Teen Character traits not apply when ageing up

Hi

Since the new plumbob my teens don't acquire their earned character traits when ageing up to young adult. It's similar to the toddlers not earning their happy or top notch traits when the age up without the cake. My toddlers still don't but now my teens don't either. Will there ever be a fix for this?

Thanks

    If you have pasted your old saves folder into this new game folder then nothing should change.
    However, if you talk about achievements such as "24 hours in the game", or "fulfilled 100 dreams of a sim", then these are nowhere permanently saved. With every new game, you get it again.

    Since the Game Version 1.54.120.1020 Patch 08Aug2019 I have played a family with teens and toddlers.

    They all had their respective earned toddler and character traits applied.
    Are you on PC/Mac and do you have any mods or cc in your game?

    Along with removing (not disabling) mods / cc the localthumbcache.package needs to be deleted.
    You might also consider starting a new game in a fresh folder for testing purposes.
    Directions for this are in the link below.

    @EuphorialQueen I don't use mods or cc. Even on a new game they don't apply if I do not use a cake and be playing them at the time. The toddlers haven't for a long time, but the teens have just started to not get them applied. I have don't do CC or Mods, I've tried the game fix. I have taken out the last save file and deleted and reloaded the whole game on my PC and even started a new game, it happens however I do it, unless I use the cake a 'be present'.

    @therhythmicbabe 
    That is good to know that you do not have mods or cc.

    • If I am reading your reply correctly it looks like you are saying you have done the following:
    • Repaired the game
    • Deleted the old folder
    • Started a new game

    And if you use a birthday cake to age them up the toddler and character traits do apply.
    Is that correct?

    @EuphorialQueen Almost, I worked through the fixes on the post but the character traits only apply if I age up using the cake. Not when I leave them to get their own names and traits and age up without me. I deleted the thumb nails too but there was only three new game cover ones.

    Your configurations files in your game folder can be damaged after update if you have long played in the same save.
    Let the game to replace these files with the new one. Your library and saves will remain as it was.
    Go to Documents/ElectronicArts - inside will be The Sims4 folder
    Step 1. Rename The Sims4 folder to "The Sims4 old"
    Step 2. Fix the game in Origin
    Origin/Library - right-click on TS4 - option "Repair game"
    You have to wait until Origin will fix all packs, not only the base game.
    Step 3. Turn on the game - a new game folder will be created and you will have two - one old, one new
    Step 4. Check if you still have this problem in the newly created game folder.
    If the problem disappeared
    Step 5. Delete in the new game folder following folders:
    "saves" and Tray.
    Step 6. Go to "The Sims 4 old" folder and copy - your "saves " folder.
    Step. 7, Paste this folder in a newly created game folder.
    Step 8. Do the same with Tray folder and TrayDeleteItems file
    Step.9. Check if it problem disappeared in your old game
    Step. 10. If all is OK - delete The Sims4 old folder.

    I have done this but I'm going to give it another go. Thanks for the reply. I'll update the post when someone ages up.
