    Skills will not randomly increase or change when leaving the lot or editing the household. If your Sim knows, they know.

    Fixed in Patch 1.107.112/1.92

    Please create a new thread if you're still experiencing this issue,

    New thread if you're still seeing this issue: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Sims-get-random-skills-Patch-1-107-112/m-p/13767779

    They might have fixed something else. I think they patch notes sound a bit like a different issue but who knows.

@gammerkitten123 That does sound odd. Do you still have any mods/cc in your game ?

    @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.

    @gammerkitten123 Did you also do a folder rename ?

    Haven't seen any other reports yet.

    Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

    You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

    After renaming, repair your game by clicking on the dots in EA app.

    Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

    • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
    • Tray Folder
    • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
    • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • ConfigOverride, if you have your own configuration files.
    • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

    The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

    @gammerkitten123 Creating a new folder, try if it happens on a new save , then just put back your save and check if it's still an issue and if not, start putting back your other stuff.
