[OPEN] Emotion Status Blank on Sim Chooser (Still shows on pets)

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
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? 1.105.332.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All DLC
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Look at the bottom where you go to select which sim you want to control.
What happens when the bug occurs? You will notice a blank gap under the sim's name that previously said the sim's emotion. This still works for pets however.
What do you expect to see? The emotion of the sim written underneath their name, as it previously did.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

Grant's (Pet) emotion status is written underneath his name. This previously used to happen for humans, but an update along the way has broken this. 

No other errors related to this.

    This was bothering me for so long, I knew something was wrong with so much empty space underneath Sim's name!

    Sims don't have emotion shown, cats, dogs and horses have. This issue occurs in vanilla game.

    What color should the text be? Because mine is always the same colour, not like OP has... Is it another bug?

    I don't recall the emotions ever showing up over Sims, so either it's just something that's never shown up whether intentionally or not, or it's been a bug for a while. Though it would make sense for the text to be prioritised on pet Sims, since without mods, they're unselectable.


    Hi! I'm SimmerStar4 (they/them). I'm not an expert on game issues, so don't take me as one! I'm just a Sims player who wants to try and help fellow players, and who finds game bugs and issues interesting.

    An empty space under the Sim's name suggests that something should be there.

    Could you please check if animals in your game have colorful emotion name or is always the same color?

    @Soanad 

    Exactly. The blank space indicates that the text is missing. 

    I believe the writing that shows for pets is the color for their emotion. Green text for happy, orange for uncomfortable, grey for dazed etc.
