BUG: Sim is missing all his traits

Problem
When I want to create a Sim in CAS, I can't choose any traits or the lifetime wish. All my already created Sims miss them too.

Cause
This problem is caused by incompatible Mods/Hacks that change anything about the traits (list not conclusive) 

• Hidden Traits unlocked (Treeag - HiddenTraits.package)
• Unlocked Traits for babies and toddlers for predestination (UnlockedTraitsToddlersBabiesjimTNW.package)
• More Children LTR and Traits (JTP_childLTR.package, JTP_childTraits.package, JTP_childLTR_childTraits.package)
• Cooking And Ingredients Overhaul (CookingAndIngredientsOverhaul.package) 

Solution
Remove the mod can clear your cache files.

To restore the traits for existing Sims, use the cheat  testingcheatsenabled true, shift-click on the Sim and choose Add Traits.

BUG: Missing Traits

Problem
When growing up, I gave my Sim the the extra trait he was entitled to but now it's missing.

Solution
Manually add the trait with the cheat testingcheatsenabled true.

If the trait still does not stick, take your sim to the mirror and change his hair and then add the trait again. Also make sure to change the tabs a few times to see if it really didn't stick.

How to prevent (theory)
On the window where you choose the trait there is a little picture of your Sim. Wait until it has completely changed to the new age group before pressing ok.


If you are missing ALL your traits (especially in CAS) that is because of incompatible mods in your game. Remove the mod and clear your cache files. If you saved your game like this you will need to add the traits back manually as well.
