When one of my Sims earns a skillpoint (seems to only be when doing something practical ie. repairing or cooking instead of studying from a book) its' telling me the wrong kind of skill point was earned sometimes. Does it mean anything, or is it just standard bork? The actual point itself is awarded correctly, ie. the guy who was fixing the computer produces a pop-up saying he gained a cooking skill point for the meal he's prepared, but it's really a Mechanical point he received.
