I have only experienced this bug from aging up via CAS. I have never seen it happen during a natural age up. That's all I can say... :/
I also don't have a backup, unfortunately.
As for consistency, I've never done this before. It's my first time aging up characters via CAS. I did it to a pair of sims and both of them lost all their earned and purchased traits. The purchased trait loss wasn't a big deal because the points spent were returned to their spending pool so I could just buy them again.
I appreciate your help. This situation has been really disappointing because earned traits are a major incentive to play this game at all, considering how limiting Sims 4 is compared to the other Sims games. ☹️
It's probably an issue with the cheat then.
I'm going to split your post from the rest tomorrow as this thread is a mixture of different things.
Best if we just start a new one to add.
I doubt it's going to be a top priority though
Yeah I figured as much. Thanks again!
Split and added to the cheat issues
This just happened to me.
I used the “complete milestone” cheat to give my sim the “Player” and “Companion” traits from both love aspirations. I aged her down in CAS so I could age her back up with a cake to remove a sad toddler moodlet that had been stuck to her.
The moodlet was fixed... and those two traits were removed. I can’t use the aspiration cheat on them anymore because they’re also complete... but still absent.
They arent just missing from the list- my character can’t practice them. She kissed a guy in front of another love interest, and he got jealous.
All her other traits seem to be intact. The ones purchased from the trait store are all good. Just the two love aspirations I gave her before I fixed her moodlet.
Has there been any progress on fixing the issue? Like the original poster, I’m really disappointed she doesn’t have them! I also have no backup, as I’m on an Xbox.
