Well I noticed that for a very strange reason what was set in formal keep going into the other categories when I created a new sim. If that is the bug ... they put it back ... on a stuff pack ... good God ...
It wasn't on the stuff pack nor its patches, since I'm having the same issue and I'm on 1.8/2.3. I've installed all patches up to those before even starting the game, but I think it didn't use to happen some time ago. Could it be caused by AwesomeMod? I've updated it not long ago. My other mods are all far simpler things.
