I've only started playing the sims recently, so im sorry if i got any information wrong but from what i understand you unlock the lord/lady of the knits aspiration if you reach level 10 of the knitting skill and if you unlock level 10 of the knitting skill you can knit a lil grim reaper that resets your sim's current life stage if you gift it to the grim reaper, which makes the aspiration more useful. Sorry if this is confusing btw.

I think of that more as part of the knitting skill than the aspiration or reward trait, but it is really cool! Maybe I will rank all of the skills one day because there is some really cool stuff you can do with them

I always thought the Professional Slacker trait meant Sims can show up late/skip work/slack off at work without their career performance going down, in which case it would be pretty great. But I haven't actually tested it so I don't know if that's true.

Companion's actually OP. The two interactions I've found are Share Burdens and Lend Emotional Support. Share Burdens is kind of good: it allows your married sims to split needs, so if one has 25% sleep and the other has 100% it'll split them both to ~62.5% sleep. It's kind of niche, but very powerful in those cases. Lend Emotional Support on the other hand is insane: it HARD ERASES any negative moodlets. I haven't found a limit to the moodlet duration, but I've tested it by killing a sim on the lot and just instantly erasing the 2 day Sad +2. I don't play with cheats/mods, so any trait that effectively emulates a cheat is an instant S-tier for me. Same with Shrewd (+5% weekly interest that stacks), Potion Master (+100 to any mood for 4hrs), and most of the celebrity perks and "no-decay" traits

The waterproof trait is actually one I use a lot for outdoorsy sims or when I play rags to riches. Sims will get tense if they're outside in the rain for too long and with this trait I don't have to worry about how long I'm outside. I tend to have a lot of my sims needing to do stuff outdoors and the weather in the sims is kinda all over the place, so this trait can be really handy.
@asaasa7900 Жыл бұрын
I agree with most of these except for Beguiling. It's a bit expensive but basically can eliminate all negative moodlets on other sims that your sims have romance enabled with. It's really worth trying out as well if trying to complete Serial Romantic or the horrifically difficult Villainous Valantine aspiration. No more sadness, anger, embarrassment, tense emotions, etc.

The thing about the Shrewd and Thrifty traits is, if you have you Teen sims who are living with your Adult sims they can just automatically get the Shrewd and Thrifty traits then when they move out they can use those bonus traits to their advantage and it’s really helpful. When you’re starting them out independently. I actually use that a lot when I’m playing multiple households in one save and (not cheating money when I move the younger gens out.)

I haven’t gotten far enough into the video yet to see what you say about the outdoor Retreat aspiration, but that is one of my favorites as it dramatically decreases sleep time in tents. Like nothing can beat it not even a fully upgraded expensive bed. My sim can go from passing out to full energy in 2.5 hrs from sleeping in a tent with this trait. For comparison, based on my testing fully upgraded beds (even expensive ones) are a little under 6 hrs from 0 to full energy! They also get some energy gain from sitting around on camping furniture (like if sitting around a campfire) and positive noodles from sleeping in tents, using tarp or outdoor showers, and sitting on camping furniture.

Beguiling gotta be S tier for if you're on a mission to get something done, or trying to speedrun a relationship from start to finish. It's a wonderful trait, i rarely use it now as my Sim is in a poly relationship and she doesnt ever need to use it but it was incredibly helpful during both Villainous Valentine and Serial Romantic, just to speed things up and ensure gold rank dates. My all time favourite is definitely the Player trait, it has such a significant impact on gameplay and allows for polyamory - sucks that polyam is locked behind a reward trait but it's still a fantastic trait to have. You can equip it with cheats too, so that you don't have to complete serial romantic to have a polycule. Inspired explorer is extremely helpful too, love inspired explorer and i wish I'd started using it sooner.

satisfaction Buy traits must haves are carefree, free services, and storm chaser. Carefree stops Sims from being tense, free services gives you a free maid\ gardener and nany. Storm chaser makes Sims not freak out in thunder storms, it does increase the risk to get hit with lightning but the panic every time it rains is to annoying. And yes fire immunity would work better with the culinary skill more logically, its weird for a gardening reward a better one would be cowplant immunity and ability to buy all plant seeds.
