Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? 100%
What is your current game version number? 1.59.73.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Sims 4 Get Together, Sims 4 Vampires
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I changed a previously made Sim into a Teen from Young Adult; they used to have the Materialistic trait at one point, but through changes I made, they lost it even before they lost their third trait from being made into a teen.
What happens when the bug occurs? My sim gets a Tense mood indicator, saying they haven't admired something expensive they've bought lately, despite not having the Materialistic trait.
What do you expect to see? I expect to not be seeing my sim become Tense due to a trait they do not have.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes, cosmetic-only mods.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? It may have appeared with the latest update, or after I installed the Get Together content.
I've had this bug for a while in my main game, so I made a quick test in a fresh game..

I went with Romantic, Active, and Hot-Headed, as they seemed to produce negative moodlets fairly often.
My first test (copying a sim before I played her), didn't produce results. I played the original and the copy for about a sim-day - she got angry and tense half a dozen times; he (I changed the gender so I could tell them apart) had no problems. Then I cloned the day-old family, changed her traits too, and moved them into a different lot (I did use freerealestate because they were broke). I played them for a couple of sim-days, and she got tense from Active (which she no longer has).
Save file is at https://drive.google.com/open?id=1nDQ6ui-NBX_i_t3hyXhpu4UKVBdNK7yp - the original family is in Brightchester; the "shouldn't get tense" ones are in Willow Creek (I forgot I should've changed their names).
@crinrict That thread seems to be mostly triggered by the soccer ball though. My sim has never used a soccer ball (or done a push-up). I hadn't been playing the test one very long, so the Active tense moodlet was the only one I'd seen so far, but in my main save, it was a formerly non-committal sim who got tense from her job (I edited her when she got married). It doesn't seem to be triggered by any specific action for me - it's come up while she's at work a couple of times, as well as just hanging around at home (drinking water, watching TV).
I added a new sim to the test - gave him Non-Commital, Romantic, and Angry. Played him a few days, then saved him, deleted the original, loaded him from the library into a new household in CAS, changed his traits, and moved him back into the house. The next day...
The other sim (and this one, in one day so far) hasn't gotten tense from the former Romantic trait - but Active and Non-Committal both definitely still stick around after being changed. I'm not using cheats or anything - just tweaking library sims in CAS before putting them in the world. It only happens with sims that have been previously played, before being saved to the library.
I eventually used a cheat to give him enough satisfaction points for retraiting potions - he had to take two, one to add the trait, then another to remove it (properly). He's gone about a week without being tense (from Non-Commital anyway). So I guess this is a low-priority issue now.
