Traits are a core part of gameplay in The Sims 4, shaping how Sims behave, interact, and develop over time. By default, Sims start with three Traits in Create-A-Sim (CAS), but many players want more flexibility to build richer, more complex characters. Fortunately, it’s possible to unlock additional trait slots—no mods required.
