Serving one's sentence, for crimes, results in loss of "progress towards one or more skill level advancements; the longer your sentence, the more skills so affected. The maximum sentence is seven days; if you serve seven days, your skill advancement will be cleared for every skill."
It's not that the skill's level is set back to the minimum value or 1 or 0 or anything like that, but the XP progress from the current level to attain the next skill level will be reset. How do I get such an effect without serving a sentence?
Best Answer
You cannot. The only way to reset your skill progress without modifying the game via mods and/or console commands is to serve your jail sentence.
