Servo enhancement data download takes forever
My servo took SEVERAL DAYS, I’m not kidding, wish I was, to download her enhancement data to be able to upgrade. Is this a bug ? It’s so annoying and doesn’t make me want to play with more servos. ...

@Dianesims Huh. I got my first servo to level 10 in a about two sim weeks after activation, while getting him and my sim through university.
If you cancel out of the download and have your servo go learn a few skills and it doesn't increase your enhancement percentage then yeah, it's a bug. Otherwise it's working as intended. Sure, you can just leave servo stationary to download over time, but like I said before, that's going to take forever because time only increases the percentage by very little, whereas building skills and friendships increase the progress much more and significantly faster than just waiting.
I just ran a test on a new save file just in case, and the servo was activated on Sunday morning, 9am. Progress was at 0% fresh off the workstation. Right off the bat I had her chat with her creator and she obtained the charisma and comedy skills from interactions. Checking the percentage it was at 50.43%, and selecting the download option showed it was half done. I cancelled out of the download and had servo cook a meal, and upon obtaining the cooking skill I got the message that servo had enough information downloaded into her database to upgrade. I got her the materials and upgraded to level 1. The upgrade itself took 2 sim hours.
I continued to have her learn more skills, checking the enhancement progress between each skill gained and it showed a steady increase. I had her upgraded to level 2 by 11pm the same day she that was activated.
I followed the same progress while taking care of her needs between skill building and making friends. She was level 4 by Wednesday at 9pm.
In total it took one sim week to get her to level 10.
