Every skill is set with the same pattern. First stats.set_skill_level, then the skill's code name, then the level. The tricky part is getting the code name right, because the Cooking skill's code name is HomestyleCooking, not Cooking. The generator on this page does that for you: Pick from the list and the command is ready. Children's and toddlers' skills use separate codes and lower level caps.
In this age group skills go up to level 5, while Potty ends at 3. The skills are Communication, Imagination, Movement, Thinking and Potty.

Skill cheats: Common questions
How do I max out a skill?
Just put 10 at the end of the command. For example, type stats.set_skill_level Major_Charisma 10 and the Charisma skill goes to the top, unlocking every interaction tied to it.
What is the code for the Cooking skill?
Major_HomestyleCooking for regular cooking and Major_GourmetCooking for gourmet dishes. The most common mistake is typing Major_Cooking; there is no such code and the command silently fails.
Do child and toddler skills use different codes?
Yes. For children they start with Skill_Child_ (Mental, Creativity, Motor, Social) and go up to level 10. For toddlers they start with Skill_Toddler_, the cap is 5, and the Potty skill ends at 3.
Can I lower a skill again?
Yes, just type a lower number in the same command. Type 0 and the skill resets completely, so you can start building your Sim up from scratch.
