After I updated the sims I have been unable to select traits in cas even after removing all my mods and deleting and reinstalling the game
Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title to fit old report.

I have the same issue, and I've tried everything mentioned in this thread. I moved my mods out, deleted the localthumbcache, moved The Sims 4 file out of my desktop and tried with a completely new game, and the traits are still gone. I've had this for weeks and idk what to do anymore. I can fix the issue by creating a Sim through the story feature, but that doesn't work on saves where I've already created a Sim household and am trying to create another household for the same save file.
This is what it looks like:
First Time - September 8th, 2025: This issue is happening to me as well. This is my first time reporting a bug (not to say I haven't encountered bugs before but my game is usually still playable, and bugs I usually encounter are minor and fixed quickly but this one makes it hard for me to even play the game). I believe I'm playing on a Windows 11 PC. I have had mods in the past, like years ago, but have no mods installed now. I deleted mods and stopped using them three years ago or more. I do own add-ons. I am repairing the game right now. I have 42 add-ons, which include:

How did I encounter this? Upon launching The Sims 4 I clicked "New Game". Immediately after C.A.S. opened I went to my library to upload a Sim I've already created before and saved to my library, I clicked on a Sim from my library and had it replace the Sim that was in C.A.S. upon opening it up. Then I noticed I could not select any traits because only the aspiration would popup.
Second Time - September 18th, 2025: Last time I had the game repair and everything worked again. The only difference today is I now have The Sims 4 Businesses & Hobbies Expansion Pack. I bought it on the 12th and just opened the game to begin playing the pack for the first time, only to discover the C.A.S. trait disappeared again.
