GF quirks not working?

I have a sim with the vain quirk and it does nothing. She used to get those tense moodlets, but she hasn't gotten any and I've played her weeks. On top of that when I select the admire fine self interaction on a mirror, the interaction never ends. Seems to be broken the same way as the Movie Hangout movies. I couldn't find this in reported bugs and I'm just wondering if anyone else has problems with quirks or if the other ones still work?

  • I read the title like "Girlfriend quirks not working?" and was thinking 'do girlfriends in S4 have quirks now??'
    I mean it makes sense, but I wasn't aware of its existence, let alone the bug. :D

    So my apologies for this nonsense post....I can't even help or confirm this issue as I haven't played celebs in a long time. :#
  • I just run into the opposite problem. My sim psyched himself up at the mirror to become confident and acquired the Vain Street quirk in the process. After a few hours the tense+2 from not admiring himself enough appeared, but I do not have the Admire Fine self interaction at mirrors anymore. So unless I clear off the quirk or buy Never Tense (both if which I do not want, because that sim really is vain), the tenseness is permanent?

    (Although now that I'm writing this, was there maybe particular mirror needed? Hanging, standing? I tried a wall-mounted one in the bathroom only, maybe I should have tried others.)

    I don't understand the game. Now I have the option to Admire Fine Self again, at the same mirror that wouldn't offer it to me yesterday. But my sim isn't getting tense from his quirk anymore, so exactly what everyone else reported already.

    The tense moodlet from Vain Street can be cleared autonomously, maybe your Sim is just admiring himself so often he doesn't give it time to show up. But if he's not ever autonomously admiring himself, the tense moodlet never shows, and the admire action never finishes when you manually do it; remove and re-add the quirk with the testingcheats shift-click menu, that's all I did and it's working fine now.
  • Autonomy is off, so that can't happen. Cheat-remove and add back, check. Will try that, thank you!
  • How do I clear it? My sim has the juiced quirk and it’s really annoying. I thought the celebrity cleanse worked and then I used the reward store for quirk be gone and it’s still there!

    I finally got around to making a bug report for this, because I noticed Vain Street broke on my Sim again. I suspected it was because I played other households for a while, because it was working fine until I did that. I added it to a test Sim, confirmed it working, then switched to a different household, fast forwarded through several sim hours, went back to the test Sim, tried to admire self in the mirror.. and, it had no progress bar and wouldn't finish, and she never got the tense moodlet anymore. So that's what buggers it up. Just switching households may also cause Juice Enthusiast and Phone Fanatic to stop working, but in my tests all it took was reloading the save while the Sim had the moodlets on them (that never worked to break Vain Street though). As far as I can tell, those are the only three quirks that end up not functioning properly after reloads and rotational play.

    Oh, bummer. That one is my go-to remedy.
