Your characters in Sims 4 have their own personality traits, skill set, and much more. However, there might come a time when you start to feel that the traits of your sim aren’t in sync with the gameplay, or you wish to add some other trait, then here’s how you can use the Sims 4 change traits option.
The adult sims can have a maximum of 3 traits, teens can enjoy two traits, and children, as well as toddlers, can only have one trait. There are two ways to do so: cheating and re-traiting potion. So let’s learn more about these two methods.
Types of Traits
There are numerous characteristics for you to edit, and they are –
Personality | Emotional, hobby, lifestyle, social, and toddler. |
Death | Ghost |
Bonus | Animal affection, high metabolism, muser, dastardly, domestic, essence of flavor, business savvy, quick learner, home turf, alluring, collector, gregarious and entrepreneur. |
Reward | Aspiration reward, inherited, toddler skill reward, child aspiration, character value, satisfaction reward, career reward, food mastery, mountaineer, temporary and sage. |
How to Change Sims 4 Traits?
1. Re-Traiting Potion
One of the ways to change traits Sims 4 is to use the re-traiting potion from the reward store with 5000 satisfaction points. To go to the rewards store,
- Navigate to the Aspirations tab in the upper right-hand corner
- Click on the “Present Icon.” There you’d see the “Re-traiting Potion” from the Potions category.
You can change your sim’s entire personality with this potion, which doesn’t cost that much.
You can view this potion in your sim’s inventory, and when you click on it, you will get an option to change your sim’s personality traits and choose 3 new ones.
You can earn satisfaction points through whims or by using a cheat code, sims.give_satisfaction_points # (replace # with the amount of satisfaction points you want).
In case you want to use whims for earning points, then you need to enable them again because they were turned off by going to “Options’ > ‘Game Play’ > ‘Show Whims.” Once you do this, you can collect whims for doing every day activities and gain satisfaction points.

faqs
Unfortunately, it’s not possible to edit traits Sims 4 in MC Command Centre because MCCCs creator would only offer this option if the game developers bring in the new UI element.
You can’t change your sim’s traits unless you use the re-traiting potion or cheats to achieve this option. At times, CAS mode also doesn’t allow you to change traits in Story mode. If you’re in the Story mode, then you have to answer a set of questions, and based on that, you can change the sim’s traits or use cheats too.
Conclusion
Change is the only constant, and Sims 4 change traits option believes in this phrase. You now have the chance to edit your sim’s appearance, characteristics, voice, age, and so much more.
This way, you can bring in an exciting twist to the game and prevent it from being stagnant. You can be as creative as you want. So try this out soon!
