Note about this:
Faster Skills (Shimrod) - try this instead for now: http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=568988
MC has Faster/Slower skills built in... changed a bit for 2.11.0, now it's a setting you enable, and then you can flag your ACTIVE sims with the Skill Rate Adjustment flag.
Applying it only works on your current ACTIVE household, it's not a flag you can set vicariously. But once a sim has the flag, they'll keep it, whether you play them, or mark them unplayed, or kick them back into the bin.
(Similar to how UNPLAYED sims keep their actor/target or same/opposite sex flags, whatever state they're in.)
