For a general description of traits, see Trait.
For other examples of traits in The Sims series, see Trait (disambiguation).

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 three kinds of traits in the game, i.e. normal traits, bonus traits, and reward traits. Each kind has different ways to earn them.

List of Traits

Normal traits are main personality traits. Sims that are created in CAS may have up to three traits. These traits affect the Sim's emotions based on certain circumstances, i.e., a Creative Sim may become randomly Inspired, and Sims that Love the Outdoors will sometimes feel cooped up if they stay inside too long. The following list is the traits that appear in the game.
