No matter what I do, I can’t chose a profession. Yes, I leave points open but that is a nonissue because I want to take chain smoker. I can select it all I want but I can’t actually OBTAIN it. This is terrible as I need to take the pretty stat or I’ll NEVER BE FABULOUS. ANy fixes for this lads?

By the way, do you use ENTER to select it? Because you select traits using SPACE.

Neither for me.  
Have you deleted old data and save files before copying the new ones?

Or herhaps some professions need more than 1 point? If you can’t pick one with 6 points left I have no idea then.
