Worry not! A plan for a trait calculator is already in development and will be ready at the same time the challenge rules are. Of course, for Legacy Challenge Players, this presents a little bit of a problem as the challenge has always (and will) require random trait generation. They wanted to stress that traits are much more significant than they were in the Sims 3 (they are) and wanted them to be a deliberate decision of the player to pick. This is not a missing feature, this is a conscious design decision. Plenty of ones for clothing and body looks in CAS, but neither CAS nor the age-up dialogue contains any randomize button. Let us first start with a trait related fact relevant to Legacy Challenge players: There is no in-game randomize button for traits. (And a bit of Lady Cheshire animated near the end)īut that isn’t anything new, so let me dive in depth a bit deeper and give you a closer look at a few of the traits I had the chance to play with extensively. This was pre-Creators Camp so some of the information is a little guess work, but it is still worthwhile if you want to see a complete list of traits, as well as the animations associated with each of them.

It takes (and expands) the aspiration system from the Sims 2 and takes the concept of traits from the Sims 3. The Sims 4 takes a combination approach when it comes to fleshing out your individual Sims.
