Is Photography broken?

I'm trying the photography skill for the first time ever because I have always hated it. My sim can't get past skill level 1. It's stuck half at 64% and will not increase no matter how many pictures I take. Is this a common problem? What should I do?
  • I restarted the game after deleting some of the caches in the sims 4 folder. That fixed it, thanks everyone.
  • Normally I won't use cheats with skills, ah what am I kidding, I do, but I do know of a cheat that might help you get past this issue. Anyways here is it.

    First, enter testingcheats on

    Then enter Stats.set_skill_level major_piano 2

    If you find you are having problems with certain cheats not working, is because they were locked up. There is a mod that lets all cheats be used again.

    The skill you've put here was unlocked due to popular demand. So no mod needed.
    However, the cheat needed to enter is this:
    stats.set_skill_level major_photography 2

    Yours increases piano skill.
    But yes, testing cheats do need to be enabled first.

    I experienced this too and I had to cheat to get them past it.
  • Hello
    Being inspired when taking photos can help to raise the skill level quicker. Also having the Natural Light trait on the lot helps with the photography skill.
