Teen's skills Disappears

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.46.18.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Level up a teen's skills and wait a few seconds and see if it all vanishes.
What happens when the bug occurs? The skills on my teen sims disappears.
What do you expect to see? My teens skills to remain after they gain them. 
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

My teen's skills all disappeared after they grew up from children. They have gained new skills since they became teens and the entire list of skills disappeared. One of them have a vampire lore skill, and that seems to be the only one that remains. I have tested the game with no mods/cc and the problem still occurs. I've tried removing mods/cc, resetting my folder, reinstalling the game and deleting the cache files.

  • No, the skills that they've gained as teens were disappearing. They've gained charisma, comedy, fitness and vampire lore reading the books and it all disappeared saying they have no skills, but they were still gaining more but it wasn't showing up. After ignoring it, the game seemed to have fixed itself.

  • Did you also test a new save to see if the same happens on a fresh save (for testing purposes ?)

    Misread post.

    See @simvasion post below.

    Children have different skills than teens and as long as you didn't get any of the teen ones while you were a child, then you'll loose them cause they are different. If you reached level 10 in the childhood ones, you get a head start for the teen ones.

  • Which skills in particular disappeared?

    Skills such as Social, Motor and Imagination are child only skills that cannot exist on teens and adults. They are supposed to disappear.

    Children can learn regular skills that last into adulthood such as Violin skill. Those are the skills that should stay when they age up.
