All werewolf abilities with points and dormant reset

I play on the mac and I just had this happen recently. My werewolf sim randomly had all of his abilities erased and same with his dormant. I didn’t get any of my points back though. So my sim is the highest rank of wolf but with no abilities or points. He is now unable to make the wolf-b-gone too because of that. This did happen after getting the High School Years.

    What happens when the bug occurs? My sim has lost most of her satisfaction points and werewolf abilities
    What do you expect to see? over 2000 satisfaction points, and several werewollf abilities.
    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
    Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes

    Discovered this bug when troubleshooting a different bug that my sims have experienced where they are living out groundhogs day. It happens upon loading in, and even when reverting to a previous save where I knew all of the satisfaction points and abilities were intact, and after repairing game files. My werewolf's temperaments remain the same.

    Hi @mcoffey1998 

    Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

    You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

    After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

    Put back your reverted save game and try again (lost points will be lost). If it works, you can start putting stuff back.

    • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
    • Tray Folder
    • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
    • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • ConfigOverride, if you have your own configuration files.
    • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

    The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.
