Traits Panel Missing in CAS

Whenever I attempt to launch a new game or create a new sim from the map, the trais panel in CAS is missing. If I open a sim already in-game to CAS the traits panel shows, but not with new ones. While, yes, I do use CC, this issue happens even in a completely CC free game (yes I reinstalled, repaired, and also generated a new TS4 folder). I've had this issue since the Enchanted by Nature update. Is anyone else experiencing this or has found a fix?
