@CGK90 This happened to me after the latest update as well, I think it has to do with the newest update.

How do I attach the save files onto the message to send to the sims team?

@puzzlezaddict Do I just attach the save file on the forum?

I was having the same issue with my teen aging up and was trying multiple things to resolve it after the most recent update. I exited out to the main menu without saving and then played back through and saved before selecting the option to blow out the candles.  While this may not work for everybody, my teen had the option to graduate early.  So , I selected the option to graduate early from a computer and was finally able to age them up properly.

 

Things I tried that didn't work:

  1. Exiting out to the main menu without saving.
  2. Closing out of the game entirely without saving.
  3. Quit their side hustle as a Video Game Streamer.
  4. Traveled to another location and tried aging them up there.
  5. Tried a different cake.

Other notes:

  • My teen had the Overachiever trait and the Teen Highflier aspiration trait. 
  • They were also the oldest teen in the household. 
  • Their younger sibling aged up to a teen after the update.
  • While not specific to the issue labeled in this thread, the oldest teen also had issues of seeing the event options when going to the high school with their younger sibling.
    • This made it where they were not showing as completing the day and would show still show their homework as completed.
    • If this was not addressed, it would make it where you couldn't follow them to high school and could cause issues with them going to their after school activity.
    • A workaround was to travel with my teen sim having this issue to another lot to refresh the high school option.  This allowed them to do their homework and go their after school activity (So, you may have to travel between 3:00-3:30) .  This also allowed me to follow them the next day to the high school.  However, this issue would come back the following school day and the workaround had to be used again.

Hope this helps some of you at least.

Had this error happen to me too now - I have HSY installed, and the latest update, no script mods but CC installed.

I just had this issue, had my teen sim blow out the candles at a birthday party and no traits were added. I reloaded the save and tried using the cake but not having a party, and I did get the option to add traits. So it seems like the parties are bugged, not the cakes.

Just wanted to place this here for folks in case it helps: this bug seems to happen in my save when I age a teen sim up before their "actual" birthday. When I've tried to use a birthday cake to age a teen up and they still have, for example, 10 days left on their age counter, the no age up traits bug seems to occur. When I wait for the same teen Sim to get to "0 days left" on their age counter, then use a birthday cake to age them up, it works and I'm able to select/generate a trait as usual! I know it's not a full fix, but it might work for you if you're desperate like I was. Not sure what the correlation/causation situation is there but its been working for me....

 

I've shared a new unmodded save as requested earlier in the thread, too, so I hope it helps!

Playing the Sims 4 on my PlayStation and the 3rd traits do not always appear. Got the trait on my first teen when aged up but none since. Second tried a cake but nothing and 3rd forgot their birthday since was busy doing an event and they also did not get a third trait when they aged up. First teen who got a trait is what I am playing now, and family is non played now so will check to see if the fourth when becomes a young adult will get a 3rd trait.
