Skill going up way too fast

Hello,

Sorry for the lack of tags but not exactly sure what to take this as.  I did check and used search to see if this was mentioned and I didn't see it but skill gain is faster than the rocket ships now in game. After EbN came out, I did not re-enable my mod, I played the game vanilla for a while, worked through the new packs career, just chill play. In the first day, I almost maxed out the Natural living skill. Thought it was only that skill, but within an in game month, normal life span, my sim managed to max out a good perhaps twenty skills. 

Unmodded

And most of those skill didn't take a full game day to finish. So I was glad when I finally re-enabled my mods because I figured I could use MCCC to slow down skill gain, it's at -50, so 5X slower.  Today, new game, modded game, with the -5X setting: My sim already has gardening 9. He collected maybe 20 plants and planted 15.... 

Game starts 8AM Sunday, it's 3:20 A Monday  and my sim Maxed out Mischief and Cooking, Gardening 9, Painting, 7, Gemology/Comedy/Charisma 6;; Natural living/Handiness 4. Let me say that I have not foraged once in this save game nor bathed nor slept rough.

Maybe a decimal got moved somewhere?

  • Please always choose tags for platform and mods, these are the most important infos to give.

    You can find more info on this here: General Information About The Bug Reports Forum | EA Forums - * 

    As for your issue, did you already try renaming your user folder and tested on a new one ?

    - Close the game
    - Rename Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old
    - Repair the game
    - Start the game. All your content will be gone now as the game created a new folder. All your saves/.. is still in the old folder so not to worry. 
    - Start a new save game
    - Check if you still have the error
    - Report back with your results for further steps on how to get your stuff back.

    Okay, did that. New Sim, new game, new all over. Gardening from 0 to 1, I had him plant plots, and he got half way through the 7th, so that's 30 plants. Making two Gnomiversary Gnomes made him almost finish  level 1, one bluebell arrangement did 40% of Flower Arranging not sure if it's supposed to be like that ::shrug:: I don't often do flower arranging.

    24 Large Classics to get to Level 8, it took me 1 to go from level 1 to 2 and a bit. I know it takes more than 1 painting to up a skill level.  and he is not an artist.  Foodie, noncommittal, social awkward.

    That's def odd.

    What traits did you give the Sim ? What lot traits do you have ?

    For me it still seems like it was before but there is the occasional report.

    He's a socially awkward noncommittal foodie. He likes in 17 Culpepper House and to eliminate outside factors, I chose no lot traits there are only gremlins lot challenge
