41 Must Know Trait Tips And Features [Base Game] | The Sims 4 Guide

This guide goes through a range of the base game traits (around half) and looks at ways in which they change how your sim interacts, both through unique moodlets they may receive, and through additional interactions that they'll be granted due to their traits.

The base game traits this guide covers includes Neat, Slob, Self-Assured, Cheerful, Gloomy, Perfectionist, Kleptomaniac, Clumsy, Romantic, Active, Snob, Genius, Lazy, Erratic, Glutton, Geek, Bro, Good, Evil, Mean and Bookworm.

A local radio host made the comment the other day, "there are those that pee in the shower, and then there are liars" 😂💀 couldn't help but think of that when you spoke about the slob trait 🤣

Gloomy sims also don't get a tense moodlet when they're around ghosts. Instead, they get an inspired moodlet from it. Probably a good trait to give your sim if you plan on having them live in a house with the spooky lot trait.

I enjoy giving my Sims the Evil and Mean traits because they make the game so entertaining and chaotic. Moreover, Sims who are active, geek, erratic, and neat are fun as well.

Gloomy Sims will also get inspired in the presence of ghosts. I know that from working as a doctor since hospitals never seem to hire new staff...LOL!

It would so soo dope if you wrote a challenge using your expansive sims 4 knowledge. It would be full of secret knowledge and players could learn so much about the game!
I wrote a challenge and I love playing it, but I don’t know much about all the hidden in game features (except from your videos). It’s so fun so I’d encourage you to consider it 😊😊

Bro sims can give a brother gift and another sim will always like it. For example, I gave 10 different sims regular poop with different friendships. Everyone was delighted!

This might actually make me try some more traits now that I know some of what it actually does.

I hated everything about slob sims, until you told me they pee in the shower. That is so darn convenient. Combined with steel bladder reward trait, they'll never have to use the bathroom 😂

Also whenever a genius sim gives a compliment to someone, the sim that receives the compliment will get a special moodlit

i once had a sim get the hypercharged moodlet and the glowing eyes from lightning strikes, and i had no idea it was trait related! it was quite a fun surprise

I'd love to know which interactions and whatnot are autonomous and which are exclusively done through player commad!
Great video! Looking forward to part 2 :)

[zacnieprawisz]

I love my Posadist sim with erratic and paranoid traits (paranoid is from the Strangerville pack)
It's no doubt my favourite sim, it has the best autonomous reactions

[UnassumingLlama]

I swear I always learn something new from your videos! Also notes for near sims, they always gain fun while cleaning. And for active sims, if you have the discover university pack, playing with the soccer ball doesn’t count as being active. I’m not sure about the football from high school years though

Self-assured sims are more likely to come home from work feeling confident... I think
Clumsy sims are more likely to break objects, unless they have high handiness skill. They get a playful "Silly Me" moodlet in some?? circumstances, have a unique playing darts animation and may 'break dishes' while washing them.

I also noticed, that if you have a lazy sim in a household, where you are using the laundry day featueres, they will always leave a pile of clothes on the ground when changing outfits, instead of going into the hamper automatically, meaning you have to pick them up manually.
However that didnt really bothered me, since if i cleaned them up with my child/teenage sims it would help them gain responsibility ^-^

Number 29 - One of the first ever mods I downloaded is related to this it was "No Autonomous Shower in Rain" by Bienchan because I was using a lot of Erratic Sims at the time was getting annoyed at that

The way i read the title as “fire trait tips” and thought there was a secret fire trait like pyromaniac or the new fear of fire… so confused 😂😂

Oh my gosh, you're so close to 50k! So proud of you!
