Having issues with rebirth

I'm having a little bit of trouble, wondering if anyone knows how to fix/work around it.

With the new expansion, I wanted to resurrect my main sim as a child. I've done this once before when Life & Death came out. I remembered it had the issue where you couldn't be reborn if you had some of the Lovestruck traits. So I removed the same Lovestruck traits I did before and also the Grims Right Hand trait simply because my sim wouldn't die. I was able to reborn into a new house hold I had previously set up and everything seemed fine. But then I started noticing the issues in create-a-sim. If I click on the option to make my sim resemble their past self, nothing would happen. After I exit create-a-sim and go up to a mirror, no option to get previous traits even though I maxed out the souls journey before being reborn. I looked at the souls journey page after being reborn and noticed the number of times it tells me I've been reborn is now missing as if I never have been reborn.

Anyone else experience this and know what's going on? I got this issue prior to the current expansion release. Tried it again after, still the same issue.

 - I have no mods installed
 - I'm able to be reborn with or without the lovestruck traits and have the exact same issues ether way
 - I've tried resetting my sim, didn't have any effect.
 - Since after I got reborn, the game would tell me my small business was sold, I tried to sell it before hand. Didn't have any effect
 - Tried being reborn in both a existing household and create a new household with just myseft. Had no effect ether way
 - I had burning soul trait ever since I was reborn the first time. Tried to remove it to see if that helped. Couldn't figure out how.
