Cas issues with traits and aspirations

Traits won't open, unable to get the drop down list. Example cant change lazy to snob. Like. The drop down just doesn't show. I have to randomize traits. And im unable to change aspiration traits. Example, if I change from a family aspiration that has the homemaker trait, if I change to a cooking aspiration my Sim keeps the homemaker trait and doesn't gain the essence of flavor/the cooking trait. It isn't a mod issue as I tried it base game and it still does not work.

  • Hi @Andiepandie2299 

    Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

    You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

    After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

    Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

    • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
    • Tray Folder
    • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
    • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • ConfigOverride, if you have your own configuration files.
    • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

    The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.
