Why aren't the sims 2 ds skill points not showing up?

In "The Sims 2" for DS, skill points may not appear due to a few common reasons. First, ensure that your Sim is actively engaging in activities that build those skills, as they may take time to register. Additionally, check if your game is experiencing a glitch or bug; restarting the game or reloading a save can sometimes resolve display issues. Lastly, make sure you haven't reached the maximum limit for skill points, as this could prevent further points from being displayed.
