don lothario reacts to old traits

[vattumatonen11]

@crinrict Im sorry but I don't understand your question.
I added don Lothario in my household and I didn't like his traits so I changed them. the traits are now romantic, self-assured and family-oriented but he gets tense because he isn't working out enough because his original trait was active. he also gets tense when he goes to work because he was noncommittal and doesn't like having a long time career/job or be in a long-term relationship with my sim.

@vattumatonen11 

@crinrict is asking how you changed Don's traits?  Did you use the cas.fulleditmode cheat and then change the traits in CAS, or did you change them via a mod such as MCCC?

I have changed traits on sims both ways.  And sometimes it takes a while for the changes to show in game play.  One thing I will suggest you do after you've changed a sim's traits is to save and exit, delete the localthumbcache file and restart the game.  That fixes it most of the time but not always.  Sometimes a sim will be sort of stubborn and residuals from the traits you removed will hang around for a long time.  

Hope this helps.

@CGrant56 oh okay! I used cas.fulleditmode. thank you for giving me that tip. do you think it will work now that I have already played with the traits or should I change them again? because I can change the traits anyway.

@vattumatonen11 That is known to not work. Best is to use remove_trait and then equip_trait

Merged your post with the bug report.

Hello,

I got this problem yesterday on a character I originally downloaded on the gallery. The cheatscodes to remove/add trait didn't work for me, but it seems I finally found a solution and wanted to share it with you.

So the process is to change traits, not "remove" which is not exactly the same. I personally did it with MCCC, where you can change traits as you want. It works like the Re-Traiting Potion (5000 aspiration points) so I think it works in an unmodded game. You have to do it twice. If you're going to use this potion there is an aspiration points cheat, "sims.give_satisfaction_points [number of points]" if I'm not wrong. (10 000 is a lot) Let me explain. 

My character had two negative buffs, related to active and creative traits I didn't have. So, first, I changed and took these "creative" and "active" traits, then saved. My character now had in fact those traits. Then, I did it again and took my original traits back, which effectively deleted the active and creative traits. After few days in game, the negative buffs never occured again, so it seems to work. 

This can possibily work in CAS with fulleditmode. Change with the traits related to your negative buffs, save, then take your original traits and save again. But not sure, because CAS seems to be the source of the problem here. 

I don't know where to post this but this thread seems to be the most popular about this bug, so I hope it helps.

I'm still having this problem. Is there seriously no way for it to be fixed?

(For context, this first happened before the Infant update, it happened like one or two-ish months ago.)

So my Sim was one I got off the gallery and it had Ambitious as a trait. I despise the trait, (And he's unemployed, so he does too!) so I used cas.fulleditmode to get rid of the trait. It said that the trait was gone, it says it's gone in cas and everything else. But the issue is that I still get the negative effects from being an ambitious sim. Like not having a job.

@FairClarity I merged your post with the existing thread on this. This is an old issue. It's best to use the remove trait cheat instead of fulledit.

Re-add the trait, then remove again. You should find instructions for the cheat in this thread.

THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES OVER.

This is the only thing that worked for me.

Been wrestling with this issue for EVER and this finally worked. You are a star!

This sim was assigned the noncommittal trait through gameplay. After breaking up with so many sims I had the "discovered trait" popup notification for noncommittal trait. I selected yes, but after a while, I decided I didn't like this trait on my sim. I used the cheat "cas.fulleditmode", followed by shift clicking my sim and selecting "modify in CAS." Here I removed the noncommittal trait and went back into live mode. It's been several sim days and an IRL day. My computer and sims game have been fully shut down and turned back on and I am still receiving the negative mood buff from the noncommittal trait because my sim is in a relationship.
