So I've noticed that a few Toddler traits end up breaking the Sims when they grow up, giving them moodlets that they should no longer have. For example, the "Charmer" trait causes Sims to get overwhelmingly sad if they don't get enough social interaction even when they're all grown up, and the "Wild" trait gives a 'Run Run Run' moodlet that causes teen or young adult or older Sims to walk around like toddlers and crawl up the stairs.While the "sims.remove_all_buffs" cheat fixes this when it happens, it's annoying to have to reset your Sims mood each time because of some long-ignored bug that shouldn't be happening in the first place.Are there any traits for Toddlers that don't have these kinds of issues? Which ones are "safe" to use? I'll never be using Wild or Charmer ever again, that's for sure, but I'm starting to get ready to skip Toddlers altogether even though I had been waiting so long for them just a year ago.

Does anyone know a way to remove JUST the "Run Run Run" moodlet? This is seriously destroying the game for me. I don't want to delete this Sim, he's one of my favorites, but I can't deal with this happening every few hours. I keep having to remove all buffs but I want some of his moodlets to still last - I'm working hard for him to get certain ones, and then I have to erase them because of some stupid bug that EA has never bothered to fix. I hate this.

Hm you can remove the trait completely ( because the game didn't removed it completly when aging up) testingcheats true traits.remove_trait trait_toddler_wild Hope it helps. Should work for the charmer too.

Have you repaired your game recently? Give that a try if you haven't. And do you have any mods installed that might be out of date? If you do and repairing the game doesn't fix this then try removing your mods folder to see if it's still happening. My most recent set of toddler twins were both Wild and Clingy and neither of them have experienced the traits glitching into their childhood or their teenhood.

I usually play with the Angelic, Independent, and Inquisitive toddler traits. I've never noticed any moodlets that have lingered when they become adults.

Which Toddler traits don't break the game?

I've tried that but unfortunately it doesn't work because he doesn't actually still have the trait anymore ever since he aged up, but is still for some reason spawning moodlets because of it.

Give that mod a try. I think you'll be really happy with it.

Did you try adding that trait, then removing it? Regardless the only other solution here would be to create an exact twin of the Sim, set them up exactly like the old version, delete the original, and add in what the original had (minus the bugs) when you play the new version of the Sim.

I have a Sim (Emory Holiday) in one of my saves who had the Clingy trait as a toddler; as a child he would occasionally get Tense around the other children in the family from the Clingy trait, because he felt more comfortable with his caregivers. For my gameplay it made sense; he was originally Summer Holiday's son via Gavin Richards, then Summer married Gunther Munch (thanks to MCCC for both situation; there was also a twin for the boy). Gunther and my Sim, Cassidy Purdue, had a fling at the Romance Festival and Cassidy ended up pregnant with his son, Jaxon. I had Summer and Gunther fight then Summer divorced Gunther; with Manage Households I placed Emory's brother Cameron with his birth father, and Gunther took Emory to live with Cassidy and Jaxon while Summer moved off to the city. I haven't played the family in a while so I haven't aged up Emory to see if the Clingy trait still affects him as he gets older.

Do you have Parenthood? There is a Clingy phase trait for children that works similar to the toddler Clingy trait. Also since you mentioned using mods, perhaps the mod was the problem?
