The traits error happens when you have the first panel (the one where traits are listed) open when they age up. Just switch to a different panel before having them blow out the candles and the trait should stick.
You misunderstand me. I've yet to have a problem when a Sim blows out candles - it's when they age naturally without a cake that they don't get the trait. If there was a workaround, I'd love to hear it.

He's correct - it occurs whenever a sim AGES that that's the case, regardless of whether it's candles or not. What I found was that I had to restart the game before I used the testingcheats -shiftclick - choose traits, otherwise it would keep "ignoring" that last trait.

She was shown as Loner and when I was going to choose her other trait (as the dialog suggested), the military social command "Salute" was there instead of a trait and couldn't be removed.
When I clicked OK, that trait disappeared and she never got a new one.
That's not exactly a bug. The social "salute" is a sort of hidden trait which is often inherited by the spawn of sims in high ranks of military career. I think it shouldn't be visible when you choose the traits (and this part may probably be bugged), but the fact it doesn't appear in the panel works as intended.
Thank you for the explanation! ;D
I started the father in military career before she was born, that explains why she got the trait.
I noticed some of my other kids having that social command thanks to their father being in military, but I never understood why.
But for them, the Salute command never appeared in the trait list, so it must be a bug that it was forced on the toddler.
The other kid that got the command was the son of an astronaut, the father was also a Sim I had created in CAS.
The father of the toddler was ex-social worker, and his trait list was bugged too. (only family trait)

I actually just noticed a problem with the way babies age in families you are not playing. I'm on my second generation, where I moved out five of the children of my founders into their own homes when they aged to young adult. At the time of moving out the last four, my heir had one child and a toddler who had been a toddler for about four sim days. I decided to create them CAS spouses after accidentally marrying off the first two and a day later the townie spouses became elders causing a very quick annulment. I spent about 2 sim days making all four of them get acquainted with their spouses, married, employed and impregnated then moved back to my main family. All was fine and well with the births when lo and behold 2 days later the babies are all toddlers which is fine but then 1 day later 1 of the toddlers was a child when my toddler was still a toddler and I am playing on the long life span. Very Annoying.
I also noticed something else interesting. When I left my main family for those two days I had sent the child to practice writing skill on the computer. On returning after 2 days he was very tired but still practicing writing and was at skill level 7, the same as his mother who wants to be a writer. He also had the go to park icon in his queue from when I had invited him to his Aunt's wedding. I was wondering why he didn't show up but now I know.

Either way, if you have the traits panel open when they age up (whichever method they're aging up through), it causes an error with the new trait being discarded.
I almost never have that panel up. I'm certain I did not when the Sims aged naturally.
That said, I did an experiment, and allowed another Sim to age naturally. This time the new trait stuck. About the only thing I did differently was fiddle pointlessly with the trait-choosing dialog after I'd chosen the trait.

I'm suffering dead spots involving bookshelves.
I had the Bookshelf Revisited and upgraded to the Penningway Bookshelf. Now, I can't get any sim in my house to put away a book. They complain that they can't get to it. Even if I put it outside near the corner of the lot. Even if I walk them outside within inches of the fuggin' bookshelf, they still whine about not being able to get to it. ???
I attempted to downgrade back to the Bookshelf Revisited and that didn't work. Anyone else suffering this? And no, I don't have a modded game and this is the first arr'd version, Reloaded I think.
