Where are my traits and aspirations?

Do you have nothing at all in your mods folder or just using CC ?

I have this problem to and i have no mods! i just got this game so wtf!! I had to drive to 2 walmarts 3 gamestops and 2 best buys just to find this ea card and now i cant make a sims because we have to choose traits before saving! (and aspirations) just annoyed tell me theres an easy fix please!

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.

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)
• Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
• 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. 

Also try to repair the game through Origin
