It is indeed an easy fix and I believe it was mentioned in this now more than 40 pages long thread. So not taking credit, but repeating the method:
1. Go to your game directory and open 00_defines.txt (...\Steam\steamapps\common\Stellaris\common\defines\00_defines.txt - C:\ or whatever directory you have for you installation)
2. look for the key "GOVERNMENT_CIVIC_POINTS_BASE" without quotes (ctrl+f shortcut) and change the value from 2 to something like 9911, save the file
3. start the game, create new race and use Cheat Engine Scan mechanics to look for this value (9911 in this case) - "First Scan"
4. one of the Addresses found should look like "stellaris.exe+19969C4" use right click and "Add selected addresses to the addresslist"
5. now you look if you got the right one: change the value of your selected address (for example 991) and select a civic - it should now now update the number of civics left to pick ingame - maybe 990; if it doesn't, try the next address
6. if you found the right address, right click the pointer in the table ("Civic Picks") and select "Change record -> Address". Now enter the one you found ("stellaris.exe+19969C4") and save the table
Don't forget to re-edit the file 00_defines.txt and change the value back to "2" - see step 2.
