I have also noticed greening is needed alot more often. Skills degrading has always been based on sim age and how many skills that sim has. Older sims can have more skills that degrade slower than newer sims. Greening before was 45-50 minutes or so. Now? I am lucky to get 30 minutes. I am sure this is an issue lot owers have also seen since they have to cook more often and serenade visitors.

I am on the fence about this.
It seemed to me to be faster at first, too.
But when I tested with a fully green sim (initial log-in after being off-line overnight) at Logic (the most 'green friendly' skill with primo chess table and chair) I was surprised to see I got almost an hour. Subsequent greens produced far less time, tho (about 30 min).
Other skills were not as generous, with Creativity the worst.
Hmm.... now that I have put it in writing, I can see the trend more clearly - I agree that for the most part, it *is* faster.
