Currently making characters for a new campaign and the activities tab is blank. Only activities that show up are ones from feats. I have changed modes at the bottom with no change outside of feat disappearing in downtime mode.

NVM just recreated characters and they showed up. Odd.

Supposedly this only happens if the Core Rules module isn't loaded, but I swear I've seen it once or twice despite that. Never been able to recreate it consistently.

The process is: When the character sheet is first opened in a FG session (either a new PC or opening an existing PC for the first time in that session) FG checks the activities tab - if it is empty (nothing at all - not even any sections) then the code will build the activities based off any activities in the campaign or open modules that are tagged as "Auto create". During this auto create process, if the Player Core (full or ORC) or Core Rules is not open a message will be output to chat indicating there isn't a base library module open.

Therefore, if a PC is created without a base library open and then at least one activity is created (either manually or via character creation) the base activities won't be created when the PC is opened in future - as the activities section isn't blank, and their won't be any messages as the code assumes something in the activities section is situation normal.

You can clear out all activities and rebuild via the chargen tracker right-click "Delete all activities and rebuild standard activities..." option - but this will delete all additional activities added as well, which can usually be rebuilt via the other chargen tracker right-click menu - "Rebuilt feat, feature and item activities."
