Pet sometimes lose their trait in certain scenarios
Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? all
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? (I select "Often", but it's easily noticeable.) There are 2 scenarios to trigger this bug. A and B.
What happens when the bug occurs? ((A)) [1]. Create a new pet in CAS(CAP). Remove pre-assigned 1 trait and select 3 traits of your choice. [2]. And just start playing. By using in-game debug option(which EA devs use), you will find out that some of these pets lost their trait(1 or 2). (debug's "remove trait" shows pet's current traits) And when you go back to world menu and look your household, by selecting a lot and click a pet face icon, you will notice that the pet actually lost the trait(only 1 or 2 is assigned). (🍺) [1]. Or, go to household management, edit a household and select a pet. Change their pet's trait here. (testingcheats true & cas.fulleditmode is required) [2]. After you changed their trait, start playing. The result is same as above(A-2).
What do you expect to see? Don't lost trait settings at all. For temporary fix, I can use debug option's "Add trait" menu to fix affected pet. And when I added a trait in live mode using debug system, the pet never lose their trait again(fixed).
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? Neutral/Not Sure
