Effortlessly Maxed Body Skill

My game is fully patched (to verify, just in case, I downloaded the most current patch from the EA website and tried). I have most of the AL director's cut. Which Shinies, in particular, are you referring to? Perhaps the basic question is whether Physiology is supposed to work like that? I despise the effect, but that doesn't mean it's not precisely what EA intended--I loathe a lot of what they do.
Well, that SHOULD have stopped happening, but there may be carryover effects left over from prepatch.

Also, speaking of shiny and loathing it, where is the code that disables platinum mood?
There isn't one? You can make your own, it is not difficult, but there is no Awesomeware for that.

In a separate issue I have a child that randomly, and for no reason, went permaplat. She has achieved only three LTAs and, last I looked, was a comfortable green and playing peek-a-boo with a younger sibling--not the stuff of epic achievement, I would think. Suddenly I get that annoying and fatuous popup that says she has reached all her goals and can die happy...
Although it does sound like your game is pretty buggered.

In SimPE I altered the values under Freetime to a more appropriate level, and removed the token from her memory. Back in Freetime that would have been enough to fix the problem, but not in AL. I repeatedly knocked her aspiration mood down via Merola's mirror to test. Within 5 sim minutes it was right back up. Obviously there is now another value to change, but I have no idea where to look.
Yeah, don't do that. I think your constant tampering in SimPE has exploded your neighborhood and it is now dying of internal bleeding.

Doesn't the Lot Debugger remove plat status?

Grants or revokes permanent platinum LTW status in a sim. Use for bugged
LTW satisfactions where status is not granted, to remove if you simply
don't like it, or because you're a cheating lamer.
PS: I think the patch fix for physiology just made it quit making *all* the skill gains too fast (if you'd learned physiology, every skill gain happened at that level). It still makes body gain fast, and that's what was intended. (I believe.)
J. M. Pescado:
No, the Physiology boost is only a percentage boost, it's not what was described here. That sounds like a holdover from the Physiology Smart Stacking.
Sagana:
Ah well I get that also then and just thought it was as intended. I've just not let my sims learn it, but maybe I should try with a new sim (not a holdover) and see how it differs.
croiduire:
None of my sims were holdovers. A brand new CAS sim in a fully patched game with recommended fss hacks in place studied physiology and maxed out body skill by pulling a few weeds. She had no body skill at all before that. My experience is typical. Since I've been trying to figure this out I've heard from dozens of players who have had the exact same thing happen--a single brief workout of any type is sufficient to effortlessly maximise the skill.
The Debugger only works for adults that went pemaplat by achieving their LTW. It doesn't even show up as an option for children that went permaplat by maxing out LTA. I was looking at the Slower Aspiration Benefits hack made by Doc Doofus, trying to figure out how to slow it further, but I'm not sure if it still works in AL/M&G at all.
In my ideal game, no aspiration points or benefits would even be possible until a sim became a teen. Then they'd get a single point, and additional points would accrete at a rate one tenth of the current default one. However, in a less-than-ideal world, I'd happily settle for wholly disabling the damned thing.
Where do I find the code for Physiology, and is there a way to undo the absurdity it causes once studied? Again ideally, I'd like it to boost body skilling speed by no more than 5 or 10% for no longer than 24 hours (rather like the temporary boost sims enjoy when they return from a vacation).
