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

Fun fact for those who own Vampires and/or Werewolves: If a Loyal werewolf Sim becomes friends with a vampire Sim, or vice versa, they’ll get a Confident +3 moodlet named “A Bond Forged By Night”.

[@RosheenQuynh]

OMG this is possible?! It seemed impossible to even make two of mine partners!

[@DeadlyPL]

@@RosheenQuynh I learned it via half-siblings and me forcing them to be friends (even tho the werewolf was raised by his mother, and the vampire was raised by their shared father)

[@RosheenQuynh]

@@DeadlyPL Fascinating!

[@PeteyPlaysIt]

That's so cool!! Thank you so much for sharing this Planetary :D, what an awesome extra fun fact!

I discovered recently that Loyal sims don't get stressed out and tense when you select the work hard interaction when they're at work. They get a +1 Happy moodlet called "Loyal Employee" instead, which lasts fot 6 hours.

[@peeradapinon1077]

Fun Fact: The Phone Dialog for the Outgoing sims is also different from the other sims too! Example: For a Normal Sims when they get a phone call from your friend about making a new friend the dialog is like "Sure, go for it." But the Outgoing sims's dialog is like"Building Friendship is a Must." I found it myself and that's quite interesting here....

[@PeteyPlaysIt]

That's very interesting indeed! Thank you so much for sharing Peerada! I love the little nuances in the game :).

@@PeteyPlaysIt Sometime i quite love for tiny little detail... I really love your guide and you are one of my favorite Sims 4 Content Creator for me. Oh! You can Call me "Pim" that's my nickname.

Loyal Trait: Also if a loyal sim sees a friend of theirs being treated badly by an evil or mean sim, they will yell at that mean or evil sim. Moodlet says "Called out! Not on my watch!" Loyal sims must stand up for their friends when they're in trouble. It causes the mean or evil sim to get an embarrassed moodlet too.

[@loppydoodle726]

Something I learned recently is that sims with the geek trait will get a +10 happy moodlet when using a streaming drone from Get Famous (and probably the ones from other packs, like the RC drone from Discover University) but a strong sad moodlet if it breaks

[@DeadlyPL]

And that's how I killed my sim by laughter. Don't worry, his son (child lifestage at the time) saved him by pleading to Grim.

[@PeteyPlaysIt]

Ooh that's very cool! Thanks so much for sharing Loppy!! That's a very cool part of that trait that I wasn't aware of.

[@weasiesworks]

I've played a few vegetarians and found that if they accidentally each meat and get uncomfortable, the quick fix is have them throw up. Seems to make the discomfort go away, but then they have to clean the toilet, so there's that.

[@DeadlyPL]

If they have the "Tainted with meat" moodled, there's only a chance it goes into the "Bleeaauugh" (not sure if I spelled it correctly) moodlet, which disappears if a sim vomits. It's actually not the only case your sim can get that moodlet, spoiled foods and exam stress can give it too (can confirm exam stress for Discover University, can't with High School Years because I don't own it)

[@weasiesworks]

@@DeadlyPL I think mine just had an uncomfortable moodlet. So I just clicked on a toilet and vomit was an option, and so I took it, and that made her discomfort go away.

[@PeteyPlaysIt]

Ooh thank you so much for sharing that Louise! Super cool to know about!

[@elainal6847]

This is classic Petey and I appreciate these because it helps me play my sims to the max of their uniqueness with the included gameplay dynamics

[@PeteyPlaysIt]

Awe shucks thank you Elaina! :D You da best!!

[@TokitoTaishiro]

As a tip, Loner sims can interact with other sims without getting the tense moodlet, but they have to be friends first. After all, friends aren't strangers.

[@solareclipse5073]

I learned yesterday while playing with a jealous sim that they can get an envious moodlet around a couple 😭😭 she was a little upset about the bob and eliza welcome wagon *she was single but im not sure if that was why

[@ladyarmourlapras]

i think they get envy even if engaged at the least, i had my bitch sim engage with solomon forbes (discover uni npc) who has the jealous trait, he was quick to get the tense moodlet AND the fear of being cheated on at the same time (i feel like he would have gotten the tense moodlet even if id turned off wants and fears at the time) sadly for him my bitch sim was his undoing and cheated on him with j huntington iii (did you know that sims who get cheated on in front of their face enough eventually slap the shit out of their cheater spouse LOL)

[@Klondike877]

One thing I discovered lately and was surprised by it, is the clumsy trait. I have a elder sim who happen to be clumsy and happen to try out the bunk bed he had purchase for the grandchildren... I saw him relax on it, until I cancelled the interaction, he tried to go down the ladder but trip and fell. It looked rather painful with a bone crack after the interaction, so I am not sure if it is link only to the trait or if its something that requires the clumsy trait and being an elder... Ill need to make more test. But I was very surprised.

[@PeteyPlaysIt]

That's so interesting! It could be either but I think you could definitely be onto something with it possibly tied to the trait :). Thank you so much for sharing Francois!

[@reynavaldez13]

i really hope we will see all of traits from every pack in this series! Than you for your work❤

[@PeteyPlaysIt]

Reyna :D. I definitely plan to look at traits from expansion packs a little down the track.

[@caseyzimba9935]

I think I must have the childish trait irl because I know I get all the same moodlets 😊

[@gracegaylord9025]

Thank you so much for the video! Now i know which traits would be lore appropriate for my sims when they wanna switch up traits!

[@PeteyPlaysIt]

You're super welcome Grace :), thank you for the kind comment!

[@aika7593]

I remarked when my Hot Headed Sims lose a game when they play video games, they got a +2 angry moodlet Also, when you do mischief interactions with them, they're more likely to fail (Not sure, maybe it was juste bad luck) and they'll get a +1 angry moodlet

[@laurieb3703]

Your channel is SO underrated!!

[@angelaliao9167]

havent really played wit the hates childrne trait that much, thx petey!

[@lillySims-if7gh]

This is great as many trait’s don’t work for me and so I used them. It’s nice to know what they should do, but also to see if TS4 have fixed the traits that didn’t work for me after all this time (I haven’t tried yet) and I can use this to confirm if they work or not. Thank you as always. Love your stuff!

[@PeteyPlaysIt]

Thank you for the awesome comment Lilly Sims :D

[@foxtatertot]

3:09 Also, for Jealous sims, if they are single, and they see a couple interact with each other, they will get a Sad Moodlet for a while.

[@oceangiles3765]

I love how i get to know more & more about the sims by watching your videoss 🤓❤

[@DeadlyPL]

A tip for materialistic sims: Anything that's new/bought can be admired so that they're no longer tense for not buying something, which also applies to a canvas your sim buys to make a painting, even before the painting is finished.

[@PeteyPlaysIt]

Ooh I love that little tip! Thank you for sharing Deadly :).

[@DogLover1718]

Why in life is childish considered bad when who wouldn’t want hug a giant Teddy and watch cool cartoons

[@HealerOfLightAndDark]

Thought you might like to know that Materialistic sims can "Admire New Possessions" on things they make, at least they can do so on their own paintings, and it still gives them that happy moodlet and staves off the Stale Surroundings moodlet

[@AlannaMarie]

if you havent done it yet (havent checked) i would love a breakdown video like this for the lifestyles sims can gain/lose!!

[@leontineketting97]

if i decide to create my simself i'll definitely use the loyal trait because i hate dramas and rather NOT start dramas at all, NOT even in the sims🤣🤣🤣👍

[@DeadlyPL]

I like dramas... On the condition I'm not a part of them and they're only on TV.

[@crazed_katharine]

mwahaha but you can still occasionally convince your loyal sims to go against their nature; I have an example I'm currently playing with. You have to progress the steps of the affair slowly since the loyal sim feels too guilty and wants to confess to their partner. Which, in real life, is something I definitely advocate for. But finding surprise moodlets like "hell hath no fury like a scorned Jealous sim" can be fun XD Oh but I can't stand drama in real life 😅

[@sherrybrissette1614]

Thank Petey! You are the best!

[@eclipses3131]

So off topic but we really need a preteen in this game. But knowing EA preteens will be free and have rabbit hole activities but we will need to buy a expansion pack and stuff pack to gain more gameplay from the pre teens😂 and possibly the parenthood wont have any effect on those packs like high school w/ parenthood.

[@saipirunc.6261]

Hello Petey. Great tips as always. I've never seen a happy buff from a Love Outdoor trait before. Guess that is a bug😢

[@DeadlyPL]

And the tense debuff disappears if your sim does go outside.

[@saipirunc.6261]

@@DeadlyPL Yes, i guess. But the cooped up moodlet didn't come so often for me.

[@ladyarmourlapras]

commenting this before watching the vid so pardon me, i was reading the other comments and saw loyal mentioned a bunch - they put more depth into loyal than so many traits lol, like i had a bitch sim insult her roommate and my loyal sim was the third household member - but for some reason when the roomate retaliated my loyal sim would LEAP to confront about bullying and leave the bitch sim alone!!!! like wtf lol, also they get unique interactions upon really leveling up the friendship/love bar talking of how theyll never leave them, AND if someone is friends with a loyal sim but then the loyal sim is mean to them, the friend gets a VERY negative moodlet EDIT, btw to add to the music lover thing, if they dont get to listen to music for a long while they get a +1 tense moodlet

[@SimWithAry]

Oooooo thank u so much 🗣️🗣️

[@kvackarn5197]

I love it

[@DogLover1718]

Can u do the non base game traits next

[@PeteyPlaysIt]

I definitely plan to do this relatively soon DogLover :D.

[@EP1CxEMAN08]

TIL Vegetarian is a Base Game trait.

[@Brohepsi]

It used to be City Living exclusive. EA changed it to base game a while back

[@Lady9tails]

💜💜💜

[@gummysnacksandknives9229]

Also sims with the foodie trait like fruit cake

[@marvinbrauer7523]

I’ve found it best to not have SIMS confess

[@wirza555]

Funny to think that I have fun learning about the game than playing the game itself 👁️👄👁️. Oh EA, what have you done.

[@marnevanvliet26]

[@Andrea-ue2uw]

Sim traits are so dumb and dont effect the game play or sims in any way shape or form they do nothing
