What is your least favourite skill?

Baking. I know that it has been changed a bit and it is not so obnoxious, but I REALLY loathe that skill...

Mischief. I always feel bad for theses sims who have to suffer from this. The only mischief activity I found amusing is painting the del sol valley famous sims boulevard and the soap in the well.

I agree about herbalism; never bothered much with it since every potion you can make is in the aspiration rewards and I always have more than enough points.

The only skill I haven’t used at all is the Veterinarian skill.

Mischief and herbalism

The DJ mixing skill, because all a Sim has to do is stand next to a DJ booth to acquire it. That's like watching a doctor treat a patient, and saying "Ok, I'm a doctor now"

Charisma - skilling that up is the dullest thing ever...

Research and Debate. All my sims go to University so trying to level that up as a teen to prepare them is tedious.

Why do it before Uni? You have plenty of time to learn it there. Either join the debate team and / or use the research machine a lot. Bonus points for researching Research at the Research machine...
Oh and put some research machines down at every library in your game. Then any of your sims can learn it at any time, easily. Plus making money by giving knowledge to the machine.

Btw, keep an eye on what's offered for secondary courses when you pick your courses for the semester. Sometimes a Debate / Research course is given. That's a no-brainer to take that one...

Don't stand before a mirror and practice debate, that is tedious and a bad tactic (just like with Charisma; never do the mirror thing, do actions that give you charisma instead).

Herbalism - total waste of time with aspiration rewards

Photography - I hate that leveling it means spamming my screenshot folder

Research and Debate - I've yet to find a use for this? I barely send anyone to university though so maybe that's why but even went I have spent a little time there, I've never had a sim need it.

Video gaming. Because the sims can play games on their phones, every sim I have ends up with this skill whether I want them to have it or not. :lol:

The only use for the skill is to get your Aspiration for Uni. If you don't have that Aspiration, you don't need it. At all. I guess they couldn't think of anything else to stop you from breezing thru the Aspiration, so they had to invent a skill for it? I wish it was used in the Politician and Attorney careers for example.
