I'm not sure if this is the problem. But I've found that when I enable that cheat, I'm usually not able to adjust the skill values. I have to leave the lot, come back, and try again. Then it usually works. Hope this might help.
That cheat is one of the developer cheats that allowed Maxis to force situations. I suspect that it is not a "robust" feature ... meaning that if you use it a lot you run the risk of creating instabilities or inconsistencies in the games database tables. Have you tried exiting from the game and restarting it? Do you start the game with boolprop testingcheatsenabled true set as standard or set it immediately after starting the game? Try playing without for a while then see if it works again after a period of normal play.
