Townies Gain Skills

Allows unplayed Sims to gain skills over time.

Sul-sul!  Here's a utilitarian mod that fixes the problem of Townies not gaining skills when left unplayed.  This mod is Base Game Compatible.  

___________________________________________________

Features

  • All unplayed households will gain skill points each week based on the settings in the config file (default is guaranteed 3 points per week).
  • Sims will be more likely to gain skills that help them with their chosen careers, align with their personality traits, or liked activities.
  • Geniuses gain skills faster than other Sims.
  • All pack skills are included except Batuu - but your Sims will not gain skills for packs you do not own.

Config File

  • Choose how often your townies will gain skills by finding "Days" and selecting a number between 1 and 7 (the default is 3).
  • Choose the probability a sim will gain a skill by altering the percentage (default is 100%).
  • Enable or disable skill gain individually by using the included config file.  Open it in any text editor and change the skill to "False" to disable it.

Notes:

  • As a warning to rotational players, this mod will affect all households except the one currently being played, even if the Sims were previously played at some point.
  • This mod only recognizes in-game careers and skills.
