Gaining skill points - the dating way!
Swiftgold:
Apologies if this has been discussed already, but I did a search and didn't see it.
I sent a teen on two dates in a row, as he had two bolts with each girl and wanted to date both, so I figured I'd see which one went better. At the end of the second date, which ended up being a Dream Date, as they had their goodbye kiss I got this popup, which I had never seen before.
Looking at the personality of his date, it seems she's... actually kind of a slob, with a Neat of 3. So... is this totally random? If it is, there's probably a chance, then, of that bug that happens when you get a skill point via chance card and you already have 10 skillpoints?

Humm I notice that Sims will spontinously clean dishes on downtown community lots now, even the one we do not control. So if they went to a restaurant and the server would have been slow to clean-up, often our Sim will take over and clean it themselves.
Did you notice if he clean up dirty plates before you saw that message? It could explain why you got that pop-up message.

He didn't, no... I was keeping him busy fulfilling his wants to get his Dream Date, so he was just talking/flirting/etc, all the normal date stuff. Watching one of my red-aspiration Knowledge Sims make yet another enemy... I am so installing that "less autonomous fighting" hack.
I have noticed they will clean up a lot more, though. I took a family downtown one night for kicks - yay for kids in the Crypt O'Night Club - and I had one hell of a time trying to keep them from cleaning up plates whenever they had a free moment.

To my understanding, you can randomly get skillups from either an outing or a date, and from my experience, the particular skill was determined by what skills your sim's date/outing partner had that were higher than your sim's. It's a comparison of skills rather than personality traits. If that's the case, that would help avoid going over 10 in any skill.

Ahh, that makes sense. The popup made it sound like it was based on personality, but I suppose it could be skill. Without checking I imagine she did have more cleaning points than him, as the free one was his first. Too bad it doesn't happen more often if your Sim is dating someone who's maxed out, say, or at least has a lot more skill points in comparison. They'd be suddenly in high demand for the free "learning". *grin*
