This bug can be due to one of 3 reasons.
1. The Master Actor/Actress Aspiration was placed in the wrong category in CAS so it gives the wrong aspiration trait which is the Muser trait.
2. The Muser trait is broken. The description states: Musers get better boosts to their skills when they're inspired. When looking at the game files for this trait, the Muser trait only gives skill gains to creative skills when inspired or very inspired. See code below:
<V t="effective_skill_modifier">
<U n="effective_skill_modifier">
<V t="skill_tag" n="modifier_key">
<E n="skill_tag">Skill_Creative</E> The trait is set to Skill_Creative not Skill_All
</V>
<T n="modifier_value">3</T>
</U>
</V>
<V t="autonomy_modifier">
<U n="autonomy_modifier">
<L n="skill_tag_modifiers">
<U>
<E n="key">Skill_Creative</E>
<T n="value">1.6</T>
3. The Acting skill does not have the correct tags set so it gets a boost from the Muser trait. See code below:
<T n="mood_id">14634<!--Mood: Mood_Confident--></T> Mood is set to display a boost on Confidence. The Muser trait is not set to boost Confidence.
The Skill_Creative tag is missing so the Muser trait is not boosting this skill. Plus, the Confidence boost is just the general boost Confidence gives to all skills. There is no special boost.
