After reviewing the game files, the research binge only works for skills that have levels between 2-5.&nbsp; I was wrong in my original post in about it only being the top skill and right in another.              &lt;V t="statistic"&gt;
                &lt;U n="statistic"&gt;
                  &lt;T n="must_have_stat"&gt;True&lt;/T&gt;
                  &lt;T n="stat"&gt;16705&lt;!--Skill: statistic_Skill_AdultMajor_HomestyleCooking--&gt;&lt;/T&gt;
                  &lt;V t="value_threshold" n="threshold"&gt;
                    &lt;U n="value_threshold"&gt;
                      &lt;E n="comparison"&gt;LESS_OR_EQUAL&lt;/E&gt;
                      &lt;T n="value"&gt;5&lt;/T&gt;
                    &lt;/U&gt;
                  &lt;/V&gt;
                &lt;/U&gt;
              &lt;/V&gt;
              &lt;V t="statistic"&gt;
                &lt;U n="statistic"&gt;
                  &lt;T n="must_have_stat"&gt;True&lt;/T&gt;
                  &lt;T n="stat"&gt;16705&lt;!--Skill: statistic_Skill_AdultMajor_HomestyleCooking--&gt;&lt;/T&gt;
                  &lt;V t="value_threshold" n="threshold"&gt;
                    &lt;U n="value_threshold"&gt;
                      &lt;E n="comparison"&gt;GREATER_OR_EQUAL&lt;/E&gt;
                      &lt;T n="value"&gt;2&lt;/T&gt;Also, the research binge skills only cover the base game skills newer skills are not added.&nbsp; Files from newer skills do not exist in the game.&nbsp; The skills that work with the research binge action are listed below:&lt;L n="loot_list"&gt;&lt;T&gt;27797&lt;!--LootActions: Bartending_To_05--&gt;&lt;/T&gt;&lt;T&gt;27798&lt;!--LootActions: Charisma_To_05--&gt;&lt;/T&gt;&lt;T&gt;27799&lt;!--LootActions: Comedy_To_05--&gt;&lt;/T&gt;&lt;T&gt;27817&lt;!--LootActions: Cooking_To_05--&gt;&lt;/T&gt;&lt;T&gt;27800&lt;!--LootActions: Gardening_To_05--&gt;&lt;/T&gt;&lt;T&gt;27812&lt;!--LootActions: Gourmet_To_05--&gt;&lt;/T&gt;&lt;T&gt;27801&lt;!--LootActions: Guitar_To_05--&gt;&lt;/T&gt;&lt;T&gt;27802&lt;!--LootActions: Programming_To_05--&gt;&lt;/T&gt;&lt;T&gt;27803&lt;!--LootActions: Handiness_To_05--&gt;&lt;/T&gt;&lt;T&gt;27804&lt;!--LootActions: Logic_To_05--&gt;&lt;/T&gt;&lt;T&gt;27805&lt;!--LootActions: Mischief_To_05--&gt;&lt;/T&gt;&lt;T&gt;27806&lt;!--LootActions: Painting_To_05--&gt;&lt;/T&gt;&lt;T&gt;27807&lt;!--LootActions: Piano_To_05--&gt;&lt;/T&gt;&lt;T&gt;27808&lt;!--LootActions: RocketScience_To_05--&gt;&lt;/T&gt;&lt;T&gt;27809&lt;!--LootActions: VideoGaming_To_05--&gt;&lt;/T&gt;&lt;T&gt;27810&lt;!--LootActions: Violin_To_05--&gt;&lt;/T&gt;&lt;T&gt;27811&lt;!--LootActions: Writing_To_05--&gt;&lt;/T&gt;&lt;T&gt;99836&lt;!--LootActions: Fishing_To_05--&gt;&lt;/T&gt;&lt;T&gt;111332&lt;!--LootActions: Photography_To_05--&gt;&lt;/T&gt;&lt;/L&gt;I updated the title of the thread to reflect the actual issue in the game that is the actual glitch.&nbsp;@crinrict&nbsp;

I see the same, it only raises base game skills. It seems like it would make more sense to raise any skill that can be raised on a computer.
