@Chante1228 Sims doesn't have a trait by that name and I don't recognize the mod. If you're using an older custom trait, there's a good chance it's no longer compatible with the game
First only put back your save game
Copy all content from Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4_Old\Saves to Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4\Saves
If there's a duplicate because of the new save you created, either just overwrite the file if you don't want to keep the new save or rename the new one to a different number that hasn't been used.
Now test again. If it still works, you can put the following folders back (just copy the content like you have done for the saves to their respective folders
- Screenshots
- Recorded Videos
- Tray (your houses and households)
- Custom Music if you have any
Test again.
If it still works you can move on to your mods folder.
Copy stuff back in groups. Start with CC, most should be fine., then your mods but do make sure they are compatible
and here's a tutorial with pics for the whole process: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2014/09/resetting-the-game-to-factory-settings-without-reinstalling/
I did what you said, but as soon as I put the saves in the problem came back.
I think what was causing the problem was the "Brooding" trait. It wasn't showing up in The Sims Tray importer and I couldn't find it in my Mods folder but I gave the trait to a few sims and ran into the same issue.
It hasn't spread to the second sim this time around so I just made a twin of the glitched sim without the trait and deleted the original. I haven't played on it long but hopefully it doesn't pop up again
