can't edit in cas

When I am in CAS, whether creating a new one or and existing one using cheats, I cannot select any traits. However, I can edit the sim's body and clothing. If I select an aspiration, the section above (walking style, voice, age) will disappear, and it won't show if I click on it. I cannot select any traits. I click on the question marks, but it still shows aspirations. Sometimes, the top section will show when I click on the plumbob icon to display it, but it overlaps the aspiration section and I still can only change aspirations(as seen in photo). I can't make any new sims due to this problems, because you can't save a sim without any traits. When I am editing preexisting sims, their traits are different from the ones I selected. I have cc and mods, but I have scanned them through the conflict detector and everything seems fine.

  • This is completely normal! as is something i really wish ea would amend!! as it is quite tricky to get around and quite pointless impo. i have found that this has been a tricky obstacle for many new and old simmers while placing a pre-existing sim into your world from the gallery, but is easy to overcome once you know how.

    aspirations and traits

    if just placing a sim from your gallery into the world you will not be able to pre-edit any of their traits. But if you first select an  empty lot then select create a sim, then go to your library and replace existing sim you will then be able to pre-edit all aspirations and traits as you are technically creating a new sim as apposed to just placing a pre-existing one directly from gallery to game. i hope i helped:3

  • I have the opposite problem; I can select traits and name but, I can't change the clothing or body? Is there a glitch? what should I do?

    Hey @JeffreyTheSim as this thread is quite old the best thing to do is to create a new thread with as much info and we will do what we can to assist.
