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? 1.68.154.1020 (64 bit)
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Try to open the sim profile/sentiment panel in relationships
What happens when the bug occurs? The new sim profile/sentiments panel will only open once and will not show earned sentiments.
What do you expect to see? To see all information about sims and earned sentiments
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. When I updated to the new patch for Snowy Escape.
Basically, when you start up the game, you can open the sim profile but after that you cannot. When you open it it shows no sim information or sentiments when it has told me it's they've collected sentiments.

The panel appears mostly blank? It will open once, maybe twice, after that it will completely refuse to open? Even exiting to the main menu and loading a new save, it will still refuse to open? Only completely closing the game and re-loading, it'll do the same thing?
Same thing happened to me.
This will happen if you have any Trait mods. All trait mods were broken with this latest patch. Mine did the exact same thing until I removed them all.
Make sure to remove ALL trait mods and clear the game's cache files. It should work properly again. It did in mine.

So i just installed the update and I cant open my Sims profile? When I click the button nothing happens. I have tried removing my mods and it works but I don't know what mod is causing it. I looked at the broken mods forum and I already deleted the mods that were on that list but still doesn't do anything. I will do the 50/50 method but I want to know what might be causing this. Traits? Script Mods? It will definitely help if I found what kind of mod was causing it

Yeah, no. No it isn't. I don't have any trait mods, none of my mods are on the list of broken mods, so I'm confused as to why the sentiment system isn't working. I did what you suggested and it still isn't working.

Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199
You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files and make a backup.
After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.
Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.
The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.
Good Luck

I will try this on mine but I don't think that's my issue. I can't find the sim profiles at all.
I only replied on this one as I am hoping that the trait mods that I have are the issue and following what you have said will work.
