More Traits in CAS - v1t

If you need help with the mod, please go to our Discord server instead of posting here. Do not post here or in the Discord right after a patch to say that it is broken, we are active during patches and working on it unless we say otherwise.


Updates:


Have you ever wished your sims could have more than three traits? Perhaps there simply wasn't enough room for all of your desired ones and the limitations of the base game forced you to narrow it down to three again, leaving you conflicted at the menu.

Introducing More Traits in CAS! (And now impacts lots!)

Now your sims can have up to five different traits with absolute ease, giving your sims the possibility to have more depth and personality than before. With this mod, your sim can be a loner, clumsy, a dog lover and vegetarian! Never again will you have to watch your supposedly vegetarian sim happily eat a hamburger again just so he could be a music lover instead. The combinations are endless, at least if you don't do the math on that!

Together with adult sims, all other ages (except infant) have additional trait slots now too:

Yes, you read right. Your toddlers can now be fussy and clingy. Isn't that great? Infants will remain at 1 trait though, due to their already chaotic nature and it fits with how the other ages go down by 1.

Lots can now have 5 lot traits as well (this is due to an unfixable EA change that connects CAS slots to Lot slots).


Other things to consider:

~ Neia's/KingZace More Clubs Per Sim
~ Flerb's addon_Flerb_more_traits.package from the Automatic Sunburns V10a mod
~ Bienchen's LessLongLivingActiveSims
~ Chingyu's MoreTraitsMod_Options file if you aren't using the compatible version.
~ Age Matters by SotaruSims


How do I use More Traits in CAS?

Using this mod is very simple as it merely extends the trait bar in CAS by one or two hexagons depending on the age, and lets you select extra traits for your sim. To use this mod on an existing sim or household, simply edit them using the cas.fulleditmode cheat, MCCC, or Chingyu1023’s AddTraitsMenu.

Is uninstalling the mod okay?

Yes. If you remove the mod, the extra traits disappear from your sim, but this won't cause any issues.

Why does the first part of CAS and CAS Stories still show three traits?

This is only a visual bug. It won't impact the traits you can pick for your sim.

Is this mod compatible with custom traits?

Yes, it is! However, old custom traits made or updated before Snowy Escape were broken by an EA update back then, so you'll need to get an update by the creator.

Am I able to change the number of traits?

Yes, if you're using the version compatible with Chingyu1023's mod and have both installed, you are able to add more than the maximum amount of traits in-game through their menus. These will, however, not be displayed in CAS.

How do I install?

Installation is easy; choose ONE file only, then simply drop the downloaded file into your mods folder.

Are there older versions available?

If for some reason you have not updated yet and want a previous patch version, you can find old versions here. Please do not ask for support when using older versions.


⚠️ 📣 Why do the extra traits not stay after exiting CAS? 📣 ⚠️

This is because:

1) You have a conflict, please check the above for a list.

2) You installed the ChingyuOptionsCompatible version but do not have the required files!

That second reason is the most common issue that we hear about. Please do not download that file if you are not using the MoreTraitsMod_Options file from this mod. When in doubt download the regular version, do not download the compatible.


⛔ The chingyu_AddTraitsMenu, 100 Base Game Traits, etc. have nothing to do with More Traits in CAS and do not require the compatible version. Please only download the compatible version IF you are using a MoreTraitsMod_Options file from this mod.


If you need help with the mod, please go to our Discord server instead of posting here. Do not post here or in the Discord right after a patch that it is broken, we are active during patches and working on it unless we say otherwise.

alright thank you so much!

If you check the top of that BE does it say "Detection Type: ALL UI mods".? That means it could have been anything (even the game itself), as BE will list every UI mod installed when it can't determine what caused the issue. If you are consistently having this "ALL UI mods" notification, please go to Sims After Dark for general game help. http://discord.gg/simsafterdark If it does not say "Detection Type: ALL UI mods" at the top, please go to our Discord server instead and upload your BE file with more info on what you were doing in CAS to trigger it and if you tested the mod alone with no other mods or CC installed. https://discord.gg/YJTcTBSE3h

Pancake & Mizore

hi im getting a ui last exception saying this mod needs to be updated, are you going to update it anytime soon?

Carrie Ely

Remove KingZace's More Clubs Per Sim and any other conflicts listed above. If you don't have those, 50/50.

Pancake & Mizore

Hi, I've been using this mod no problem and then all of a sudden it stopped working? I get the notification saying things are missing in CAS and when I open it up, I only have the three showing even when making a new Sim. It started after I updated Better Build Buy so I thought that was the problem but the problem still consisted even after taking it out to check.

Jaxx Miller

I love this mod. I wish I could give more than one heart!

Stevi Hjertstedt

I'm willing to wait for this mod to be fixed; just means that I'll have to play something else for a while.

Crazygirl11683

Guys be patient, modding and creating scripts takes time. the patch dropped no more than 24hrs ago which mean they're aware and working on it.

Hypa Smiley

guys, it'll get updated (ꐦ𝅒_𝅒) it's literally been ONE (1) day, go outside get some fresh air like ૮ – ﻌ–ა

luma

Expansion isn't released yet and neither is the related patch, so there's no way to tell until that patch arrives. For future reference you can always check the latest mod news on the front page via the "Mod Status for Patch #" posts. Should be in your emails as well if you didn't turn that system off. https://www.patreon.com/posts/91986216 Also, if there is no update note at the top of the download post that means it's compatible for a patch.

Pancake & Mizore

Does this Mod still work with the recent Update and the upcoming Expansion Pack?

Lucia The Sylveon

I love this Mod so much, its a lifesaver, because now we can add more Traits to our Sims, its wonderful, I'm speechless, continue your great work!

Lucia The Sylveon

thank you thank you thank you

Miss Faye

Thank you SOOOO much!!!

Debra Davis

I really can't play anymore the sims 4 without this mod ! I always thought that 3 traits, it is really not enough. And with growing together, even if our sims can earn more traits now, i still want to use this mod ! thank you to you !

AngeHellback

Thank you. I really rely on this for game play. Your work is very appreciated.

Misty Williams

thank you so much

wickedplumbobs

Thanks :)

Ace Shadow

Hiya, as stated in the release notes: "Delete the previous TUNINGONLY file, it is not needed anymore. Clear your avatarcache and localthumbcache before launching your game with the new version." Make sure to download the newest version.

Pancake & Mizore

Do I need "thepancake1-MoreTraitsInCAS-v1k-1.96_TUNINGONLY" package file?

Lucia The Sylveon

THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU! =D

GeorgiaMommyPeach

ahhhh im so happy you are the best

Groovy Simming

Wow that was quick for more traits! was expecting it to take a week or so ththanks!

Andrew C

You fixed it!!!! I can’t imagine how much time you must’ve spent on this. You should be SO proud of yourselves!! Amazing, amazing job!

Demlii

AWESOME!! Thank you!! 😘😘😘

GeorgiaMommyPeach

How you are all so astounding, superb!

Dovelette

Gosh, how frustrating for you to not be able to figure out what they changed! I hope you don't have to recode the whole mod or something. Thank you so much for the partial patch in the meantime. You absolutely did NOT have to do that. We appreciate you!

Amanda Garcia

You are amazing! thank you!

Groovy Simming

Thank you thank you for the update!!

Misty Williams

Please be patient. Don't have an ETA.

Pancake & Mizore

When can we expect an update?

P P

Of course, and yes.

Pancake & Mizore

will this be updated for growing together, and is this compatible with ui cheats extension?

Lucia The Sylveon

REMINDER: Please do not post on here asking for help or to report possible bugs, you need to go to our Discord where it's easier to troubleshoot and pass along files. https://discord.gg/YJTcTBSE3h

Pancake & Mizore

Do you mean they keep disappearing when you get in-game? Check the "Why do the extra traits not stay after exiting CAS?" section of the mod info for info on that. -thepancake1

Pancake & Mizore

My traits keep once I got in game. I'm not sure what could be conflicting to cause that.

Jasmine Kettledon

Only way that happens is with an alternate file installed that is overriding ours, such as Chingyu's More Traits.

Pancake & Mizore

Linked in the post under "Are there older versions available?"

Pancake & Mizore

hi! i have an issue i think 'cause all of my npc-sims (and not only them) now have about 10 traits instead of 5, is it normal?😅

sam morallee

Is it possible to find old versions somewhere?

Anastas Radonski

It's been fixed for a while. Please delete your old files and download the newest update, clear your localthumbcache and avatarcache (tutorial: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2014/09/delete-cache-files/). If still experiencing issues, you have a different UI mod causing issues or are on an outdated game version. UI mods that broke last patch besides More Traits in CAS: More Columns in CAS Color Sliders CC Wrench Mods More Clubs Per Sim Neighborhood Stories Viewer Dark Mode UI by Dskecht

Pancake & Mizore

can't wait for this to be fixed

where the heck is the download

thank you so much for the update!!!

Miss Faye

Thanks. 😀

Not sure if you missed my previous message but I explained it in your previous post, "Detection Type: ALL UI Mods" means it can't figure what the cause is and is likely an EA error or regular mod (like traits) you encountered, as again it is working fine in our game with no errors. Make sure to clear your avatarcache and localthumbcache if you don't regularly as those files can hold old info, and make sure your regular trait mods are fully updated and working. Tutorial on clearing caches: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2014/09/delete-cache-files/

Pancake & Mizore

hello i really love this mod. :( but it's giving me BE error.. Detection Type: ALL UI Mods

McLayneSims

Pancake & Mizore

That still sounds like a conflict, so you will need to 50/50. Be aware that there might be other mods we haven't checked yet that can conflict, like possibly the new Dark Mode mod.

Pancake & Mizore

The mod is constantly in my folder when I load the game and I do not get BEs from it, so it sounds like BE can't figure out the issue from an EA error (which it does encounter too) and is listing all the UI mods you have, which if this is the only one then that is the only one that will show. The detection type is called "Detection Type: ALL UI Mods".

Pancake & Mizore

Hi, when i load the game i get a BE error about the UI. Please could you update it. I really love your mod

Sharon

i cant get the trait slots to show up, like i still have 3 for adults. i have the regular version bc i dont have the more traits mod. am i missing a step? the file is in the mods folder. and i dont have any of the conflicting mods or files.

Centree Walton

Be aware that if BE can't figure out what is causing a UI issue, it lists ALL the UI mods you have, which if this is the only one it will be the only one in the list. The detection type is called "Detection Type: ALL UI Mods" Also be aware that it catches EA UI errors too and will result in the same message. Since I have BE in my game as well and we have not received other reports, so it's very likely an EA error you are getting and can be ignored.

Pancake & Mizore

hi! i really love this mod.. it's functioning but it's giving me Better Exceptions UI Exception Report by Twisted Mexi "The following UI Mods may have been responsible for your UI Exception. Make sure they are all updated, or removed if a working update is not available. If the mod is a multi-file mod, be sure to update or remove all files."

McLayneSims

Thank you for updating!

solita sims

Clear your localthumbcache and avatarcache (https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2014/09/delete-cache-files/), make sure there are no older versions of the mod in your folder, and check that your other UI mods like CC wrenches or UI cheats are updated.

Pancake & Mizore

Hello, I'm still seeing the green menu bug on my game.

Wulfty

They edit the same file, so likely whichever is first in your folder is blocking the other from properly working. If you've been using More Traits without issues, then likely the disappearing features would be on More Clubs side, probably in a section of the UI you just haven't noticed yet.

Pancake & Mizore

How does it conflict with KingZace More Clubs Per Sim? I use them both since mostly 2 years and never seen bugs with this…

Boum

Yup, that would be the issue. Just make sure to use the regular file going forward if you don't have Chingyu's specific file described above installed.

Pancake & Mizore

for some odd reason my extra traits aren't staying on my sims i spent some time updating most my households just for the traits to be removed after leaving the game and getting back on (edit* just realized i downloaded the 2nd file and not the first one maybe thats my issue)

DR.SIMS

i thought the extra lot traits originally was apart of the mod .. i have been using it forever lol..i found out accidently a while ago lol..thank u for this mod really the best

Des

Thank you for the v1h update and the additional lot traits feature!

Tasher

Mod was already updated right after the patch, FYI, and a new one for different issues has just been published. When checking for updates/statuses, always check our newest post as it will list what's broken/needing updates. And then when mods are updated we list them in the same status post, while also updating the original post with the updates, which is described at the top of the post under "Updates". If you are still experiencing visual issues, take out your wrench mod, check for old versions, and clear your localthumbcache and avatarcache.

Pancake & Mizore

Hi! The mod is causing a glitch in CAS where all the question marks are replaced by the Preferences icon. Also, the Aspiration Categories tooltip has a glitch on its background.

Roge

Took a bit but I found the mod, thanks for letting us know.

Pancake & Mizore

This mod is just brilliant! Thank you for sharing it!

Stevi Hjertstedt

I've discovered that this mod conflicts with Sotaru's AgeMatters, even with only those two mods. The traits are able to be added via CAS, but once reloading the extra traits are gone. I have read the conflicts and I did install the correct one without Chingyu's compatibility, as I do not have their MoreTraits mod.

nuupon

It is More Columns, All Scenarios, Color Sliders, and...think that's it so far? causing the CAS bugs, but not More Traits in CAS, and it also has no effect on orientation so that's likely something else in your game. Please remember to take out ALL mods after patch days unless they have been cleared or updated, and clear your localthumbcache and avatarcache when adding/removing mods.

Pancake & Mizore

i think this or the more columns mod are messing wiht the new update for sexual orientation as i cant use it and those two are the only cas mods i have installed excluding cc however cc does not impact gameplay unless its build cc and i'm talking abt cas cc. it also has broken ui, but i can still use it as i could before the update EDIT: its a miuxture of both lol, ui was more columns, this mod is probably the reason i cant use sexual orientation EDIT2: removed this mod, still cant use it lol

zenith horsch

i thought that was normal lol

zenith horsch

I suspect this mod might be the culprit behind the fact that my werewolves have more temperaments than they should be able to have. It seems that increasing the number of trait slots also increases the number of temperaments werewolves can have.

Amber Slovick

can you make more slots please i would like to give my sims more than 5 traits so it gives them more of a personality and could you make favourite foods choice like sweet and savoury please and could you make more choice amount for the likes and dislikes please

MissMix

It still works, please make sure you aren't using ChingyuCompatible if you don't have the required files installed.

Pancake & Mizore

Hello! Just wanted to let you know that the More Traits mod has stopped working for me. I tried reinstalling it incase I had an older version and tried it in my game with no other mods installed but it is still not working and only shows the three normal trait slots. Don't know if anyone else has reported this issue but thought I would let you know!

Midnight Sun

for example, toddlers only keep one trait because that is the one that ea coded for them. so when I choose another trait for them it doesn't add it onto it.

gothslut

Hey, just wanted to let you know that this mod is currently not working with the new update. Whenever I go into CAS, the trait slots are there and so are the traits I chose to put in them but as soon as I leave CAS, the only traits that stay are the amount that are automatically designated to every age group in the Sims 4.
