Remove Skills ?

Anyone know if there is a way to remove skills ? My Sim got a few skills I didn't want her to get & she is at level one I want to take them away.
Don't know how she did it because I never saw her do programming or play the violin.

    I'm not sure, but what about the skill cheat and set it at 0. I don't know if that will remove it completely, I've never tried. I'm not familiar with the skills cheat as I never use them.

    From Carl's
    With testingcheats on, type Stats.set_skill_level major_handiness 10 - make handiness 10. Note the Major_ before the skill name. If you did this, you'd see the level 10 popup. If you want to see what unlocks with each level, read the linked guide or adjust it by 1 each time so that you can see information on each new level. Here are all the skills in Sims 4, which you can cheat to max. Beside each, there's a link to the associated Skill Guide so that you can learn how to use it!

    To max all cheats quickly, copy stats.set_skill_level major_ and paste it into your command console in-game. Finish the command with the skill, then the level. This doesn't work for fitness so you need to copy that line. Remember Photography caps at 5.

    I've been able to get skills down as low as 1 this way, but not to 0.

    I noticed my Sim has a few skills at level one. I never made her do those things so wondering how she got them & I'd like to remove them completely if possible.
    If I can't remove them I'll just have to discourage her from pursuing them. They are already at level one.

    re-read it & got an understanding of it but do you know if it will totally remove the skill or reducing to level 1 the only option ?

    I really don't know. You can try putting the level at 0, but like I said, I don't use skills cheats, so I have no clue if it will work or not.

    alright thank you for the information.
  • AimiexoxoAimiexoxo Posts: 396 Member
    Anybody know a solution? I'm also curious about this!
    Hello! I'm new to creating Sims and Houses but I do my best. I like them simple and without the use of CC, but I may add SOME CC like hair and make-up only! If you want to check it out, my origin Username is Aimiec1233, thank you.

    The solution is to use the cheat and set the skill level to 1. After you do that you will see the bar drop all the way back and after you keep playing it will remove it (as long as you don't have them engage in using that skill).

    The only way I know how to do this is with the MC Commander mod. There's an option to Forget Skills.

    I think I used MC to remove my sim's fishing skill. She had reached level 10 and I realized one fish was missing from the collection. It was one that is found at the lower skill level so I had her start over.

    @SimzSizzle I have found if I AGE a sim down (in CAS) to Toddler or child, put it in-game then save it to my collection, I can age them back up in CAS re-set up the outfits ect and they wont have any skills anymore... I wont/ don't bother with cheats myself. Has always ruined games for me in the past... I want to keep enjoying Sims 4, so I play it safe lol.

    just an update

    testingcheats true
    stats.set_skill_level Major_Gardening 0

    (or any other of the skills from the list above)
    it does work, it removes the skill but only after saving & reloading the game again


    i won't be participating in the forums & the gallery anymore - thanks EA

    I haven't seen a way to do it legit, but I could totally see that as an awesome Vampire ability. The ability to remove a skill from someone and the Vampire has the choice. That might mess with careers tho and other dependencies, but that's for the devs to figure out, lol. I just think it would be a neat power for vampires to have.
    I use no mods or CC and I repair my game after every time I play.

    The IUCheats mod can be used to set skills at 1, they will then disappear from the list.

    If you use the cheats then save and quit the game, usually the skill disappears after re-opening the game
