gym bug / Athletic Skill

[jrrs]

i'm playing on xbox360

afaict the workouts i do in the gym have been increasing my Athletic Skill.  i didn't know this bug existed until minutes ago, and i haven't been keeping scientific track of the character's Athletic Skill progress(ion), but i barely do workouts at home, do almost all of them at the gym, and just got to level 9.

http://www.carls-sims-3-guide.com/skills/athletic/ asks one to notify the forum if fixed, so it seemed relevant to mention.

Welcome to the forum.
I'm quite confused by what you are trying to say. Are you saying that athletic skill rising while doing workouts in the gym in a bug? Because, on the computer version of the game, that's meant to happen. I don't see why that would be different in the console version. Using gym equipment in any place will increase your athletic skill.

I think Jrrs means that doing workouts at the gym does increase Athletic skill on the Xbox 360 version of the game. In the original article, Carl means that it is supposed to increase the rate of gaining the skill, but it decreases the rate. It may be different on the Xbox 360, since the guide is for PC.

Welcome jrrs and thank you for trying to share some information.  However, your post is written poorly and we can't understand what you're saying.  Everyone must use proper English on our Forum, so please come back and tell us again what you're saying.

@ Pam - afaict is an abbreviation - AFAICT = As Far As I Can Tell, if that's causing confusion.

I think what I have on the guide is right for the PC version. We have a bug where you're not gaining Athletic skill faster working out at the gym, as Chronic said. Thanks for letting me know, but the truth is we don't know for sure that you see increased gains at the gym on the console version, either. You can make it to level 10 going to the gym, but you'd do it faster at home. It would be more time consuming to test on a console.
