Hello,I'm having this very frustrating problem in The Sims 4 where the trait menu in Create-A-Sim isn't showing up. I can't choose any traits manually and I just have to randomize the traits until I get the ones I want (which is super annoying). To fix this problem, I tried deleting broken/conflicting CC/mods from my game, but that didn't work. I moved out my whole mods folder and that didn't work either. I followed instructions given to people with the same problem to clear my entire cache from the game to get the menu back, but it still didn't work. And now I've uninstalled and reinstalled the entire game and started fresh...it did not work. This problem is really irritating and is greatly affecting my motivation to play when I can't choose such a big part of my Sims that I play as. Please help. Thank you so much.P.S. this problem started about a week after adding some new CC to my game, and the week before that the traits menu still worked. I added no new CC/mods after that first game or before that second game where the traits just disappeared ☹️

it's working again!! Sorry about that

@immorqlzn Start with known broken/updated mods and CC in the current Broken/Updated Mods & CC thread. If after fixing those issues you still have a problem, instructions on locating a broken mod are in this post, under 50-50: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Mod-CC-Issues/INFO-How-to-Use-Mods-and-CC/m-p/13439356#FiftyFifty

I've tried everything, including this method you presented, but nothing worked (with or without mods). For me, only the option to show aspiration appears, but when I go to choose the traits, I can't even click

@Oh_no_Apocalypse Does your issue look like this? https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Unable-to-select-traits-in-CAS/m-p/13907533#M284860

Hello. I managed to solve the problem (at least for now), it was some TURBODRIVER mods (no washing dishes in the bathroom, who's knocking and less intrusive sims). I'm not sure if all of these mods are the culprit, but I deleted them just in case.
Thank you!

@Oh_no_Apocalypse The dishwashing one is obsolete and needed to be removed anyway, but nothing in it should affect CAS UI. Less Intrusive Sims and Who Is Knocking does have some UI in Livemode on. If you get a chance to test Less Intrusive Sims and Who Is Knocking alone with no other mods installed, I'd be interested in the results.

Please also let me know, if you can reproduce with those mods, what kind of CAS menu breakable they're causing. There are multiple ways trait menus show, so knowing which ones disappear is helpful.

Now I'm confused because I did what you suggested and it worked, so I also tried it with all my other mods together and it also worked. The only weird thing happening is that I can't select my preferences (with or without mods).

@Oh_no_Apocalypse For preference issues, check out Broken/Updated Mods & CC . Pretty much everything non-adult that's causing preference issues should be there by now.

Hello, I have tried all the recommended methods (including methods in several different threads) and nothing has worked. I believe it is a problem with EA. My CAS traits won´t show up
