@Shaynasaur59 Is your sim a Teenager?

I'm not certain fertile does anything for male sims. They can't have fertility massages either.

@Shaynasaur59 I tested males and they can buy the trait.

Did you try with a teen ?

I did not. I honestly haven't tried to purchase the trait with another male sim because bi don't want to but in the effort for the rewards points.
He isn't a a teen, is an adult. I was thinking maybe it was because he's male, but have read several threads stating both sims had the trait, so I wasn't sure if it was an update that disallowed for the male sims to purchase the trait or what.
Either way as of today I still cannot purchase the trait, and am unsure of why.

@Shaynasaur59 what's the reason you get if you hover over the fertility trait (the greyed out icon itself)

@Shaynasaur59 you're not hovering over the right trait though. That's hardly hungry.

I really don't know how it works on console but you need to get the tool tip for this.

Lol yeah I'm aware I'm not hovering over the right one, I wanted to be able to show that it was grayed out.
What are tool tips?

@Shaynasaur59 text that appears if you hover over something. Is that not a thing on console ? It would be good to know WHY it's greyed out. On PC it tells you if you move your cursor over the icon

tagging @PoptartJuniper to see if there's a way to do that on console

@crinrict @Shaynasaur59 You just need to move the cursor up to the fertile trait where it's greyed out, as you did for the hardly hungry. Tooltips are on console also.
