I tested this in my save and I no longer see this issue.
I will mark it as fixed.
Just had this happen to me (ranks 8, 9, and 10 in rapid succession), and found this thread in hopes of discovering why.
One key difference is that this kid was playing Sims Forever, not either of the "edutainment" games.
Like one of the other posts, this kid has the Whiz Kid aspiration (having completed the motor and social related aspirations), although it's only just started and has no progress toward even its first milestone.
The computer was the Respecterion Mid-Range (not a Reward computer at all).
This child has maxed Motor, Social, and Mental skills (all of them naturally, thankyouverymuch), and has the Video Gaming skill (currently at Level 1 and 90% progress).
No mods or cheats are in effect (I don't even have any mods, and have yet to look into the game's cheats).
And... I hope that's all the pertinent information, because I cannot think of anything else that qualifies.
Not gonna balk at a few free ranks of the skill, especially since I'm not even sure the kid has time to finish this third aspiration (birthday in twelve days), and so is unlikely to take the creative one at all, so any benefit I get from it is transient at best. But it is fairly evidently a bug, so I'm reporting it with all the relevant data I can think of.
