Mention of a Woohoo Skill in The Sims 4, first appeared in issue 4 of The Sims Official Mag. Even then we had doubts about the information coming out of the magazine, and I was able to get confirmation from SimGuruGraham that the skill was indeed real.
@SimsVIP The Woohoo Skill is indeed a real thing 🙂

Today, SimGuruGrant confirmed that the skill has been removed from the game, and SimGuruGraham has give us an explanation for the change.
@Sorayavindt Ooo, the new deaths are fun. But, no, I'll need to save those. There isn't a WooHoo skill.

@SimsVIP It was cut from the game since we originally talked about it. Lots of things shift during the development of a base game 🙁

@SimsVIP For a bit it was changed to a hidden skill, then removed entirely. People weren't comfortable with the implications and our rating.

@swwSims @SimsVIP It wasn't about our schedule, it was about people not being comfortable with including that content in our game.

@SimsVIP It was actually called the Romance skill for a period of time as well. The content just didn't fit with the game we're building.
