Re: Traits Panel Not Appearing

@kaylaasmiles7 When you removed mods and CC, did you also delete the localthumbcache file? Please test in a clean user folder: Drag your whole Sims 4 folder from Document > Electronic Arts to your desktop. Launch Sims 4. Start with New to test if your issue recurs in a new game.

    Hello!! I’ve done this, I’ve almost removed my mods and repaired my game, i think this has something to do with the parenthood patch sadly as it was working perfectly fine before that

    @lxucy_marie Please test in a new user folder and new save:

    1. Drag your whole Sims 4 folder from Document > Electronic Arts to your desktop.
    2. Launch Sims 4
    3. Start with New to test if your issue recurs in a new game.

    I have done this as well, I’ve updated all my mods and removed them and problem continued, I’ve contacted EA support now to see what the problem may be

    @lxucy_marie Just to confirm, when you tested without mods, did you do a full vanilla test? Drag the Mods folder to the desktop, delete the file called localthumbcache, open the game to test, and exit without saving. And you've tested in a new user folder? Have you done a Game Repair? Also, does this happen in a new, no-mods-installed save, or only in a previously modded save?

    I’ve repaired the game, tested it with new user data twice, drag my mods folder out multiple times, deleted the cache and the problem still continued, it had started after the most recent patch update and has continued, i know it can’t be my mods because i have all my cc merged and my script mode are separate so i can see what i need to update everytime, the trait panel broke before the merge of cc, i did contact EA support last night after trying all of your solutions but obviously to no avail

    @lxucy_marie Looks like you need to be in Bug Reports, since it occurs without the Mods folder. There's a thread there.

    By the way, merging CC is likely to cause you problems later finding broken CC. I strongly recommend unmerging it. There's info about this in  How to Use Mods and CC

    @__hell0_mxixe__ What does your issue look like? Some are mod-caused but not all. Have you done a "vanilla" test? Drag the Mods folder to the desktop, delete the file called localthumbcache, open the game to test, and exit without saving.
