Re: [NEEDS SAVES] Removed traits still cause moodlets (no cheats used)

@SqueamishNerd Do send your save to EA QA.

Your issue is: You changed traits after putting the Sim into CAS from the library and then changing traits, right ? Then you still had moodlets for the traits the Sim had before you changed them ?

There are two reasons where it seems to happening without Cheats

- Change traits via CAS after downloading through the library/Gallery

- Using a potion to change the traits

And currently this thread is for both.

Hi Crin,

Is this still being investigated?

I downloaded a Sim from the Gallery that had non-committal and genius.  I changed her traits before starting my save file. I noticed she was getting the negative moodlets from these two traits (she had gotten married and I was having her pursue creative passions), so I bought a re-traiting potion to try and fix the issue, figuring a cheat might not help.  I used the re-traiting potion to no effect.

I removed the Dance Machine trait (both with potion and via Cheat) and my Sim still gets the "Bored" moodlet saying "Where's the Party At?" that comes with the Dance Machine trait...

This seems like an on-going bug for YEARS.

Hi @crinrict !

I removed the trait in a couple of ways. 

1. With the Re-Traiting Potion

2. via cheat (traits.remove_trait_DanceMachine)

3. via cheat (Shift-Click Sims/Change X/Remove Trait)

I am still getting the Bored moodlet that comes with Dance Machine for some reason, regardless of how I removed the trait.

If I use the in-game Shift+Click/Cheat Sim Info/Remove Trait it doesn't show Dance Machine under my Traits.

I will check with the MCCC too when I get home. I shouldn't be getting the moodlet at all since I legitimately removed the trait ☹️

This means removing traits by any means is impossible if we are gonna be getting the negative moodlet of the removed trait anyway. How many are gonna stack? If I remove another trait (e.g., High Maintenance) am I also gonna be getting the negative moodlets of it too? ☹️

@StrudelGR Sometimes the trait is still there although just hidden.

Are you using UI cheats or all cheats ? The remove trait isn't part of the game with no mods.

I am only using MCCC, I have no idea about the rest!

If I Shift+Click my Sim there's a Cheat Sim Info option which has several options including the Add/Remove Trait one. I checked my mods folder again and there are no other cheat-related mods in there except an MC_Cheats.ts4script file which is probably MCCC too.

I tried finding the Dance Machine trait by the way via MCCC and it doesn't show up. I also chose the option to edit my personality traits via MCCC and I am allowed to pick Dance Machine, meaning it's not flagged that I already have it since I am allowed to choose it?

Dance Machine also doesn't show up under the "Hidden" tab via the Shift+Click/Cheat Sim Info/Remove Trait.

I remember I had a similar issue in the past with Fears. I would face them or cleanse them with the in-game potion and I would still get the scared moodlet randomly (e.g., scared of the dark while not having the fear-trait any more).

I don't use mods other than MCCC and some CAS cosmetics.

EDIT: Thank you for your assistance by the way!

I removed the trait again via the cheat command (traits_remove.trait_DanceMachine) and I haven't seen the moodlet pop for a while. Waiting to see and will report the results before uploading the Sim to the gallery!
