UPDATE: Important! New cas.fulleditmode game bug
🕑 Added 2023-03-24 13:34:54 +0000 UTC** UPDATE #2: No, this isn't an EP bug. It's a patch bug. Delaying getting the EP will not help you avoid this bug.
* UPDATE! This bug can also happen without cas.fulleditmode if you try to edit traits on Gallery Sims who had an extra trait.
If you have the new EP -- MAKE THAT IF YOU HAVE PATCHED -- you need to know that there's a bug with cas.fulleditmode and Sims with added traits (beyond the basic 3 traits). If you trigger this bug, all your household Sims will have the same name and your CAS UI will be corrupted. Worse, this bug can spread to other Saves.
This is the bug report on AHQ: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Wrong-names-and-CAS-Corruption-after-gaining-a-4th-trait/td-p/12395752 If you have experienced this bug, please "me too" the thread.
This is Crinrict's blog postabout the bug: https://sims4.crinrict.com/eng/2023/03/sims-all-have-the-same-name-corrupt-cas-ui/
You can avoid this bug:
- Back up your saves outside the game folder before you play. Make this a habit. Don't rely on an automated online backup (like Drive) to do this; there are known issues with this.
- Save the game before entering cas.fulleditmode. That way, when you do the next thing, you haven't lost a lot of gameplay. You might be fine if you're not touching Traits in CAS, but play safe!
- If you encounter the bug, exit without saving.
- Before you open a new save, exit and restart the start.
