Sims 4 bugged perks spellcaster fix

[tirsden]

I'm making a note of this here so I can find it again later, sourced from user Zerioth on the EA Sims 4 forum who found a workaround for virtuoso spellcaster sims who end up in a bugged xp-bar loop and can't earn further perk points. I've substituted my preferred commands for turning cheats on and off.

1. Open console with CTRL+SHIFT+C and enable cheats: testingcheats on

2. Then type: stats.set_stat rankedStatistic_WitchOccult_WitchXP 50

3. Then type: stats.set_stat rankedStatistic_WitchOccult_WitchXP 2350

4. Then turn cheats back off with: testingcheats off

Copy/paste works using the longer lines of cheat code. What this does at steps 2 and 3 is reset the sim's spellcaster rank to neophyte and then sets it back to virtuoso. No perk points are lost in this process, and the sim is again able to earn spellcaster xp properly.

Edit: I'm also including the cheat to add a perk point, because the spellcaster xp bar likes to bug out right at the very end of the bar.

stats.set_stat rankedStatistic_WitchOccult_WitchXP 2850
