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? 1.46.18.120
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a trait like loner and replace it with a different trait with the re-traiting potion.
What happens when the bug occurs? The traits affect that was replaced with the re-traiting potion still lingers after it was replaced. Such as Romantic sims still getting the tense debuff from not flirting or loner sims keeping the solitude buff.
What do you expect to see? The previous traits affects should no longer affect the sim once they are replaced.
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? No
I figured this old problem would have been fixed with the added Re-traiting potion but this problem still exists.

This has been a known issue for years now but so far, I've only seen it reported for cheats (unsupported) and very rarely for gallery Sims.
I wonder if it happens to all traits or just certain ones.
Good Luck

I have this problem when I use the change traits reward potion. My Sim married an NPC who was a glutton. I had him change his traits with the potion, but he still has the glutton behavior. Had another Sim change his dog lover trait because I was tired of the "giddy" response, he still gets "giddy."
