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 🤣
That radio host outed himself as a disgusting animal, that's all.
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 heard gloomy sims also gain skills faster while sad.
@@multiversalguy by default sims gain creative skills faster while sad, tho not as fast as when inspired
1:58 Dude is mourning his friends death, and the Reaper just having fun on the dude game console lol
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.
I must say I am so here for the chaotic gameplay!
I'm playing 100 BC, my firstborn is evil, my secondborn is mean and hates children, my thirdborn is a slob and my fourth Sim is a fussy toddler. Yeah, chaos runs in these kinda challenge
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!
Thank you so much for sharing that awesome bit of extra info Sabrina :) Much appreciated always!
that's kinda depressing tbh 💀💀
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 😊😊
A fun and difficult challenge would be to have a sim have all the possible traits. Now you can change traits, you could modify their behaviour until the game suggests you want to change your trait. You have to get all the adult traits possible before your sim dies of old age.
@@andreamyob9458 wouldn't you need Growing Together to have that option though?
@@MelissaLawrence2002 yes I think so
Ooh I will have a think! I would be down to potentially make a challenge in the future!
@@PeteyPlaysIt please do! can't wait to try it. I'm a recent subscriber for only a month or so but I genuinely like your stuff
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 😂
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!
Love Grim just vibing on the Gaming Mat. 2:12
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
Also whenever a genius sim gives a compliment to someone, the sim that receives the compliment will get a special moodlit
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 :)
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
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 ^-^
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
i think they overcompensated for that in hsy because now EVERY sim gets a Tense +1 (lowering) moodlet saying "not enough exercise" when they play with the rugby ball with someone else lol. didnt know the discover uni football doesnt count as exercise, it gives hella slimming and toning tho
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.
Ardelin coming through with the added hot tips! Thank you so much for sharing :).
They get the "silly me" moodlet after they stumble sometimes. I hadn't noticed my clumsy guy getting it after breaking dishes though
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 😂😂
Omg ahahaha sorry for the confusion!
Oh my gosh, you're so close to 50k! So proud of you!
Thank you so much Cow Plant :D, appreciate this!
Now 60k!
I knew a lot of those features, but I just love your videos. Very handy for begginers and even for advanced simmers. 💛🌼🌌
Thanks for the lovely comment Awelem :).
Thanks Petey! You are a wealth of knowledge!
I love these videos. I always learn new stuff that I want to try out, and it always makes me want to play.
Very much appreciated! Thanks Petey! 👍
I also noticed that my lazy sims NEVER runs even if a thunder or snowstorm is happening they will always walk
I have waited for this video 🤩 I knew that traits had differences, I just had to wait for the scientific evidence 😌
the mopping is so funny; looking forward to p2 :DDD
Totally agree! Haha thank you so much Angela!
Love you so much for making this happen!
This really explained a thing to me. I recently played a family that often get visited by a sim with the kleptomaniac trait. And she act as if she did try to steal an object and then gets embarrassed. Now I know why.
I have been wanting this video for a while. Thank you!
Thank you for the kind comment Metaversal :)
Nice! Make another one for traits from pack please!
It's certainly on the list C.M! I'll have a video covering the rest of the base game next, and then expansion pack traits a little while later :).
Awesome info as always! Thanks Petey! 🥰👍🏽
Awe shucks, thank you Art Smart :D.
Thanks I needed it cause I have only base game
As always thank you for a lovely guide and have a great day
Thank you OddCreature! I hope you have a fabulous day as well!
I loved this video Petey! Thanks! 😊
Thank you so much for the lovely comment :)
Super handig om dit te weten 👍🏻 kan niet wachten op deel 2 😅
A gameplay idea inspired by this video: create two sims, and give the first one traits like hates children, evil, lazy, slob, etc. Then give the second Sim traits like family oriented, good, active, neat, etc. As long as the traits are opposites this works. For extra spice make one of them a werewolf and the other one a vampire.
You can make them siblings, friends, lovers, roommates... Or enable autonomous repairs and bill paying and leave the game unpaused with the sims separated in two identical houses on the same lot and then make them swap houses (Which I'm gonna do next! )
Also, Sims with the Good trait will refuse to Woohoo in a coffin with a vampire.
Oh that is so cool! Thank you for sharing that extra fun fact Robert! :)
@@PeteyPlaysIt You're welcome! ;)
I have a kleptomaniac Senior Detective sim and yes, she did try to steal multiple things right under her bosse's nose. They are now happily married with a child lmao
For those who have Growing Together, the three extra traits, self discovery traits, can be added using the traits.equip_trait cheat. And can even remove unwanted ones with the traits.remove_trait cheat. And for those on consoles, traits cheats do not break achievements.
All of my sims baring one is a neat sim! It makes things so easy
I have waited för ths video
SUCH an informative video! Thanks so much, Petey!
Thank you for the kind words Roxxi!
These are fun.
Perfectionist Sims also will autonomously scrap their paintings if they are not "up to standard" meaning if you have quests to "finish x paintings" it can take way longer because they will stop, get rid of their painting and start again.
I can't not see the sims 4 as an elf after this...and I kinda like it.
I have a couple with the neat trait and the slob trait lots of cleaning! 😂
I was just thinking about this! was playing with a few traits i dont usually choose and noticed the cleaning frenzy option and was thinking about making a new save to play though each trait"
For convenience, I always make one of a couple neat. They're more likely to autonomously clean stuff, and their moodlets will let you know if something is dirty (ie coffeepot, which I never notice).
1:34 call that multi-tasking 😂
Not sure if I've ever commented something like this on your videos, and if I have I severely apologize
I've spent... a large part of my life playing the sims 4. It's one of my favorite games.
I love these videos, learning more about the game. You do an amazing job with the editing, and you speak clearly enough that it's easy to put these on the background while I'm doing things.
I'm sorry I didn't subscribe sooner.
Awe shucks Cinnamon Roll this was such a lovely comment to read! You subscribe whenever you want to and there is never any pressure! It just makes me really happy that you're enjoying the content!
@@PeteyPlaysIt :D I'm glad it made you happy, and i hope you have a wonderful day.
Ah cool so if i get the vampire pack then i can play a malkavian, perfect.
I didn't know erratic was the best trait...
Can anyone please tell me what the +1, +2, and +3 moodlets mean? Thanks 😊
It describes the intensity of emotion (+3 is more intense than +1) . This is used when calculating the Sim's overall mood - For example , a +2 happy moodlet will override a +1 tense moodlet because 2>1 and the Sim will register as being happy instead of tense.
@@lateoclock4281 thank you so much xx
Informative and helpful video, what are good traits for a Renaissance sim? 7:57 What are the names of these two Sims? Are they townies?
0:56 good for extreme violence and those annoying blood puddles
Your all guide why is underrated 😢
I Hope u get highest subs for all guide
Hey Man, thank you :D. Haha I got a weird kick out of including your CZcams name like it was a part of a regular sentence. Thank you for the lovely comment!
@@PeteyPlaysIt I love all ur guide, Cuz i can implement for my sims. There's a lot I haven't done yet
Cheerful Sims also affect other Sims if they're not Cheerful themselves by giving them a "Cheered to Death" tense moodlet somewhat randomly when interacting with other Sims.
Lazy Sims will also get a tense moodlet from cleaning, repairing or upgrading stuff.
Mean Sims seem to autonomously perform mean interactions on Giant Plush type toys, I'm guessing other toys like dollhouses can also be the target of these autonomous interactions but I haven't really tested that. I wouldn't be surprised if Sims with the "Hates Children" trait also perform these interactions.
Will you do a video about the compatibility system and how it works? 🙂❤️
Ooh that's such a cool fun fact! Thank you for sharing Ryan :D.
Fun fact you can Make a sim only using I traits being insider Child of the Islands and Lactose intolerant
time index 1:35 Jaw Drops!!!
👍🏾👍🏾
Neat sims can also click other neat sims and click cleaning frenzy
can teens/kids get the cleaning frenzy?
What happens if you give a sim both the slob trait and the neat trait?
anybody else notice the cat running away in the first clip
Quick tip hours in game is minutes in real life
I know that Sims 4nis myyyy friend
Cheerful sims: “my wife of 14 years died today.. buttttt”
Let's be real there are only two types of people, the ones who admit to peeing in the shower and liars
I find it annoying that sims can only have up to 3 traits without mods, and that you can’t add extra trait slots without mods, and that you also can’t have a custom number of traits per sim, and also not able to have sims have seperate amounts of traits.
When you realise that the Hot-Headed trait was not included in the video:
