- For trait systems in other games, see Trait.
Trait is a personality system in The Sims 4, similar to the trait system in The Sims 3. The personality system as a building block of Sims in The Sims 4 is a combination of trait from The Sims 3 and aspiration from The Sims 2. There are four kinds of traits in the base game: personality, bonus, death and reward. Each kind has different ways to earn them.
Learning traits
- See also: Trait conflict
As Sims socialize with others, they may reveal their traits from certain interactions. For example, asking a Sim's career will reveal if they have the ambitious trait, or flirting with a Sim may reveal the romantic trait. The Observant reward trait allows a Sim to instantly learn the traits of other Sims.
Personality traits
Adult Sims created in Create a Sim may have up to three traits. Teens created may have up to 2 traits, children may only have 1 trait, and toddlers have 1 personality trait that is different from the other traits. All traits affect a Sim's behavior and emotions, for example, a creative Sim may randomly become inspired, while a Sim that loves outdoors will sink into a low mood if they stay inside too long.
The following lists all traits that appear in the game.
Emotional traits
Icon | Trait | Description | EP |
---|---|---|---|
Active | These Sims tend to be Energized, can Pump Up other Sims, and may become upset if they don't exercise for a period of time. | ||
Cheerful | These Sims tend to be Happier than other Sims. | ||
Creative | These Sims tend to be Inspired, can Share Creative Ideas with other Sims, and may become upset if they're not creative for a period of time. | ||
Genius | These Sims tend to be Focused, can Share Ideas with other Sims, and may become upset if they haven't improved their Mental Skills for some time. | ||
Gloomy | These Sims tend to be Sad, can Share Melancholy Thoughts to other Sims, and while sad, gain a boost to their Creative Skill. | ||
Goofball | These Sims tend to be Playful. | ||
Hot-Headed | These Sims tend to be Angry, can Rile up other Sims, and become Angry when targeted with Mischief. | ||
Romantic | These Sims tend to be Flirty and may become Sad if they don't have any Romantic social interactions for a period of time. | ||
Self-Assured | These Sims tend to be Confident. | ||
Unflirty | These Sims get Tense around Flirty Sims and seldom get Flirty themselves. It's difficult for them to be Romantic in public. |
Hobby traits
Icon | Trait | Description | EP |
---|---|---|---|
Art Lover | These Sims gain powerful Moodlets from Viewing works of art and can Admire Art and Discuss Art in unique ways. | ||
Bookworm | These Sims gain powerful Moodlets from reading Books and can Analyze Books and Discuss Books in unique ways. | ||
Foodie | These Sims become Happy and have Fun when eating good food, become Uncomfortable when eating bad food, and can Watch Cooking Shows for ideas. | ||
Geek | These Sims become Happy when Reading Sci-Fi or Playing Video Games, may become Tense if they haven't played much, are better at finding Collectibles, and can Discuss Geek Things with other Geek Sims. | ||
Music Lover | These Sims gain powerful Moodlets and boost their Fun Need when Listening to Music and become Happy when playing instruments. | ||
Perfectionist | These Sims take longer to craft items but tend to make them higher quality, gain powerful Moodlets after crafting a high quality item, and gain negative Moodlets after crafting a low quality item. |
Lifestyle traits
Icon | Trait | Description | EP |
---|---|---|---|
Ambitious | These Sims gain powerful Moodlets from career success, gain negative Moodlets from career failure, and may become Tense if not promoted. | ||
Cat Lover | These Sims tend to make cats their companions, preferring the company of cats to other Sims. | ||
Child of the Islands | These Sims experience a spiritual connection to islands of Sulani. Honor the islands by partaking in their culture, summon powerful elementals and reap the rewards of their blessings—or the consequences of their disfavor. | ||
Child of the Ocean | Answer the call of the ocean! Sims with this trait will prefer water related activities and feel closer to denizens of the sea. | ||
Childish | These Sims gain powerful Moodlets from watching the Kids Network, become Playful when playing with Children, and become Happy when playing with Children's toys. | ||
Clumsy | These Sims tend to fail more often at physical activities and tend to laugh at failure instead of becoming upset. | ||
