The one thing about any version of Sims games is that they have quirks that seemingly make it impossible to accomplish certain tasks. The help sites rarely give enough details to explain how to make something work correctly.

Perhaps this blog will answer some of those mysteries, over time. Some strategies that help earn that Gold award on events or skill up quickly before your Sim dies of old age.
It will be a work in progress, over time.
