No moodlet caption? TS4

So I’m a little new to posting questions, typically every problem I’ve ever had with any of my sims games I can find on a forum but this issue seems impossible.  I currently have/use the seasons EP, city living EP, outdoor living GP, dine out GP, and bowling night SP.  I just downloaded and installed city living, dine out, and bowling night last night and had no issues.  I started a new save and again no issues, and then suddenly I could no longer view the description for moodlets on one of my sims.  I play as an adult and teen daughter, and as I said after the installation I played and had no issues until about halfway through.  I didn’t notice it until my sims came home from a festival because while there, there were no issues.  I’ve tried exiting the game and restarting, attempting to remove buffs and nothing works.  Do you have any idea as to what is causing this?  Or how to fix it?  Like I said, I only have this issue with one sim, the other one displays moodlets and descriptions just fine.

    It sounds as though you're talking about the "missing" whims?

    They now have given us an off/on switch in the gameplay tab. It's turned off by default. So you'll need to load a save and then go to Options > Gameplay and turn on Whims.

    Hi @ttchik97

    could you post a picture ?

    Is it just the tooltip that doesn't pop-up or can you also not expand the list ?

    I do have the whims turned off since I don’t care much for them, but those work just fine.  I mean the little moodlets that describe how your sim is feeling, what is making them happy or sad, etc.

    update:  I exited to the main menu again (after I had already loaded my save from the main menu the first time the game loads) and went back into the game and they suddenly started working again.  Occasionally they still won’t show though, as for right now exiting to the main menu a second time seems to work but it’s quite the pain in the butt to have my game load, enter my saved game, exit back out, and load the save again.  I’ll make sure to take a picture the next time I play so you guys can get an idea of what I mean

    Might be some kind of display lag ? Do you otherwise have lags ?

    There isn’t much lagging in the game, so I’m not sure what else could be causing it.  For now it seems to have gone away by itself, but I haven’t managed to figure out what caused it in the beginning, and what made it go away.  I’m gonna keep an eye out and see what I can find and I’ll keep you guys updated!
