anyone know if the no food decay still works?

Ignore this post, missed seeing that it had already been answered

progress on the whole game or just on the sims?

My suggestion would be to save the family to library.  Also save your lot to the library.  Start a new game and put the family and lot back in.  See if it works.  You will have lost any friends etc but the rest might still work.  It's only a chance though, it's quite possible that the saved sim family might not work even in a new game, but again, it's the only thing I can see maybe working for you.  Other people may have more ideas for you to try but that is all I can come up with.

Note that if you do this, save the family and lot to library, then remove all the saves again, you don't want them in the save folder at all.  Then start a new game.  But don't delete the old saves either.  If you can't get it to work you may want to finish the current game without the mod so that you don't lose them.  I have done that.  Wanted to play with a mod but the save wouldn't work with the mod so just continued the game without it and next game put the mod in.  It was also a mod that changed trait values but at the time I hadn't thought about saving the family and lot and seeing if it would work.  Give it a go and see.

Just remove ALL mods, and ALL custom content.  Put ONLY this mod in and see if it works.  If it does then it is conflicting with another mod or custom content. If it doesn't then I would suggest some game files or save files have corrupted the game.

Actually, remove all the save files as well, just move them to a temporary folder.  If the mod works with mods, CC and save files gone, then one of those is the culprit.  If it doesn't then it might be corrupted game files.  Unless you have edited the mod, in which case that might be the problem.

Thank you SO much Cool, you do amazing work and we are so grateful for the time and energy you put into this for us, it is much appreciated

ah okay thanks, wasn't sure

does this work on fish/harvested fruit/mushrooms etc that you put into the fridge?

cuz you are just THAT AWESOME!!!!

Have a great break (well deserved in my opinion) and enjoy the holidays.  Thanks so much for the quick work on the mod, very much appreciated.

okay don't want to get too far off the main part of the thread.or well maybe I do, heheeheh.but I adore British Comedy.Red Dwarf, Are You Being Served, Keeping Up Appearances, Blackadder, Mr Bean, Absolutely Fabulous, Yes Minister, Thin Blue Line, Miranda (God I love this show), and some older ones like Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em, and Benny Hill.  I could probably add another dozen or more but I think you get the idea.

nope the all rewards one works great, I only had to do a slight edit with the Sims 4 Studio, but Cool gave such a great step by step on the first page of this thread I had that working in just a few minutes.  The problem I was having was with the one that allowed for extra CAS traits to be added.  But I am keeping my eye out for when Cool has a chance to work on it at some point in the future and will switch over to that one once it is updated.  I think part of the problem was that I don't have a couple of the newer packs and that was making things just that extra little bit complicated.  But I have a workaround for now with the mod I listed above filling in until Cool's is ready.

heheeh.hungry chirping hatchlings, that's funny

yeah, I can't even begin to imagine how difficult and probably frustrating it is to make mods.  but I know I am very thankful for the work of modders, you all make the game SO much better.  I think I now have 9? of your mods installed.  Maybe more, I can't recall off the top of my head.  But thank you for your work.  Also thanks for all the help you gave in trying to help me get things working.  And even though I stumbled across another mod that worked, I still will be looking for your updated mod at some point in the future.  I like to keep my mods to as few creators as possible.

now two questions.unrelated to this thread.  First - is your profile pic Kryten from Red Dwarf?  Second - are you from London England or London Ontario, cuz if it is London Ontario then we live in the same city.

Have a good one, thanks again for everything!!

okay update.

these three mods are working for me: buyable motive traits no decay, get to know no cooldown, all traits in reward store 1500 cost.  They all worked right from the beginning.

The mod that doesn't work for me for some odd reason is the more personality traits mod. 

However, I have just found and installed this mod

More CAS Traits for Sims Mod updated for Cats & Dogs patch by Chingyu1023 over at modthesims and it works.  It made all the buttons useable in the rewards store, the CAS traits I already had were greyed out.  I was able to purchase 5 more (I used the package that allowed total of 8 for YA).  Once I had my 8 the rest of the CAS traits greyed out as they were supposed to.  I then went back to save game and started it up with the 25 CAS traits option and it too worked.  No idea why the one works and the other doesn't but I am now able to get all the traits for 1500 including the CAS traits so I am good.

There are a bunch of life skills that go with parenting.  Are you sure you got all of them?  You'll need to remove

Good Manners, Bad Manners, Responsible, Irresponsible, Mediator, Argumentative, Compassionate, and Insensitive.

I don't remember seeing Emotional Control and Uncontrolled Emotions, but if they're in there,  you'll need to remove those, too.

 

 

yup.all the ones from parenting had the tag lifeskills with them but I got them all

ElijahWinter, do you have all of the expansion packs and game packs?

 

Nope I have:

City Living

Get Together

Get to Work

Dine Out

Spa Day

Outdoor Retreat

Vintage Glam

Perfect Patio Stuff

Of the 5 packs listed on the first page of thread where I need to remove stuff from the add traits package, I only removed the stuff from Parenting, as I had the other 4 and so didn't need to remove anything else, just the parenting lifeskills

So I thought maybe there was something left over somewhere from other mods or whatever, so I went to Documente/Electronic Arts and removed my Sims 4 folder.  This basically amounts to a reset to factory defaults.  I installed only the All Traits in Reward Store 1500 and the More Personality Trait Slots 50.  I started a brand new sim in a clean game and the same problem persists.  Did it again with the More Personality Trait Slots 50 and Add/Remove Trait Non Debug and same problem.

So at this point I haven't a clue and have pretty much given up although willing to try anything anyone might suggest.

huh, so it's just me it seems.I wonder what I have managed to screw up somehow

hmmm, just an update.  I was reading through the thread again and on page one you say this

Until then, you can use the Extra Personality Trait mod and the Add & Remove Trait Non Debug mod to achieve pretty much the same end result of sims with more traits.

So I tried that as a workaround.  I get the same problem, none of the CAS traits are available to add.

Hi Coolspear and thanks for responding.  There is no hurry, I will just have to play without those mods is all, it's kind of a bummer but the game is otherwise playable.

As to if I am certain it's the root of the issue, I'm not.  I have not a clue how modding works.  But with all other CC and mods removed, including MCCC, and only those 4 mods of yours installed (although I didn't take them out one at a time to see if somehow they were causing the problem) I think it must be.  As I said the mod to put all the CAS traits into the reward store does work, I can see them there.  I just can't purchase any despite having the AP to buy them.  So from there I just assumed it was the mod that increases how many traits are allowed.

I don't have very many packs, but of the ones you list in your tutorial on how to remove traits from the on package, I have all except the parenthood one, and followed the instructions to remove them.  It worked obviously as I can see all the other CAS traits in rewards store. 

At some point today I will take out all CC and mods again including the other two of yours, the buyable motive no decay and the get to know no cooldown and see what happens.  If it doesn't fix it I will just play without the mods since for whatever bizarre reason they aren't working for me.

I am having a bit of a problem with the more personality traits mod.  All of the CAS traits are greyed out and I get the message that is listed on the first page.  I don't understand why I am getting that message

-- Not enough Aspiration Points to purchase Trait. (Unless Free version installed.)

I have over 3000 AP so should be able to purchase a new trait.

-- Not the correct age for Trait.

I am young adult so should be able to get up to 50 traits as that is the package I installed

-- Sim already has the Trait

nope I am trying to pick other traits and ALL of the CAS traits are greyed out

-- Conflicts with another Trait the sim has.

again nope, I am trying to pick other traits and ALL of the CAS traits are greyed out

-- No more Trait slots available on the sim.

I should have 50 slots available and have only 4 filled

I removed all other mods except for

- buyable motive traits no decay

- get to know no cooldown

- all traits in reward store 1500 cost

- more personality traits the 50 for YA and older

Not sure what to do at this point.  I have tried removing all cc and mods other than those 4 and it doesn't work.  I do have MCCC but also removed it.  I have tried pre-made characters as well as new characters.  I have started them with different CAS traits or in different towns, nothing seems to work.  I have removed the traits as per the instructions on page 1 of this thread for the lifeskills traits as I don't have that pack.  Any help figuring this out would be greatly appreciated.

Is there anything that can be changed in MCCC that could affect this?  Do changes carry over from game to game, ie if I make a change in one game and start a new sim, will those changes carry over.  If so then perhaps something I did in MCCC is causing the problem?

Do I have to spend a certain amount of days in game before the traits become available?  If I turn aging off or freeze my age, will that have any effect?  I am just at a loss here and it's frustrating me.
