Hi @Emelia91

Sorry to hear you are having this issue. Would you be happy to supply your save game as per the instructions here: http://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/INFORMATION-How-to-Send-User-Files-to-The-Sims-4-Team/m-p/60653...

This way we can investigate the issue further. Can you also confirm which pack you own in case this is impacting what is occurring? 

Thank you for any information you can provide.

Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)

When I try to hire employees for my vet clinic, an average of 5 out of 6 sims have very negative traits like evil or mean. Finding a sim that has only traits that are less negative, neutral or positive, is a rare exception. I wouldn't want an evil or mean vet to treat my real life pets, so I don't want to hire any in game either. After reporting it on the forum I got a reply saying it happened in restaurants too! I get that in real life you get all types of people in your business including the lesser nice ones, but IMHO the balance is completely off here.

Hi @AlHollandiyah

We were unable to reproduce your issue.

Would you be willing to send your save files?  If so, instructions are here:

https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/INFORMATION-How-to-Send-User-Files-to-The-Sims-4-Team/m-p/6065...

That would help us a lot!.

Also, which exactly negative traits are the sims getting? 

Thank you very much!

I have mainly been checking female employees for the purpose of my game at this point, and 5 out of every 6 had a trait like evil, insane, hotheaded or childish. With the first 2 (evil / insane) being WAY too common. I wanted to upload my save here but it says "Unsupported extension type" wether the original save file or a zip. I don't have onedrive and you don't accept files any other way, so I'm not sure how to proceed. By the way I check the traits of said sims with "show sim info" which changes nothing about the game other then having an way to find out stuff about existing sims.

1. Direct attachment (only for text files)
   • You can attach a text file directly to a forum post.
2. Upload with a OneDrive account
   • How to share files from OneDrive: LINK
   • The resulting file download URL can be included in a forum post, private message, etc.

We may not accept files uploaded with any other means.

As I mentioned above Option 1 doesn't work because it doesn't accept either zipped or unzipped saves and option 2 because I don't have a onedrive account. And other methods / upload sites arent accepted. So I think I ran out of options here.

[crinrict]

Can you upload it to any other site ? I can download and reupload to OneDrive for QA.

Direct upload is for txt files only as mentioned.

[AlHollandiyah]

Here it is. Thanks!
