Please use this thread going forward: [CHEATS] Skill Cheat Not Working To Lower Skill Level | EA Forums - 12156750
Is there any update on this bug? Has the team acknowledged it and indicated whether they are working on a fix?
I wanted to cheat my teen super sim's mixology skill down. They reached Level 10 mixology sitting in on classes before earning the certificate and now they can't get it. I've quit playing that save file until it gets fixed and I'm starting to wonder if they will since I don't see any updates on this.
I also use the cheat regularly to cheat my toddler's movement skill back down to level 1 to get all the movement milestones, since that bug has been around from the beginning of growing together and the team has never acknowledged it or indicated they would work on a fix.
I don't use mods since I don't think I'm not tech savvy enough to know how to update them when they release patches. I've had to rely on sim cheats to overcome a lot of the in-game bugs, and losing the ability to cheat down skills has taken that ability away.
@Liz_GoBucks Hi! Even though EA has not commented on this particular thread, I'm confident the team is aware of the issue and working on a fix. From previous experience, the lack of response does not mean the team is unaware of or ignoring a problem. They typically only comment on bugs that literally break the game or they need saves because they're not able to replicate the issue. Since I don't work for EA, I don't know what the progress is but I can guess that they were able to replicate this issue. I definitely understand your frustration and I'm glad you've provided more input about how it is affecting your gameplay. Please click "me too" on the first post, if you haven't already, and hopefully other users affected by this bug will do so as well. At this point, all we can do is wait for the fix.
