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?

    Hi! Could you please tell me, if I play with mods, can I still send the save file? I removed all the mods, cleared the cache, even repaired the game, but the problem with the fast skill gain remains. My kid played on the tablet and in 40 Sim-minutes leveled up one video gaming skill, even though in MCCC I have the skill gain speed set to -50 (the maximum slowdown).

    KsankaSims​ if you tested without, yes. 

    I don't know when I have time for it and it's already under investigation with EA so hopefully they find out what the issue is.

  • Okay, something new. Don't know if it will help but MCCC came out with a new update. Remember, both with and without mods, the skills were going light speed but I was testing out a new idea, so I started a new save. This time, my sims skill did not go up at all. I was confused until I remembered that I had set MCCC skill difficulty to -50 which makes it so slow. After three hours of reading a book, they hadn't even gotten 1% of the skill. 

    So I went to MCCC and changed it to -10. In one and a half game hours it's gone up 4%. Like I said, don't know if it helps but yesterday -50 skill difficulty did not stop it from going nuts, today it works to slow the skill gain. Like I said, I don't know if it will help but since it is something different, I thought you should know.
