What else do you need?

Custom User Profile Properties (and several of the Out of Box ones) depend on a Managed Metadata Service Application being setup and associated with the application you’re working with. This is fairly trivial to setup. Just remember that after you set it up via the UI, you’ll need to start it on the “Manage services on this server” page, and then perform an IIS reset. Forgetting these will keep your Managed Metadata service from working.
