Traits Problem

Hello,

I have encountered a problem with one of my Sim's traits in-game today. I was playing a tweaked version of Caleb Vatore and when he was at work, got moodlets from his original traits (Materialistic, Foodie, Ambitious) after the fact the I had changed them by saving the family in CAS, deleting the original and moving in and playing with the tweaked version. I changed Lilith's original Creative trait to Bro and have not encountered this issue on her, only Caleb. Plus on Lilith's relationship panel, Caleb's original traits are shown as well. What, if anything, can be done to fix this issue?

PS- I had download issues with the game and tried a repair before all EP/GP/SPs were installed, could this have borked my game somehow?

    I can't find a more appropriate thread to post my question in, so I hope this one is okay.

    In the Relationship Panel of the UI, when I choose a certain Sim, some of his/her family members don't appear with the right traits. For instance, I've chosen a father and when I go to the Relationship Panel, his daughter, who is a child, still appears with the "Angelic" trait, the one she had when she was a toddler.

    I don't know if it's considered a "normal" bug, I noticed it during the last few days in my game and thought it would be useful to make the problem known here. Thank you for your time!

    I think the romantic trait is basically glitched. I have sims who never had the romantic trait get the stressed moodlet because of the lack of love in their life.
  • I have had this problem when changing traits.. but I have had Sims I created get moodlets from traits they NEVER had. I also had one who kept getting Eurikas even tho she was never a scientist. I recently had to reinstall my game. Havent had much time to play since (due to never ending doctor appointments.) I'm hoping my fresh start will help.

    As annoying as this bug is, I kinda like it because it's like the sims get extra traits and more complicated personalities. Have anyone tried to remove a trait and then add an opposing trait to see what happens? :D


    I am like you, I don't mind if those traits remain except for the wild trait, that one is totally glitched if your teen- elder sim ever had the wild trait as a toddler if they get the go go go (something like that) moodlet they will glitch out and keep sinking into the ground, standing up, sinking again while walking until that moodlet passes, I too have a mod that gets rid of moodlets for my active sims but if I am out and about in town, I will sometimes see my other sims do the glitchy walk, so now I never give any toddler the wild trait.

    Yes, same here! I guess someone needs a shower of love!!! :D
  • Come to think of it, I have downloaded sims from the gallery that exhibited behavior not typical of their traits. And I also had an adult sim that got moodlets for the toddler "charmer" trait (I downloaded her off the gallery too). It's pretty odd.
  • I had a bug with the geek trait a couple of weeks ago. One sim in my household had the geek trait and would get tense every two hours for not playing games. I guess he also infected his roommate who has never had the trait at all but she also got tense just like a sim with the geek trait would, although, again every(!) two sim hours. So they could play a game and a little while after get tense. I mean we all love games but come on. I deleted the save and added them to another save and it stopped (for now).

    It's annoying when a sim who have gotten different traits acts according to their old traits but I usually just resort to, like some others in the thread have suggested - clone them in CAS by making a twin and then deleting the original. It's time consuming if you want the same outfit etc. but it does the job.
