Skills are too different in difficulty to grind
This topic is old, but it is renewed with the arrival of the Rock Climbing skill. Which takes 20000 years to get up to lvl 9, which is needed to even be able to earn Gold in the Mountain Excursions.
A quick comparison: My main Sim went from 1 to Max in Skiing in two afternoons (from about 1PM to Midnight each time). Rock Climbing? She is now lvl 6, and it has taken a week. Because it is not only very slow to increase; the injury system makes it impossible to grind properly. Thank God I am playing with Aging Off.
This is not a new phenomena; the Research and Debate skill (which on top of things is irrelevant outside College) took over from Charisma as the "Skill grind from hell". But at least for me the Rock Climbing skill is even worse.
The main problem of course is that some skills, for some reason, are just harder to grind. There is a serious imbalance between the skills in the game.
