[OPEN] Young Adult still has hidden Childhood Phases

My Sim, Valentin, was a teen with the mean streak childhood phase. I thought that the trait would go away when he aged up to a young adult. The traits box does not show that he has a mean streak. He earned the compassionate trait as he aged up, which would make him upset to be mean to anyone. Valentin then yelled at his sister, which then made him upset. His main traits are creative, loves the outdoors, and insane. 

His mother can still ask him about his childhood phase even though he is a young adult. When she asks him, he responds, but no pop-up message comes up in the upper-right-hand corner. I fear that my Sim Valentin now has a hidden childhood phase despite being a young adult. 

I have repaired my game, but it did nothing. I have also tried testingcheats to try and remove the childhood phase but his mother can still ask him about his phase, which I guess means it's still there. 

I hope my Sim isn't stuck like this! I only have the base game+parenthood, and my computer is a MacBook Pro with Retina running OSX Yosemite, version 10.10.5. Thank you!

  • Hi @Lyoufln

    aren't phases shown by moodlets and not traits ? Does he still have a moodlet for the phase ?

    There is an issue where they keep entering the phase and this might be connected. Did you have that bug when he was still a child ?

    Also: Any mods/cc in your game ?

    Hi @crinrict

    My sim doesn't seem to get the happy moodlet about being mean, so I guess he's not getting the moodlet for it anymore. I think childhood phases are temporary traits. 

    Yes, the entering phase bug was with my all 4 of the sims family's kids. However, it was never strong enough to cause them to be starving or exhausted. I was still able to get them to sleep or eat eventually.

    As for mods, or cc, no I don't have any, so I guess that wouldn't be affecting it.

    But only still has it ? I do think it might be connected.

    Unsure atm, if I should merge or leave as it's own thread.
