Re: [OPEN] Unable to select traits in CAS

★★★★ Novice

been having this same issue since the patch it’s only when i’m trying to create new sims in cas. one thing i’ve found to work is creating my sim then pressing the dice to randomise the traits even though i can’t see the traits it lets me leave cas. once im in live mode i go back into cas full edit and i can see their traits and then i edit them how i want

 

it’s frustrating that this glitch isn’t just gone but at least there’s a work around

Same problem here, also cannot even open CAS  everytime you want the sims to change new clothes for example, despite removing tons of mods.

This happened to me sometime last week, but it fixed itself after closing and reopening the game. I'm sorry to see not everyone was as lucky

I also had to do that for a while! Mine eventually started showing back up (after I put mods back in AHAHAHA) and I haven’t had issues since. Fingers crossed it stays that way

Sims trait disappeared from CAS panel

What is your current game version number? 1.108.335.1020

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? If you go into CAS you’ll find it
What happens when the bug occurs? The traits and preferences won’t show up rending it impossible to CAS.
What do you expect to see? You to fix this so the traits and preferences can come back

Please describe the patch or change you made. Yes after downloading lovestruck and the patch update as everything was working after the 23rd July update.

I’ve tried to uninstall then reinstall only for the same thing to happen, I’ve even tried to repair it three times after removing the CC thinking this would help and it’s still the same, it’s really annoying as without the lovestruck update this would still be working.

Traits missing in CAS

★★★ Newbie

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.108.335.1020.DX9
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? I have all expansions, game packs, and stuff packs except Lovestruck.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Check CAS.
What happens when the bug occurs? The bug is that traits do not appear when I'm trying to create a sim. I can press the "random" trait button, and I think it creates a group of traits, but I can't see them. (You can see the screenshot below.)
What do you expect to see? I expect to be able to see the traits and choose specific ones to create a Sim.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

I'm not certain what to add. It just doesn't appear, and that's never happened before, but it keeps happening even after I exit and reload.

Re: [OPEN] Unable to select traits in CAS

@GoldGoddezz I found a fix, albeit very round-about that might help even when making new sims

 

> enter New Game > once in CAS randomize traits > Load sim into world once done > do cas.fulleditmode in console cheats > Shift click sim

 

You should be able to have full access to editing traits from there and you'll actually be able to see the traits this go around. I tried this with and without mods and is the most surefire way to fix this bug until it can be fixed by EA in the next update.


I hope this works okay for you like it did me!
