Re: My sim keeps gasping.
@michelle_renee86 Can you post an image of what you are seeing?
The red circle with a line would probably be something they do not like.
What are their traits? Paranoid or squeamish come to mind based on your description.

@EuphorialQueen I will post a screenshot the next time it happens. As for her traits she has Dog Lover, Top-Notch Toddler, Good Manners, Neat, Responsible, and Gregarious.
@EuphorialQueen Here are some screenshots, normal its a ocean wave but these are new.

I am not 100% sure exactly what is causing this reaction. The one picture appears to be one of the Void-critters or something similar.
The other picture may be related to whatever caused her embarrassment?
It appears to be a random reaction that is more of a curiosity. Unfortunately I am not able to provide a full explanation.
Please report back if you figure it out.
Edit to add:
You said she is a dog lover. Does she have a pet or is one nearby?
Is this Sim available on the gallery?
I would be willing to test your Sim to see if I can replicate this issue.- @EuphorialQueen and @michelle_renee86 Could this be a mod related issue? Top right corner L or Any controls? Could it be that you are in need of an update?
@Trismagistos I'm not a console player (well for Sims 4 anyway) but I think that L symbol in the top right is for the Left stick on an XBox or PS4 controller (i.e. click the Left stick for View Controls). Is that the symbol you are referring to? If this is on XBox or PS4 it can't be mod related.
Sorry if I misunderstood your post.
- @RandomBuzziness You could be definitely right! I am not a console or Xbox player neither. So, @michelle_renee86, when you do play the Sims 4 on a console just discard my suggestion. If not please check your mods.

@EuphorialQueen I do play on console, so its not mod related and she doesn't have any pets and there aren't any nearby, but I just uploaded her to the gallery.

Alexis is beautiful ... thank you for sharing her. I used the Show/Search Sim Info Mod to take a deeper look for any possible hidden traits. It confirms the traits you listed but I have a question. How did you manage to have a young adult with only the two traits?
What were her parents traits? Even though I did not see any trace of an unusual hidden trait I have to wonder if the game did something that I cannot see.
She shows no trace of any type of occult DNA but are her parents alien by any chance. (Curiosity question... because LOL)@michelle_renee86
After studying this issue I have a something that might work. Even though I did not see any absolute evidence I suspect the game may have assigned a random trait or quirk that is causing the gasping. Based on that theory I have a suggestion that I hope you will try. There is a re-trait potion that can be purchased using satisfaction points. Using this potion give you the option to change traits without using a cheat. Have your Sim drink the potion to take you into CAS to change traits. You can change them and leave the ones you like. Since the potion is pretty pricey I gathered some that were bought by my Sim (not debug) and shared them on the gallery.
Please let me know if you try this and if it works.

https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/ECEB9BA6396211E9834E26975FCF53D6Thank you, Lexi is my favorite of all my sims. As for how she only has two traits, when she aged up from teen to young adult, I couldn't find a trait that suited her or I used the re-trait potion, I can't remember which, but regardless, I couldn't find the right trait for her and so I didn't choose one and the game didn't make me, so... I have also done this with other young adult or older sims. Her parents are not aliens and as for their traits...her mother, Alison is Materialistic, Self-Assured, Good, Naturalist, Super Green Thumb, Needs No One, Collector, and Gregarious. Her father, Quinn is Neat, Loves Outdoors, Active, Mastermind, Gym Rat, Professional Slacker, Need No One, and Dastardly. I will try the re-trait potion on Lexi and let you know if the gasping stops or not.
@michelle_renee86 Good to know more about your Sim and her family. Now that I have been thinking about it many of my Sims have been "gasping" for a long while. 😁 I just let it ride as part of the nature of the game.
I used the re-trait potion on Alexis and then I played through(fast forwarded) through about a week and a half(one full term and the latter part of Lexi's previous term at university) in game. Based on that I think it worked. She didn't gasp once during the week and a half, thank you for all your help.
This behavior is driving me nuts. It is getting worse and worse. My Sims look down and what to be a children at play sign pops up. They gasp in horror or just shock. Then go on as if nothing happened. Sometimes, they look at friends or family and gasp. A little thought balloon often above their head. I can never see what it is.
