[ARCHIVED] [ROM] Spellcaster XP bar loads/unloads rapidly

I dont have any cc or mods but still got this problem bug thing with fluctuating charge and no talent point gain no matter what I do. Please tell me how to fix this? I have tried all the normal ways, restart, reboot of comp and game, repaired etc. Reload erc.

Hello there,

I hope you have fixed this issue by now. Here is what happened to me.

1. I had this issue and stopped playing.

2. I uploaded my Sims and had my GF test it on her PC and she managed to gain talent points normally.

3. I deleted my game and started a new one.

4. I then download my old Sims and guess what, I can gain talent point past Virtuoso now.

I know this is very circumstantial and you might not had uploaded your Sims, but I just want to provide some information. Hope it helps!!!

I'm seeing this currently on PS5. I made two spellcasters, both of them fill their xp bar, level and then don't get any points for having leveled, and then the next level is already full and then they will revert back a rank. They haven't progressed past the first rank even though their bars have filled many times.

I am having the same problem. Brand new save, no mods. Fully updated game. I have a video of the magic bar increasing and decreasing too.

Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

My spellcaster sim's daughter just became a teenager, so I had her ask her dad to teach her some magic. I went from Apprentice to Neophyte and didn't gain any points. I have read what is written in the two suggested links, but they do not address my problem.

Hey this seems to work for me!!!!!!!! dont know why they have not patched this yet but nice to know there is a work around!

Which steps exactly worked for you?

Your workaround just made my day, thank you so much for posting it! :D I was taking screenshots for a forum where I'm posting sort of a serial sort of story that I've just started there, and a Spellcaster is going to be a key character in it later. I hadn't played Spellcasters for a while, needed to get her up to Virtuoso during the setup for this part of it, and discovered this issue in the process. I was afraid I would have to delete her and put her back in the game! But working through your steps actually fixed it for me: thanks for saving my poor Sim, I spent half a day on creating her in CAS and finishing her house in Build Mode.
