skill cheats not working properly

I'm trying to reset some of my sims' skills and it's only working half the time. I was able to reset some of their skills and not others.

The thing is, I doubt I'm using the wrong cheats, because I tried raising their levels in the skills that I couldn't remove and it worked. I just can't lower the skill level, and if I can lower it I just can't remove it.

For example, I was able to one sim's gardening skill to 4, and then to 1, but I couldn't set it to 0.

    @starryskies1234 @jpkarlsen Okay, two ways to remove a skill:

    1. With game cheats, useful for a single cheat: With testingcheats on and the Sim selected, use the skill level cheat but set it to 0. Then go to Manage Worlds and reload the household. You might need to load another household in between, but probably not.

    2. With mods, and useful if you were wanting to do a lot of change: With MC Command Center, using the Cheats module, click on the Sim, select MC Command Center > Cheats >Skill Cheats > Forget All Skills. Then use UI Cheats Extension to add the Skills you want back and cheat them up to the level you want.

    When a sim first discover a skill it always start at 1 so there is no way to set it to 0 once the skill has been discovered. I don't know if there exist a cheat that will make a skill undiscovered.

    UI cheat only have level 1 to max level (3, 5 or 10) with no option to remove the skill entirely.
