Please use this thread going forward: Sims not gaining character values when aging from teen to YA | EA Forums - 11929017
I too noticed this recently when I aged up two teens, though it happened for me shortly before the Jan 17/23 game update.
Since I had some mods in my game, I rolled back to before my two teens aged up and moved my mods folder out and deleted my localthumbcache file. When I did that, the teens aged up with the appropriate character values & I didn't get any last exception reports in my Electronic Arts folder.
I then started adding some mods back, starting with the MCCC modules I use and it worked fine with only the MCCC modules in. However, as I added other mods in I had it happen a couple of more times, though one time it only happened to one of my two teens (i.e. one teen aged up with the appropriate character values and the second one didn't, and there was an MCCC last exception error when the second one aged up). So in my case I figured it was due to some mods I had in my game but perhaps there was more going on as it did seem a bit random and I wasn't able to pinpoint which mod was causing it (I don't use that many mods/no cc, mainly some MCCC modules and some bug fixing/game tweaking mods by LittleMsSam, Bienchen and Simvasion).
I do have all the packs and all kits by the Modern Menswear.
Best regards,
Jennifer
I, too, had experienced this issue in the past. It's why I now save before blowing out candles because usually a simple restart of the game resolved the problem. However, I am now experiencing this issue 100% of time without any mods installed. A repair of the game and deletion of files did nothing to resolve the issue at all. I use very few mods and no CC. I use MCCC and SNB Bills to keep sims from getting rich over time. I had determined that that this is not a mod issue, but I am curious as to whether or not it is tied to the issue of sims not receiving their third trait upon aging up to YA. The reason I state this is because with MCCC installed I only encounter the issue of not receiving character values, and without MCCC installed I do not receive character values nor do I receive the option for the third trait and the change in aspirations. Since there have been no reports on that issue since November I can't say for sure if the two are tied together. I am, however, going to spend this weekend testing out a few different ideas that I have to see if I can pinpoint if the two are related. I am also curious as to whether or not this is only applying to sims created before the most recent patch. This, and many other theories, will need to be tested before I can provide more information on what may be going on here.
