I remember a few months ago reading somewhere that if a sim learns something, that knowledge would be able to be transfered to another sim somehow. Seems to me it was a dev who said it, but I'm not positive. Its possible it was an IDEA that was given to the devs but its also possible it was the devs tossing out their own hopes or goals for the game. Anyhow, its been so long I'm just not sure, I just recall reading about it, possibly at TSO-E. lol

It is one of the ideas for skill changes in the Wiki.
It is fairly easy to see how this rumor morphed from the posted announcements.....kinda like the old whisper game (we called it Telephone), where the message gets garbled with the retelling.
1.) They announce that all sims will get locks but only one sim will get the reinstated gifts.
2.) They announce the ability to chose a primary avatar to recieve future bonus money, card game and amnesty gifts.
3.) We can now transfer future benefits from being given to our 'oldest' to our 'primary' avatar.
Hand that all around a few times, and it morphs into: "...transfer skills points from one avatar to another..."
And that is how a rumor evolves.
