I'm having the exact same issue. I have all but one stuff pack, i maxed the rank and i literally just keep being reset, then then im reset i cant open my perks panel anymore. it also refunds my points. Honestly disappointing considering i literally can't even do the most basic of things in this new pack. I have maxed it about 5 times now and its just getting infuriating of not even being able to use spells i've already learned. The bar which shows the progression also keeps going black
Marked as Solution for Visibility. This is still an open issue.
@crinrict Hello
I think I have found where the problem comes from. When I created my new wizard's sims, I added the "old line" trait, I just deleted this trait and the problem disappeared. I think the problem comes from these Character Traits.
Bye
1. An existing file. When I first tried to play with it I was using an existing family in an existing file. I tried both the normal grinding way and the testing cheats way and the problem occurred both times. I later used a form of the same sim from the gallery in the same file and the problem occurred again.
2. No. I keep various forms of the same sim in the gallery, be it young adult, child, vampire, etc. I change them from the human form, save them, and then use them so I do not have to deal with any complications that comes from long term play from one game to the next.
3. I have used the same type of sim from the gallery, mostly; I am not sure if you would count them as different sims even if they were fresh without any real gameplay. I did not push the others that far, but I saw someone mentioning the bloodline traits. I did add the ancient bloodline trait to these sims. I can test without it.

what do you mean by that? what is the old line trait?
It's my understanding that 'Old Line' refers to the Bloodline trait ... 'Weak', 'Strong' & 'Ancient' ... either passed down to spellcaster children from parents or cheated in ...
"Update: The team can see the issue now."
Does that mean a fix is incoming ... maybe this week? :P
EA StaffI don't have a time estimate to share at the moment. The team is looking into it though.
This absolutely worked for me. Thanks for your solution.
how to remove ancientbloodline trait
This has happened to me as well, but it was after I made my sim into a spellcaster and added a bloodline trait via cheats. To get the perks menu to pop up again I had to completely exit and reload the game.
Is there any word from EA that this issue will be fixed? I know they just made an update today but obviously the bug still persists. Even if you're using cheats something like this shouldn't be happening...
Why is this marked as solution (fixed), when this is a game-breaking bug? The "marked solution" is just a workaround - not a solution. The solution is that EA/Maxis fixes this. And... I think it's about time to stop charging customers money to beta test the games.

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play with Minerva Charm, rank her spellcasting to Virtuoso, and then gain more ranks after that. It will start deranking her as she gains experience past the Virtuoso rank.
What happens when the bug occurs? Minerva's spellcaster rank starts deranking and she loses the perks she bought with the levels associated with the ranks lost.
What do you expect to see? I expect the system to be similar to Grandmaster vampires, where she's able to continue getting points to spend on perks, but her Virtuoso rank stays the same, even when it reaches the end of the experience bar.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No
I've been playing with Minerva Charm, and when she ranks up her spellcasting level past Virtuoso, it boots her back down to master, and continues to derank her as she gets more experience. I hope the bug doesn't carry on to my grandmaster vampires too, but I haven't tested that.

I just did a test of that with Vlad and the Vatores in Teknikah's World of WIPs save (in which all lots are bulldozed and all pre-mades are in Unplayed Households) without mods. Utilizing the Search for Information on Vampires exploit on the computer ( @aidans1985 : Looks like I used it after all! X-D), Vlad was able to keep earning Points at Grandmaster, and when the Vatores hit Grandmaster, they could keep earning Points, too.
I'll have to see if this is the case with my other saves (especially my main one), but hopefully this proves that Grandmaster Vampires are still okay! 🙂
EDIT: Just remembered I don't have RoM yet (in case that makes a difference). But hopefully what I said still holds true!
EDIT #2: I just realized I had tagged the wrong person as part of my reply! ☹️ I'm VERY sorry Aiden1985! 😳
Haha thats ok @StarryMight ! 😄
I had the ancient bloodline trait equipped on one of my spellcaster sims and I had the issue where it was resetting my level and refunding my points AND the perk panel would stop opening completely, so I started a new game with a completely different sim and didnt place the trait on her and I still had the issue but I'm not 100% sure if I'm the only one
does anyone know if anyone is actually working on solving this issue and the other RoM bugs?I'd like to know if somebody is actually addressing this

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Can't tell. It bugs out at Spellcaster rank master and virtusoso to talent points just reset itself and I can't access the talent points menu.

All above is pretty self explantory.
I have a spellcaster rank at Virtusoso. But, the rank keeps bugging between master and virtusoso. And talent points and menu is bugging resetting itself and unable to use the talent points menu.
