Ah, that makes sense now. I thought my Sim was supposed to only use skills from one category and that seemed pretty close to impossible.

@Sketch793 As I'm testing it I'm finding that the Skill Boost itself only picks one category. I think there may be a glitch because mine is now stuck on Social Skills Boost even though my Sim is covering Logic, Fitness, Handiness, Cooking and Dog Training. She'd already used it to boost her Charisma but moved on from that skill some time ago.
I had the Mental Skills boost for ages but now that it's saying Social Skills I don't feel like that makes sense and wonder if the diverse variation in her current practiced skills may possibly have confused it.
When she was only concentrating on the Mental Skills Logic and Research she got the Mental Skills boost.
So far I think the Skills Boost having such distinct categories is a little limiting. But as the explanation says it's a trait that's meant to add a challenge, perhaps that's the challenge.
I also noticed she gets a 24 hour Focused Buff each evening so I gave her the Seldom Sleepy Reward Trait to keep pushing and see if I could increase it beyond 24hrs but that seems to be the Max and the best a Sim can do is achieve it again the next evening but it won't go higher than 24hrs for me. I actually find it more useful than the Skills Boost.

If you don't want to always have to rely on that, so if you are creating an adult Sim I recommend that Practice Makes Perfect Trait. My Sim who has it is focused virtually all the time now. In fact some players are unhappy their Sims are excessively focused because of it. It's so ironic we have one thread trying to get Sims focused and another trying to get rid of too much focus!
