Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
Attempted to download specific sim from gallery (Loki Laufeyson by DolphinSimmer13) however he doesn't seem to actually exist? I cannot direct his actions, he only has one tab that displays a question mark and when opened full says "No Aspiration", and no portrait is displayed. Reset sim has in the past said sim not found but now goes through but does nothing. I have repaired game through Origin and deleted Sims 4 folder before adding in saved games then tray files. It is only this sim.
EDIT by Crinrict: Added Tag in title and adjusted title itself

Except I've downloaded sims that require packs I don't have in the past and they work fine? To confirm I just chose a random sim from the gallery (Jason by MgicBlueDragon) that also required packs I don't have (University, Stragerville, and Spa Day in this case) and it works fine. Still just Loki by DolphinSimmer13.

Probably depends on the features from the pack you do not own that have been used for the sim’s creation. e.g. a piece of clothing or an accessory is probably not a big deal if it is missing, however using traits or aspirations that are ‘unknown’ for you game might lead to bugs.
Have you tried using the cas.fulleditmode cheat? Maybe changing that sim traits/aspiration can help.

Thanks so much! I was worried something was wrong with my game, and admittedly, incredibly curious as to what was causing this. Suppose I'll just have to be aware of this issue if I ever download a sim that requires the GF pack.
