Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? The most current update
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All packs except Star Wars
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Aging up teen sims
What happens when the bug occurs? It’s only in my main save file. But when I age up a teen sim they don’t get the graduation notification, or the options for a third trait and aspiration change.
What do you expect to see? For my sim to age up normally into a young adult.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

‌

I’ve tried a new game and the teens aged up normally there and in the save file that’s not working right; young adults age up like they should. I just want to play my legacy file.

@capnmaria I've merged your reports with the bug report like the one from Wednesday.

You can just click me too on existing threads if you have the same issue as someone else. It's easier to keep track for Maxis if there's just one thread per issue.

    There’s been no update since November on this thread. And no hint at a problem being solved.

      @capnmaria It's still an open issue so just adding to this thread is fine. Would also be good if you send your save to SimsDirect as asked above.

        Just happened to me. Twin teens, both aged up to YA without a cake, no pop up came up for either of them, no opportunity to select traits/aspiration/etc. Wouldn't have known anything happened if I didn't hear the birthday chime.

        Thinking it was a glitch related to them being forced to age up by running out of time, I used fulleditmode to age them back down to teenagers and tried aging them up again with a birthday cake. Same thing happened with both. Didn't happen when either of their older siblings aged up to YA, but I think(?) it happened when their brother aged up from YA to Adult the ingame day before? I just didn't really pay attention because there's no trait or aspiration changes for that birthday so it didn't really matter.

        At first I thought it might be related to this latest pre-life and death patch, because these 3 birthdays are the first ones in my game since that patch, and birthdays were working fine for me at the previous patch level (they have an infant niece who got the pop up just fine), but now I see it appears to be a much older glitch?

        Anyway, yeah, here to say Me Too, and ask if there's any way to stop it doing this or do I just have to abandon that household now?

      I found the cause of this problem. It's all about the high school achievement checkbox, if there is one, then the sim does not get the third trait. I hope my answer is clear and can help someone. I do not know English and will send with an interpreter.

        I partially understand. Which achievement checkbox?

      Almost two years since you said this and it's STILL an issue..... I've aged up two sims from teen to adult this week and got no third trait.

        @FeliciaJane1203 This workaround is my least favorite bandage since it only addresses the third trait, but I believe if you do the following you can add the sim's 3rd trait via the cas.fulleditmode cheat, after aging from teen to young adult:

        1. Activate testing cheats
        2. Activate the CAS full-edit mode cheat by adding this in the cheat box and pressing enter:
          cas.fulleditmode
        3. If that doesn't work for you it's laid out more step-by-step here.

        Then, after you have activated the cheat, you can open the teen in CAS (just right click the teen or use a mirror), and you should see a blank third trait on them that you can choose to fill.

    I wasn't sure what comment to reply to but I'm having this issue too, I think only since the most recent update. I have a save file I can send where the sim has the sparkles on his age to age up but he's still a teen. There's also two other teen sims in the household.
