@606531652W166 Could you post a video of that ?

Is this an existing save/Sim or a new one ?

As you can see when starting the "experiment" action, the full bar changes to empty - without adding a point. In the process it fills up slowly, and at some point it does so rapidly. The situation repeatsover and over again.

 

Sims is a new one.

I have two spellcasters in my household. I have had this same problem happen a few times, do not know what causes it but I reloaded a backup and then it happened to my other sim and not the one who it happened to first time through.

It's so out of sync. Like it can go up, and down, and think you're lower but bar shows higher. It refunds points as it goes down, then you have to read books or experiement to rank up again so you can place them back. It's an utter mess.

I have the same problem, but every time I load the save file, it gets transferred between my Spellcaster Sims. In one household I've got two and it's random to whom it appears. In another househould I've got four and so far it's appeared to only one of them. I don't know what causes is and how to fix it. I tried to reset the perks and buy different ones, but that didn't help.

It's part of the same problem mentioned here. https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/WORKAROUND-ROM-Spellcaster-Level-Reset-for-Sims-with-Ancient/m... Once the bar breaks what you experiencing will happen. They found the issue once it's patched your problem should go away as well. Unfortunately once it happens its broken so you will have to use a previous save. A Tip in the meantime that works for me is making sure not to have the magic tab, spell book or anything to do with magic open while actively level your magic. Keep them closed till you see the points appear then stop all training and choose your spell traits then close your spell book etc before training again.

I have this exact same problem. Once my sim overmaxs her magic it brings her down to Neophyte Spellcaster and I have to go through the Master and Virtuoso ranks to get her perks back. Despite having all the perks.
