What is your least favourite skill?

photography because you have to take a million pics to level it up. plus i have to go through my sims folder and delete the 5 snapshots i had to take in game to just get 2 decent ones.

also herbalism well i never really got into that skill.

I cheat.

The level of skill depends on what my sims are good or bad at when they start off. If a low level of skill - any skill - suits the sim’s personality and the narrative, a least favorite doesn’t exist for me. I’m willing to do the work regardless.
I will however always start from level 0 when a pack comes out that offers a new skill.

Definitely herbalism, just because it takes sooo long to find the right plants and bugs to do anything useful, it drives me crazy. So now I pretend its not there. Its a shame though, it just feels unplayable.

I have the same issue with herbalism. I never have the ingredients to make any potions. I've added a few grills to a community spaces lot and now I just collect the destressing concoctions left behind by other sims.

I think the one I like the least is Mischief because it kind of comes off as more mean than funny. I also find Charisma and Fitness to be pretty dull to level esp when your sims keep getting distracted and stop for the zillionth time. I usually cheat Singing, Piano and Violin skills up high enough not to grate, I can't take them at the low levels. ;)

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.

Must try both of these. They sound fun! :D

Mine's probably the Mischief skill too but only because I've not used it much until now.

My Sims all need Charisma and Logic, but levelling them can be a grind. Plus not all my Sims have chess sets.
Fishing seems to take forever to get started with every Sim. I keep it for a select few and no one has gotten good at it, yet.

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

I'd have to go with Mischief -- my Sims aren't usually the type to enjoy that sort of thing. Haven't really done much with Herbalism to judge how well that goes.

Yeah I think this is the one for me, too. I am just not interested in learning it, my Sims are always good people and I always stop them from doing mischief interactions.

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.

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.

Ahhh! Ok! Thanks for that, at least I know now that's there's something for it. I've clearly never bothered to play through that aspiration. I was also expecting it to be used in the new careers with that pack and was a little surprised to find it unneeded.
