Re: [ARCHIVED] Adult sims at home hone children skills when active sims away
@Zack4358 That is normal for the game and has been that way all the way back to when the base game was released. When you travel, the initial skill shown in the greyed out portrait just happens to be what they were doing at the time you traveled and left them behind. They do not gain any more skill if they are maxed out just like they don't when they're doing anything they've already maxed out but you have them doing anyway (like cooking) or they do autonomously when you are on your home lot with them. So if you want them to learn other new skills, just change it to something else they can gain skill in. To do that, in case you didn't know, just click on the portrait (may be a right click, I can't remember atm) and choose another skill for them to work on while you're away. Basically, the only skills you get to choose from are base game skills that are not maxed. Skills you have maxed won't be listed. Most of the skills from the other packs after base game won't be listed either. If they've maxed out all the skills available, then you can also have them socialize with any sim they have met and have any relationship with or care for themselves.
