Re: [MODS/CC RELATED] New Sim Profile/Sentiment Panel not working

@abcQ9Sh53QaL4R

The panel appears mostly blank?  It will open once, maybe twice, after that it will completely refuse to open? Even exiting to the main menu and loading a new save, it will still refuse to open? Only completely closing the game and re-loading, it'll do the same thing?

Same thing happened to me.

This will happen if you have any Trait mods. All trait mods were broken with this latest patch. Mine did the exact same thing until I removed them all.

Make sure to remove ALL trait mods and clear the game's cache files. It should work properly again. It did in mine.

    @abcQ9Sh53QaL4R No problem! I knew about this because I had the exact same problem as I said, I had two trait mods, All Traits in CAS and SanMyshuno: Become Human, both are basically trait mods. Once I removed them both, everything worked properly.

    I just fixed mine this morning.
  • I will try this on mine but I don't think that's my issue. I can't find the sim profiles at all.

    I only replied on this one as I am hoping that the trait mods that I have are the issue and following what you have said will work.

    @K-Popper95 If you don't see the "Sim Profile" option at all, then that's a different problem. Sounds like the patch didn't even get installed.

    With broken trait mods, the menu option is there, it just opens a broken profile window a couple of times, then refuses to open at all.

    This has seemed to fix my issue so far. Ill keep playing to see if the issue pops up again. But removing trait mods worked.

    I have the same issue ... I don't have any trait mods installed, however, the sim profile option won't show up when I click on a sim in the relationship panel. 

  • @Psychotps Thanks for pointing this out. I'm so used to my custom traits that I had forgotten all about them. My game is working perfectly now!

    Hello guys,

    i have a similar issue with my game, but i'm not able to see the option 'Show profile' at all. The funny thing is when i select a dog in my family, then the option is there. 🐶

    I removed all of the custom traits in my mods-folder but nothing has changed. I updated some of the script mods and am still looking for the culpit. Any idea which mod it could be? I have MCCC, [snip, removed names of NSFW mods] (all updated so far) some of KawaiiStacies and LittleMsSam, Lumpinou, Arnies Brookheights 0.41 and some smaller mods. What about aspirations?

    I would appreciate every little hint.

    @Aku970 Remove them ALL. Then test it and see if it works. If it works, you have a BAD MOD.

    Don't pick and choose. Remove ALL OF THEM and test. It's the only way to be sure.

    @Psychotps I already did remove them all and the game works just fine, so my problem is really to find this bad mod. I guess i will try the 50/50 method and add them one by one back after that. Thank you for your help.

    @Psychotps I have a 'gigantic' mods folder, so yeah...it's going to take a while.
    Thank you very much for the link, i will check it out right now. 👍🏻
  • Maybe this can be of some help, so for me it was Brookheights BETA 0.41 by Arnie. The rest of my mods is working just fine.

    Hopefully there will be an update soon. Happy simming!

    @Aku970 There are a LOT of mods on Luthien's list, would be a VERY good idea to go through them all and see which ones you have are updated. Some might still break things but may not be too obvious.

    I always keep an eye on that thread to see which ones are updated.
  • Does that mean we can't use custom traits anymore, or do we just have to redownload them?

    @HydraVenus Custom traits will work, they just all need to be updated for the patch. So, yes... that means you'll need to re-download them... as soon as they're updated.

    Profile Not Working/Responding

    I have Sims 4 loaded on two different computers. Both have identical mod folders. Computer A has a great deal more tray files than Computer B.

    Computer A is a Win 10 machine.

    Computer B is a Win 8 machine.

    Computer A started malfunctioning only a couple hours ago. Otherwise, all was fine. Tried again. Worked for two different sims. When activated with a third sim, only a name and a blank screen. When activated with a fourth sim, nothing worked.

    Computer B had no malfunction. I went through the entire family of 8 persons. The profile worked every single time.

    Ran RegHunter to find any anomalies. Normal stuff.

    Repaired game on Computer B. Profile worked until the sixth Sim in the family of six.

    Computer A: Family 1 has six persons. The profile works until the sixth member, a high schooler is selected. Family 2 has two active adults. Profile worked fine with several of their acquaintances. Family 3 has four members. First two Sims, no problem. Third Sim: problem. Family 4 has three Sims, but the Profile does not work. Thus, once it does not work for one Sim, Profile is “dead” for the entire game.

    Removed the entire Tray file from Computer A and replaced it with the entire Tray file from Computer B. This was to determine if any recently downloaded Sims were causing problems.  Computer A has 9,081 files; Computer B has 5,270 files.

    There was no affected change. The Profile stopped working when the high schooler from Family 1 tried to open the Profile on two new NPC Sims he had just met.

    Opened Family 5 (4 persons). Profile worked well. Returned to Family 1. I ran a Profile on every Sim in his Relationship folder except for the two newly introduced NPCs. However, I used the Grandfather to open a Profile on one of the NPCs, and it worked. However, when I returned to the high schooler, clicking on the same NPC as the Grandfather, the Profile malfunctioned.

    I can only conclude that there is some kind of glitch with the high schooler.

    BTW, I removed LittleMsSam’s Abortion and Miscarriage mods from Computer A but not from Computer B. I don’t believe LittleMsSam’s mods in this case are causing the problem.

    @serendiqiity I would think so. Any traits that would show up in the sim profile panel would corrupt it if they haven't been updated to the new trait format. I'm not sure about hidden traits tho. They might be effecting it too... depends upon how the profile panel is coded.

    I am having this issue, removed all mods, and repaired game, still having this issue.

  • I am having this issue and have never had mods. I repaired the game and still have problems with the profiles being completely broken. When I click on a known sim the profile either doesn't open and the loading screen music plays leaving me to play the sims as normal without any popup or the popup comes with just the traits and nothing else. Sometimes the popup will happen sometimes it won't but the traits are the only thing on it when it does happen. Again, I have never had any mods in this game and repaired it twice.

    I went in offline mode like another player suggested and the profiles work fine when offline. I guess for now I can switch to online when I need to use the gallery and then back offline. But its still a huge issue.

    I have been having this issue as well. All of my mods are up to date and I don't have any mods that people on here are suggesting that are the cause of the problem. I did what some people are suggesting to do and that is to go offline.

    It worked. So I'm led to believe it's, once again, a bug. For me, there is no other explanation. Though I'm sure it will never be fixed, because let's face it, it won't.

    This just started happening to me after the latest update. Nothing happens when I click ‘open profile’ in the relationship panel and all I hear is loading music. It was working fine when I started the game about two hours ago then all of a sudden it stopped working.

    The only mod I have is MCCC. I will try remove it and see what happens.

    Same here. I've been having the issue for months. All of my mods are updated, only have four of them. I've taken all my mods out, done a clean install and started a new save. The profile will open for me just once and then after a few minutes of game play, it no longer opens. I've tried it with multiple families, different saves, it's the same thing.

    I recently tried offline mode and it did the same thing. The profile opened once and then it wouldn't open again.

    I'm not really sure why this happens. After Snow Escape the sentiments profile worked perfectly for me. It didn't stop working for me until a few patches ago.

    As stated I have no trait mods of any kind and even with a new save with no mods, the profiles stop working.

    I hope it'll get fixed in a patch at some point but idk if enough people have this issue or if I'm just unlucky.
