Career Skills (A tad bit disappointed)
I'm not going to say that this is a major pet peeve, because I have, for the most part, learned to ignore it. But every once in a while, like today for example, I just have to take a few minutes to ra...

I like the idea of being able to build skills without the need to monetize every little detail of the game too. Being able to have my sims stay at home (not work) and just roam the worlds collecting stuff and fishing.... that's interesting game play too.
I am just pointing out that if you decide to go the career route for a particular play-through, that it can be a bit disappointing (at least to me) that your sim won't earn any educational prestige over other sims......
..... despite having my sim work their career skills to the highest, while also taking the time to earn a university degree to enter that career. I still can't consider my sim a professional or expert in their chosen educational direction. A expert compared to which other sim? My sim could have achieved all of that skill while skipping the job market experience, and snubbing their nose at professional training from university.
When playing the sims, we almost must take the money factor out of the equation.... especially when my sim made 6,000 simoleans from to doing just 2 masterpiece paintings. If I was just wanting my sim's play-through to be about riches.... i'd just put an easel in the corner and ignore the rest of the game. Money-wise, we don't even need the rest of the game. Just paint pictures.
For me, building the skills, going through the university thing, working on the career responsibilities, etc. isn't about the money factor. It's about wanting some kind of educational experience and reward over my other sims in the household who apparently can achieve the same level of skills without the experience of career building, or professional training.
Maybe the game needs a guild system .... allowing sims to earn guild perk points if they have a degree for their chosen career.
