Spare Sims can be sold at the Black Market, they will even show interest in them from time to time. This is an odd occurrence because the store info page of PCS Chips clearly states that the people working for the black market have little use for them though it is possible they are purchasing them to resell. Upon a soldier's promotion, the Will bonus from a Focus sim is applied before the game checks if the cap of 100 has been reached, and if it has, that soldier gains no increase to Will. Therefore, using a Focus sim before max rank can be detrimental.
For example, a +20 Focus sim is applied to a low-level soldier, which eventually reaches maximum rank and very likely has Will capped at 100. At that point, swapping the Focus sim for a different type (such as Perception) leaves that soldier with 80 Will. The Guerilla Tactics School Integrated Warfare upgrade works retroactively, and will boost a PCS that has already been applied to a soldier.Bugs. There was a bug where soldier's stats could be raised by repeatedly swapping sims; it worked on Aim, Will and Dodge with the last sim the soldier used boosting the relevant stat by 1 when swapped.

The bug/exploit can be avoided by in the Geoscape or (embarking on a mission) before saving the game. There's also a which can deduct incorrectly applied buffs and restore their PCS modules to inventory.
