I loaded up an older game and tried to give one of the sims the fertile reward. I was told that I couldn't because that reward is Not Available for Robots. I did not make my sim a robot of any kind. This was an older save file. Downloading University shouldn't turn my sims into other things, right? And is there a cheat/action to make her a regular sim?
I don't have University, but the same thing happened to me today. Most of the rewards I had on my Sim are missing from traits panel, but when I go back to purchase them again say "Not available for robots".
@Diamond_Destiny8& @captain_rogers90 , do either of you happen to use Mods or Custom Content (CC)? 🤔 If so, please do the following:
1) Move the Mods Folder to your desktop
2) Delete localthumbcache.package file in the game folder.
3) Fix you game in Origin by logging in and go to Library, then right-click on The Sims 4 and choose the "Repair Game" option from the list. Wait until Origin finishes repairing all your packs and not just the base game.
4) Now, when you turn on your game again, it will create a new mods folder that will be empty. Check to see if your game is now working without mods/CC.
5) Now you can try adding back items from your Mods folder one at a time checking your game each time to see which item is causing your game to not work properly. If you have a lot of items, you can try the 50/50 Method.
The CC creators will usually update the CC items and Mods after these updates, so when you find out which one is the culprit, you can get the updated version from whoever made that item of CC in the first place. You should try these steps anytime you have problems in your game to rule out CC/Mods problems. It is the responsibility of the Mods/CC creators to update their items anytime EA releases a patch/update, and it is the responsibility of the people who use Mods/CC to make sure they are using the most recent version.
Now, if this doesn't work, there might be another problem with your game or this might be a bug. But we have to rule out a Mods/CC problem first to determine that! 🙂
Please reply back with an update! 😇
Unfortunately I don’t have mods or CC. It’s probably a bug but hopefully raising awareness will get the devs to fix it!
@Diamond_Destiny8, thank you for replying1 😇 That does help to have that ruled out! I haven't heard if this is already posted as a bug in the Bug Report section or not, so it would be best if you posted your expireince there by filling out a Bug Report yourself! https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/bd-p/The-Sims-4-Bugs That way, other people with the same problem can add to it and it will be more likely to get fixed!🤞 Someone also might post a workaround solution there in the meantime. 🙂
Best of luck and Happy Simming!🥳
I just got University yesterday and now my 1/2 alien Sim is getting that same notice on Rewards - "not available for robots"
My Sim is not a robot and I'm annoyed I've lost my alien traits!
No mods/CC running
Sounds like a bug to me. Hope someone has Fix or work around asap
@jezzabella2313, yes, I would be upset too if my Alien had lost their traits! 😢
You stated that you don't have any Mods/CC "running". Do you mean that you disabled them, or that you got rid of them, or that you never used them?
It often isn't enough to just disable Mods. If you have ever used them and have not done the procedure I describe above , please try that as it will help remove any bits of corrupted data that might still be present. If you have already done this, or if doesn't work, or if you have never used Mods/CC , it would probably be best if you filled out a Bug Report on this since It doesn't look like @captain_rogers90 or @Diamond_Destiny8 ever filled one out despite the suggestion to do so. 😞 I could be wrong, but this does look like a bug. Here is the link to the Bug Reports section: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/bd-p/The-Sims-4-Bugs
Please fill out the form so they can start trying to fix this! 😇 Other people with the same problem can then add to what you posted! Thank you! 🙂
My game did this too and I just updated it today because it’s been a while since I’ve played. I don’t have Discover University, but I do have Cats and Dogs, Romantic Garden Stuff, Parenthood, Spa Day, and Holiday Celebration Packs. I tried repairing my game and all packs and it didn’t work.
@OneVampireGirl, do yo use Mods or Custom Content (CC)?🤔 If you do not, please fill out a Bug Report here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/bd-p/The-Sims-4-Bugs :eaangel:
I have the same problem.I have the latest update on EVERYTHING and MCCC, and I know it is fine because i tried everything and it's still doing it. PLZ HELP! I'm using a teen and and before the 12/12 update it was not doing it. I think that when the devs updated the game, it did this, just saying.
This didn’t work 😩
As many in this thread I had this problem and I tried the repair thing advice said on the first page and nothing. Then I tried the cas.fulleditmode and proceeded to edit my character. I looked into the pregnancy options where it says if they can get pregnant or impregnate others or neither...neither was selected when I had selected can get pregnant at the start? This was the problem for me, maybe it will help others.
Teen Sims will now see the appropriate tooltip when trying to acquire the Fertile Trait from the Rewards Store. No, they are not Robots.
Partial fixed in Patch 1.63.133
.. It's still broken for children.
