[ROM] Child of two spellcasters results in human Sim

Child born to 2 Spellcasters
Child has Strong Bloodline trait
Child came with Glimmerstone in inventory

Aged up child to Teen Sept 22, 2025 BUT HE IS NOT A SPELLCASTER
( oh the shame )
Tried clicking on Glimmerstone and nothing happens.  
( the awkward heir, rejected by magic, oh no ) 

Maybe I misunderstood, but I thought that a child like this would age up to be a Spellcaster?

    You asked "Are there any other indication that he should be a spellcaster?"

    Yes, he has a Spellcaster's Strong Bloodline in traits!  AND born with glimmerstone.  If he is not a spellcaster then why have STRONG BLOODLINE in traits?  This is the bug that I am reporting on.  

    He also has the Sulani Mana trait.  Because of this trait I expect him to be able to do the actions related to the Sulani Mana trait. 

    I expect the traits to have meaning in the game.

    Guess he just isn't a spellcaster ? There's a 50/50 chance that he's not if one parents is not a spellcaster.

    There have been reports of random glimmer stones appearing in inventories.

    Are there any other indication that he should be a spelllcaster ?

    Hi!  Okay I will clarify.  Screenshot above shows the child's traits:

    • Strong Bloodline, from Spellcaster mother
    • Sulani Mana, from Sulani Ancestor father  Father is NOT a spellcaster.  

    Child was born with a Glimmerstone in his inventory.
    When the child aged up to teen he did not become a Spellcaster.   Why?   Please explain.  

    In my past gameplay, if a child is normal (not occult) they do not inherit a bloodline strength or a glimmerstone.  I am trying to learn if EA changed the inherited trait standards or if this is a game bug.  Thank you for helping me.

    9/23/25 Edit - Child of 1 spellcaster w/ Strong bloodline mother & Sulani Ancestor father  (my error)  I've had other offspring of 1 spellcaster + regular sim turn into spellcaster at teen.   I know I can have a spellcaster turn him.  I'm asking to learn.  Thank you!

    I've never used Mods.  I had one cc hair, just to experiment, and removed it before awhile ago.  In Settings, Mods/cc turned off.
