Open simology panel.What happens when the bug occurs? top of panel off top of screen, can not get to the drag bar to make it smaller.What do you expect to see? the top of the panel that has the drag section to raise and lower.Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? YesPlease describe the patch or change you made. started after November update was applied. After the November update, I cannot get to the top of my Simology panel to drag down (make smaller, or see new stuff added).

If you have enough traits to fill the Simology panel beyond the window height allowed by your monitors resolution, you will no longer find yourself unable to interact with the Simology panel. Also, your Sim is amazingly complex. Fixed in Patch 1.48.90

Does anyone know what preff file to delete to get it to reset to the shorter panel?
On Mac os 10.14.1

Current Status

Seems to only happen when there's a long trait list

Doesn't happen on all computers

Looks like this might be solved with the EP installed.

Currently more data needed. Please post your specs and resolution.

I also have this issue on my test sim with all the traits.
I have tried current virtual resolution (1600 x 900) as well as native resolution (1320 x 768), fullscreen and both windowed modes.
I just clicked switched to the Personality Panel but didn't manually expand the panel (even if I ahd, I wouldn't be able to expand beyond the top of the screen),
I'm on PC, Windows 10, latest patch, all expansions (barring GF, just yet).

@twmuse @Finchsim

Could you also post your resolution and system.

Are you all using laptops or desktop computers ?

Any info you guys can give. Maybe a screenshot of your graphics tab.

Thanks.

Could any of you create a thread in the bug forum: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/bd-p/The-Sims-4-Bugs

It uses a special template with valuable info. I'll merge this thread into the new one afterwards.

I just downloaded the new update for 11/13/18. Since the update my Simology panel has changed. My sim I have been playing the same one for years so after completing all of the careers, aspirations, etc... I have obtained nearly all of the traits in the game. The problem with that is that the scroll bar is not compatible with seeing above my traits now. For example I cant see how many days until my sim ages up so I can take more youth potion. Is it a setting or is this a bug from the new update? Please assist.
