With the new update (PC; 1.118.242.1030; 9/18/2025) it has been possibly to lower the skills to 2, but it is still not possible to make them 1 or make them disappear.
Note by crinrict
Seems the fix didn't include skill level 2 -> 1. Removing has never worked.
You can't remove skills that way. Never could afair. 1 should work though
Could you please provide the following information
- Are you using mods/cc in your game ? Please remove them and test without them if you do.
Hi arkinessa
are you still having issues with this ? Any mods/cc in your game ?
I am having the same issue too. "stats.set_skill_level Major_[skill]" can only be lowered to level 2.
It needs to be lowered to 0.
I have never had any type of mod or custom content in the entirety of my Sims 4 gameplay.
Are you able to lower your sims skills to level 1 or level 0 on your gameplay. If so, what cheat are you using??
Update Patch [PC; 1.118.242.1030; 9/18/2025] said "Skill cheats can now be used to lower skill." However, it is not possible to lower skills below level 2 (Level 2 is the lowest skill level via cheats). Skills need to be lowered to the lowest level 1. Ideally, skills should be able to removed by lowering the skill to level 0.
I am using the following cheat: "stats.set_skill_level Major_[skill name] [skill level]"
I have never used Mods or Custom Content in the entirety of my Sims 4 gameplay.
I will also say, it would have been helpful when former issue is labeled with the status "FIXED," that it is noted what performance is used to fix the issue. For example, EA forum "[CHEATS] Skill Cheat Not Working To Lower Skill Level" was labeled as "FIXED" by "crinrict" by referencing "Fixed in Patch 1.118.242/2.20." This is not helpful because it does not say how an issue was fixed (e.g. was a new cheat created, does the old cheat work, etc.) It should be more specific than "Fixed in Patch 1.118.242/2.20." Especially if the "Plumbob and Go - Getaway The Sims way!" game update is not going to say how a player is going to identify the bug fix.
JAMMEN77 I merged your post with the existing thread.
Everything that gets fixed has patch notes which are added to a thread. If there's no more information, none other can be added. That's how it has always worked.
There was no new cheat added, seems it just wasn't properly fixed for skill level 1. We were never able to remove skill with cheats.
