Skills levels and careers should created in CAS and we should be able to lock levels skills. I know everyone doesn't want to start from scratch every time the create a sim and some don't want to cheat. All relationship options should also be in CAS; bestfriends, enemies, fiancé, stepbrother etc.Story mode is the closest we have to this feature but everything is randomized and you can't change it. It would be cool if the option existed so can choose what we want from the get go.

You can make a Sim through the story mode choice and they do get a career and some skills based on the answers to the question. Again though you don't really get choice - the items are randomly picked

If the traits and everything can be randomized surely they give us the option to chose what careers and skills we want are sims to have from CAS.

I usually go into each household and use UI extension to cheat careers and skills

What's the difference if a player cheats skills or one adds them in CAS? Both have the same outcome. Same for relationships. I use MCCC to add/change stuff if I want. What you suggest would be cool. I think other things are more a priority like bugs. Right now my Sims game is a mess. Actually, if I want a Sim with skills I get them off the gallery. For me building relationships is fun and with all the broken stuff in the game it's the last thing I want to cheat. I mean my Sims hunger needs are messed up since the free update. I have to cheat so much now the way it is and I don't usually cheat needs. The game is broken and needs some attention.

Since you can kind of already do that with story-mode, can we get the option to change the occult of a sim without hitting "create new sim"? I sometimes find myself creating a sim and thinking "oooh, this sim would be perfect as an *insert occult here*!" But - WAIT I can't do that. I have to play the game and cheat to change them.

Ha, I completely agree with this. I want my Sim to remain a terrible cook forever just because he's naturally bad at it. How I get around it is using MCC and resetting his skill level every time he upgrades but yeah, would have been great to disable skill gain for a particular area.

but we make grown adult sims already so i think it makes sense to give them some skills before starting the game and give them some connection to their world by setting relationships

That's okay but don't you think it's weird that young adult to elder sims don't have a single skill? That isn't very realistic.

Nothing is more annoying than creating a character and thinking they would be a wonder full occult only to realize you can't change in CAS. I have no idea why they set it up like that. Because in CAS most of the sims have two models and spell casters are just normal sims. It can't be that hard? Well I don't know for sure.
