    I have the same problem ☹️ My teen is having this bracelet since forever already, and it sticks on her wrist without an option to remove. The bracelet was broken in her inventory, and i was able to remove it there, but on the wrist it kept staying. I'm also playing with aging off.

    My work-around to get rid of it: I used MCCC, clicked on my Sim with the stuck bracelet, MC CAS - Manage Traits - Remove trait - then search for the one that has bracelet in the name, and remove that one. Once i confirmed the bracelet was finally gone. 

    I feel like it must have something to do with aging off, or potentially with the fact that I play rotationally?

  • Can't tell if this is a bug or a feature. If it's a feature it's an insanely stupid one. The game should give you an option to remove them. My sim wearing a rainbow friendship bracelet her brother made for her when they were kids on her wedding day is just silly.

    MCC seems to have removed the ability to see a list of all traits. I remember this being a thing but now it only gives me the option to enter a trait name in manually. I don't suppose you know exactly what the trait name was for me to type in?

    Edit: Managed to fix this by downloading Lumpinou's Sim Info Manager and removing the hidden trait.

    Since Crystal Creations I'm also finding this problem too, the jewellery that needs to be taken on/off is getting stuck and I have MCC and it keeps throwing exceptions at me because of the jewellery having errors and not removing/showing up properly.

    @crinrictI dont have cc or mod and havent forever and I definitely have this issue. I do not remember when it happens, but after crystal creation would be my guess... because the friendship bracelet suddenly showed as wearable items, just like the jewelry from that pack... I destroyed the one my sims was wearing and nothing happen, she still has it as teenager. I had her grow up as adult and she still has it. You cant see it in CAS, only in live mode. While in CAS, I placed another bracelet from the gothic galore kit, on the same wrist and it shows as normal in CAS, but as soon as I get back in live mode, she is stuck with the friendship bracelet on, and we cant see the other bracelet I gave her in CAS.

    I don't think it has anything to do with either of those because I have a sim having the same problem and I play with aging on (albeit a different number of days than the base game lifespan through MCC) and I only play her. She's had her bracelet since she was a child and she's a young adult now.

  • I am having this same problem with Crystal Creations. I sold the earrings I made but the game thinks my sim is still wearing them.
