Unable to select traits in CAS

I‘m also having this problem.
I already updated my game and my mods however nothing is working at the moment

Also having this issue 

EA_Cade asked for saves here: [ARCHIVED] Unable to select traits in CAS | EA Forums - 11677401 

It says needs info. What information do you need? I took out all my mods. I repaired the game and started a new vanilla folder. I went to CAS and refused to use the story creation tool. As soon as I did that the trait boxes disappeared as displayed in the screenshot in the original thread. 

This is happening to me too and weirdly enough only happens whenever I start a fresh new save without mods. This has been happening for months and is absolutely game breaking. It is actually wild that we have not heard at least a public addressing of this issue online or in the laundry list. It is time to fix this Sims team. 

Okay. soeven with taking out my mods it wasnt working at first. But i went through all my mods, made sure to update or delete. I deleted any weird files like localthumbcache or lastexception etc. Then it still was happening while I was in the game but when i was in CAS i did  control+shift+c for cheats and then inputed resetUI, exited CAS and when I went back into it the traits panel was there.

This is what it looks like

erased the whole game and reinstalled it. No mods or cc. whats going on? 

I am also having this issue, deleted my mods, uninstalled the game twice and repaired it several times. i keep getting the lastexception file and all the other bs ones that pop up when there is a game error. starting to get frustrated!
