The Sims TeamHello.
Would someone be willing to share an affected (unmodded) save from before the age up occurs?

This happened to me too. I don't use mods. Here's a link to my save file before I aged my two oldest adult teens up.

I have to ask, because I provided EA with a detailed report on what's happening and they ignored it, but are you aging your sims up on SUNDAY? I have found that through my testing on this bug that any teen that ages up on Sunday will have this issue. I experience this issue with no mods installed, but with MCCC installed it solves the problem of the missing trait. However, you may notice that you are not gaining character values. There is a an issue with the coding dealing with the high school pack which is causing this issue. It's due to hastily putting out scripts before they are tested. I have determined that EA has no test environment, We are their testers. We are the team that finds and reports bugs. We should be getting PAID to do this for them. I've already offered my services as a retired DBA. I would bet my life that I could do a much, much better job at finding issues than what EA has been doing.
Again, confirm the day of the week, as most likely it is Sunday that's causing this issue.

Just wanted to place this here for folks in case it helps: this bug seems to happen in my save when I age a teen sim up before their "actual" birthday. When I've tried to use a birthday cake to age a teen up and they still have, for example, 10 days left on their age counter, the no age up traits bug seems to occur. When I wait for the same teen Sim to get to "0 days left" on their age counter, then use a birthday cake to age them up, it works and I'm able to select/generate a trait as usual! I know it's not a full fix, but it might work for you if you're desperate like I was. Not sure what the correlation/causation situation is there but its been working for me....
I've shared a new unmodded save as requested earlier in the thread, too, so I hope it helps!
Playing the Sims 4 on my PlayStation and the 3rd traits do not always appear. Got the trait on my first teen when aged up but none since. Second tried a cake but nothing and 3rd forgot their birthday since was busy doing an event and they also did not get a third trait when they aged up. First teen who got a trait is what I am playing now, and family is non played now so will check to see if the fourth when becomes a young adult will get a 3rd trait.
