@kaylaasmiles7 You also didn't remove them before this? Does it occur in a new save? Have you done any other troubleshooting, like a game repair or new user folder?
@luthienrising I’ve done game repair, could you explain what a new user folder is? Thanks so much for helping
@kaylaasmiles7 @leuerk Could both of you please do this "clean" user folder test?
- Drag (not copy) your whole The Sims 4 folder from Document > Electronic Arts to your desktop, or rename it
- Launch Sims 4. It will behave as if you've never played.
- Start with New to test if your issue recurs in a new game.
If it does not behave as if you've never played -- if it shows that you've got saves, for example, please let us know.
That worked! The traits are showing. Why is it that this in particular fixed it?
- @luthienrising This worked for me! Thanks so much for your help. Does this mean all my old saves are gone or should I move anything from the old Sims 4 folder to the new one?
@kaylaasmiles7 @leuerk Okay! So now we know you have one of three issues
- something in a save is broken
- something in your Maxis user-folder files had corrupted
- a previously undetected mod problem
Let's hope it's the 2nd one!
The next thing to do is to copy a save file back into the new Saves folder and test it. You can also copy back the file called UserSettings.ini (this is where your Rewards from last month's event are), and you can reset your Game Options.
Let me know if an old save now works!
I tried this and it did not work for me I have still having the same issue.
