No Ring Category in CAS for Children or Toddlers

Question

Product: The Sims 4Platform:PCWhich language are you playing the game in? EnglishHow often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)What is your current game version number? 1.106.148.1030What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All Expansions, All Game Packs, All Stuff Packs except Crystal Creations, Two kits - Desert Luxe Kit and Industrial Loft Kit.Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go into CAS, create or modify a child or toddler sim.What happens when the bug occurs? There is no ring category available for children or toddlers. Under the accessory menu only the bracelets, gloves, fingernails, toenails, leggings and sock categories are available - NO RING CATEGORY at all. it does not appear as an option.What do you expect to see? I expect a ring category for children and toddlers in CASHave you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure&nbsp;‌To be clear about custom content/mods.&nbsp; I completely and entirely removed my Sims 4 folder from my Documents/Electronic Arts/ directory, put it on a removable hard drive and unplugged the removable hard drive.&nbsp; I started this game with&nbsp; NO SIMS 4 folder - gone (so no mods folder and no localthumnailcache even existed.&nbsp; NO FOLDER. NO FILES).&nbsp; I then started this brand new game, was prompted to create a family, and created a child in this brand new family in this brand new game. In this brand new install of the sims 4 folder, the child sim had NO RING CATEGORY under the accessories category of CAS, so I exited the game (directly from CAS without saving it) and restarted my computer.&nbsp; I then opened the EA app and performed a repair on my Sims 4 game.&nbsp; Next, to be thorough, I deleted the mods folder and the localthumnailcache file that had been created when i started the game before&nbsp; my computer reboot and game repair.&nbsp; I then went back into this brand new game and the ring category of the accessory category for children is NOT THERE. nor is it there for toddler, but it is there for infants - although the fingernail and toenail categories are not.&nbsp; This is a regular sim child (not a supernatural) that was randomly generated by the game in CAS. Attached are three screenshots of this newly generated sim - one is the sim as a child showing no ring category in CAS,&nbsp; the second is the same child as toddler - again no ring category, the third is the same child as an infant - here you can see the ring category right below the glove category where is should be - even though no rings are available to the infant. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. ty in advance.

Could it be that there just aren't (yet) any rings in the game for those age groups?

@mightyspritesims&nbsp;There aren't any rings for infants. Doesn't make sense for the category to be available for them then.&nbsp;

Thanks so much for your quick response.&nbsp; I am aware that EA has not released any rings for children or toddlers as of yet, however, as i mentioned in the OP and as other responders pointed out, infants don't have rings either, yet the game does have a ring category for them.&nbsp; The customary way the game works is that if the subset you are querying has no fitting criteria, instead of a catalog of items you get a message in red that says something to the effect of no items were found using the search criteria - try different filters. Either way, the problem here is not that the items are not available.&nbsp; I discovered this problem before removing my mods when i was trying to filter for CC that does fall under the ring category for children.&nbsp; I was able to find the CC under the blanket Accessory category, and it was working fine.&nbsp; I was able to equip it and use it etc..&nbsp; The "ring" items are there, working fine and are usable, but there is no way to filter for them using the subcategory of rings. You may be surprised to learn that quite a few accessories used in poses (such as balloons, lollipops, cupcakes, noise makers, books, deco cell phones etc.) are cataloged by their creators under the ring category (both for adults and children/toddlers).&nbsp; For a player (like me) who does a lot of building and creating still life scenes using poses this category becomes relatively important because at any given time I can have dozens or even hundreds of CC items that are cataloged as Accessories and without being able to break them down into sub categories (such as rings) searching through those entries can be time consuming and frustrating. The ring category is used so much by CC creators because it allows multiple regions to be used for various items so you can slot an open book under left ring finger while slotting a closed version of the same book under right ring finger - both should be able to be found by looking under rings, but with the rings category missing, I am looking though all of the accessories I have for children altogether (bracelets, gloves, rings etc.) in one long list for the ring slotted items.
