[UNSUPPORTED] Changed Trait, Wrong Emotion

Hello. 🙂 I changed a trait for one of my Sims in game using the cas.fulleditmode cheat but not I am still getting an emotion for the one I got rid of. ☹️

    We don't really support cheats, and are aware that using them can cause issues. If traits.equip_trait and traits.remove_trait are functioning correctly, and provide a usable workaround for the issue of cas.fulleditmode giving incorrect moodlets, then I think we can consider this issue resolved. I realize that it's not technically resolved, but if a workaround for the issue exists, and that workaround is working, then that's all we can do for the time being.

Try this. Go to cheat window put in testingcheats on, then cas.fulleditmode. Go into CAS remove trait substitute it for another. Save. Go back to cheat window re-enable testingcheats on. Then type traits.equip_trait carefree. This will stop your Sim from getting tense. Do traits.remove_trait dancemachine. Then lastly clear your buffs by going to sims.remove_buffs then put in sims.add_buff inspiredhigh. The new traits will then take effect. I did this with a non-commital sim I had and voila, he's a devoted family man with five kids. Good luck. Hope this helps, Crin. It's a little workaround until the main bug gets fixed.

    I just wanted to confirm that the "traits.equip_trait" and "traits.remove_trait" cheats appear to work correctly, at least for me. I had a Non-Committal Sim who kept getting Tense from having the same job, used that cheat to remove it and give him another trait, and viola! Haven't seen the Tense moodlet since. Someone is much happier at their job now! 🙂

    I adopted a child Sim and wanted her to have the Loner trait instead of Creative.  I used CAS to change it, but now she gets tense moodlets from "Feeling Uncreative". traits.equip_trait and traits.remove_trait are working (I can see in her Simology panel that adding new traits causes them to appear, and then I can remove them) however Creative does not show in Simology and using the remove cheat does not cause the moodlets to stop appearing.

    Is there a different work around/way to fix this?

      Don't think there is unless you wanna try with a mod. Maybe MC Command Center can help. Unsure though

    I downloaded a sim from the gallery into create a sim and changed their traits and am getting this issue. I also still get this problem when I use the “re-traiting potion” which is not a cheat and STILL get left over buffs/moodlets. This is really frustrating. The “remove trait” cheat hasn’t worked for me.

    I'm still having this problem. Is there seriously no way for it to be fixed?
