Teenager doesn’t get third trait on aging/no Graduation

I am also having this issue. I play with no mods or custom content. What do they need info wise? What do I need to send where to get this **bleep** bug fixed? I should NOT have to download a mod to fix my game. 

Also having this issue. 

It happened to me too. I just aged up my sim and she only has 2 traits. I am on console

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for the mod. It works! Finally!

Hi everyone. I also experienced this bug over the last week, playing with the HSY pack for the first time (years after release....).

First, I wanted to share a mod I found that helps get around this. I never play with mods but became desperate. It worked, my Sim aged up correctly - more details below. Just remember to enable mods and script mods in your Game Options menu if you, like me, never use mods and aren't familiar: https://www.curseforge.com/sims4/mods/teen-age-up-bug-fix

With the mod, my Sim aged up at her birthday party and received: all of her Parenthood character value traits (the ones for responsibility, emotional control, etc), was able to select a third trait, and got the 'graduated with honors' trait (thought she'd be valedictorian, sigh). **The only thing that did not work for me with the mod is that for some reason the graduation ceremony never showed up on calendar for my Sim, but I think that flaw was unique to my game.** Basically, before my Sim aged up I went to play another pre-made household in Evergreen Harbor where I'd noticed one of my Sim's Teen friends had already aged up to YA before her, and saw a graduation ceremony on that household's calendar... which happened to be scheduled for the same day as my Sim's birthday. At that point I didn't care about the graduation ceremony anymore, but again would've been nice to play as this was my first time using HSY.

Without the mod, I played through her cursed groundhog day of a birthday like 6 different times, and my Sim couldn't get her third trait or any of the Parenthood character value traits or any graduation-related traits, ever. It didn't matter if I used a cake or let her age up "naturally" without the cake. I tried reverting to a backup save about 5 days before her birthday and aged her up early with a cake then, same deal. Never aged up correctly.

Anyway, I saved a few versions of my game where the age-up bug happens, and have kept the modded file separate. Sent a vanilla save to EA_Cade. 

Edited to add:  Totally forgot to mention when I first wrote all this out -- sorry to all the console players who have precious few options for getting around this and can't use mods. It sucks!! Also wanted to acknowledge having a Sim graduate early as a workaround is especially annoying because most people encounter this bug on, or very close to, their Sim's birthday at the end of the Teen stage. Clearly they're not trying to graduate "early" at that point... 

Thanks to every contribution here, I now understand that the main issue (not getting the third trait when aging, nor the reward traits from parenthood) is related to being in highschool when aging while there is a hidden issue with graduation in the game.

I currently see 3 possibilities to avoid this issue without cheats when aging a teenager:

1. Graduate early if the teenager has good grades and enough skills to get this possibility
2. Drop out of highschool
3. Being expelled of highschool 

I have used the first option for a very long time without being aware that it prevented my sims to encounter this issue, just because I have tried once to go to graduation event and found it was not worth the time and effort for me.

Today, one of my teenagers was not in a position to graduate early and I got this issue for the first time. I retrieved an old save and tried several things (debug, alternative location for birthday, lifestyle removal, various objects removal...) without any success and ended up in this forum. 
It gave me the idea to drop my sim out of highschool which solved the main issue!
My sim got his third trait and his 5 additional reward traits from parenthood, and his parents were able to complete their super parent aspiration.
My sim also got a "No graduation" "reward" trait, and developped two new fears (fear of disappointing his parents and fear of failure).
Of course my sim can still go to the university so it will work out fine for him.
Overall, it kind of fits in his storyline because he got into trouble this same week, got detention and was warned of expulsion possibility down this road...

EA, this is a workaround, not a normal solution, and I wish my sims could get the valedictorian trait. Please solve this issue!

babzilllasend any attachments showing video proof or anything toEA_Cade so this post can move on from “needs information”

Everyone please send in attachments of the issues dealing with this bug to EA_Cade since this post is stuck on needs information! They won’t try to fix the bug until they get enough info. 

Just had this issue. My two teens aged up, nothing popped up to choose their additional trait, none of the character values have been added and I'm not seeing anything on the calendar for graduation. One of the teens had completed three of the character values (she got none assigned in her personality UI). The other, he got one of them and it is missing as well ( as a young adult he is still getting notification that his character values are falling out of range).  I do not play with any mods or cc. I'm repairing my game as now to see if that fixes anything but super frustrating. 

Noting, it looks like they've removed the trait so this is no longer an issue on my end with new sims 😊
