I have a sim in the Tech Guru career who had fulfilled all the requirement for promotion to Development Captain, her performance was maxed out, she had a programming skill of 5 and had spent her saturday making the 3 plugins she required. All she needed to do was show up for work on Monday.
Then I installed the patch,
Instead of needing to make 3 plugins she needed level 4 in video gaming and the game was not registering that she had any in this field (she was level 3). I got her to play on the computer to raise it to level 4. The game still didn't show in the employment window that she had any skill levels.
I checked the forum to see if anyone else had the same problem, people had and one way they found around it was to quit the job and the get again. I did that and she got a job one level below where she was. I used a cheat to get her to the level where she was. It took her four days to get promoted. She was spending the next weekend trying to get her video gaming high enough to get her next promotion when my game crashed and I was back to just before she quit her job.
This time I noticed how high her performance bar was and decided to send her into work the next day just to see what would happen. She got her promotion Monday evening even the job window was saying she didn't have a high enough skill.
So the moral of the story is if after the patch the game is saying that your sim doesn't have any skill levels in a new requirement for their career (when you know they do) don't anything drastic like quitting and rejoining a career to make a skill register just send then into work they will still get the promotion if their skill points and other requirements are high enough and after that their skills will register normally in the Job window.

The Road goes ever on and on And I must follow, if I can,
Until it joins some larger way,
Where many paths and errands meet.

Yep, I can confirm this as my experience as well. I loaded into a family with four adults and three of them didn't show their skills right under job requirements. They all got their promotions like they were supposed to, and on the next tier it showed fine.
I hope they fix this bug soon, it's making it really difficult to make progress.
