[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?

    The exact same thing has happened to me and I’ve actually been able to increase this skill using cheats but I don’t have the stuff pack installed at all. 

  • I have this bug but only for servos. My played servos have a whole bunch of new skills every time I switch to their household, usually level 1 or 2, and also very random skills, for example Fitness or Selvadoradian Culture. I haven’t noticed this with other sims, only servos.

    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,

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