for the other one, the fishing skill won't increase. They are both elders so I don't know if that has something to do with it. Anyways, I'm getting really upset now so if someone could please help me out here, that'd be great. Also, I already tried to make him take a class...didn't help. Also tried buying new computers, moving and buying more computers and even using computers in the library and at other people's houses. Plus i got him a job and tried to get him to work on his writing skill there, but nothing happened. LASTLY, I already tried to reset the sim...very confused, please help.

    I had this same problem.  Because I have had so many saves get corrupted or bugged, every day that I play I make a new save.  That way I can go backwards until I find a game that is not bugged.  This problem happened for me on a save wherein I installed subways to Moonlight Falls.  Also that day, I used the testing cheat enablelotlocking.  Those where the only odd things I did, so maybe they were the cause.  My advice, make lots of new saves. 

  • I had a similar problem with the handiness skill. I couldn't even do anything related to handiness. I was able to fix it when I moved in a sim from another game save who already had level 3 in the handiness skill
