Re: [FIXED] Toddlers not receiving Top Notch/Happy Toddler traits on aging up

Product: The Sims 4
Platform: PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? 100% of the 4 saves I've used.
What is your current game version number? 1.96.365.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Age a toddler up with maxed skills (mine had top notch infant, but as far as my understanding is the two traits do different things)
What happens when the bug occurs? Toddler does not receive Top Notch Toddler
What do you expect to see? Top Notch Toddler reward trait.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now, I removed them before I started the save.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Unsure, just noticed it after the baby update but I don't normally play with babies/toddlers/children.

As far as I know, the top notch infant trait has to do with confidence, and the top-notch toddler trait helps gain skills faster. So one shouldn't be replacing the other, but maybe I'm wrong?

    I'm also having this issue. Not sure if a new thread should be created or not.  Can't seem to find anything indicating if someone has the top notch infant trait that you also can't get top notch toddler?  The only mod I have installed is one that fixes the order in which toddlers learn shapes, letters and numbers since the game has them out of order.

    My toddler had all skills at max level.  He is from a wizard bloodline, but otherwise had no other traits.  I have never had this problem before.

    Cheating the traits works for me but it's annoying to have to remember to do it.

    It happens to me too!

    I observed that sometimes the level-up notification doesn't appear at all, so if it happens from level 3 to 4, then the level-up notification won't appear when the toddler get the level 5. I wonder that you actually have and see a full level 5 toddler, but sims 4 does not consider him at all like that, so it does not give him the reward trait.

    Facing the same issue here! All my saves with the same problem. I have sims from two different generations, one before the last update not receiving the trait, one after the last update also not getting the trait.

    @EA_Mat, can any of you give us an update or solution?

    This bug is still happening to me. I'm able to add the trait to the child afterwards via cheat codes, but as a family-style/legacy player I'm honestly sick of it. What's the point of challenging yourself to raise your toddlers' skills before they age up if I'm just going to have to cheat the trait in anyways?

    Thanks Sims 4 Team for yesterday patch and for the house ranch Ep! There is still this annoying bug to fix, isn't it? I just want to bring it again to your attention. Thanks again.

    I just don't understand how we got the pack Growing Together and yet this is still not improved.

    @rma209 Me personally, I only have this bug since Growing Together. I'm pretty sure the toddler overhaul completely broke the old reward traits. I thought maybe this is even intentional and the new toddler aspirations work as a replacement for the old gameplay - but since we're talking about TS4 here, it's probably more likely that this was just another oversight never to be fixed again
