Unable to select traits in CAS

this is apparently still a problem 2 years later. I made sure my Mac pc was up to date, repaired the game from the ea app multiple times, tested to see if a specific mod was causing the issue, removed all my mods, deleted save files from the ea games-sims4- folder, deleted cache files, restarted my pc, uninstalled and reinstalled both the ea app and the sims4 game, created new game folders, and I didn't have this issue until the most recent sims4 update. which is funny how they fixed a bunch of bugs, but if they did I can't tell since I cannot get past the initial CAS.
