[FIXED] Sims get random skills

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Deutsch
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.77.131.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? EP: Get to Work, Cats and Dogs, Seasons, Get Famous, Island Living, Discover University, Eco Lifestyle, Cottage Living, Growing Together; GP: Outdoor Retreat, Vampires, Parenthood, Jungle Adventure, Realm of Magic, Dream Home Decorator, Werewolves; SP: Tiny Living Stuff, Nifty Knitting Stuff, Paranormal Stuff; Kit: Desert Luxe
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Either send a sim to work or switch households.
What happens when the bug occurs? After returning, the sim will have a level in a random skill (in my case the local culture skill from Jungle Andventure, sometimes also the fitness or charisma skill).
What do you expect to see? No random skill increase.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. 1.77.131.1030 (or installing Growing Together)

Any ideas what might cause this?

    @gammerkitten123 I split this from the missing hobbies and skill thread as that was about likes/Dislikes and yours sounds different.

    Could you give more details ?

    @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 ?

    @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.
