The master chef is a 4/5 for me as a family player- not having food go off is great for dropping a feast into a toddler's room and locking that toddler into free range with no worries for a week!
scrolled for a bit and didnt see anyone mention this: share burden basically equalizes all the needs between spouses so when you have a spouse with super low needs and one with all needs met they can share their needs so they would both be half full. can be helpful in certain situations!
@@PeteyPlaysIt its easy to miss! i didnt notice it at first either because my household was only 2 married sims so their needs were met most of the time and pretty similar anyways
@@rachelgoldenburg2241 It add up all health of both yours and that of the opponent, and devides it equally between the two. Great for situations if you have way less health or way less health left than your opponent.
The fun of the mansion baron reward trait for me is earning it from parents working while teens are in the household. Then when they move out and start on their own, they get that rebate when you build their first home and you can kinda imagine it functions like inherited wealth.
I pretend thr money cheat is my inheritance. ... and everytime I'm a trust fund baby. ... as is everyone else in my game small the sims are super happy 😂
You forgot about Grilled Cheese aspiration, which once compleated allows you to summon grilled cheese and make painting of it. It is a hidden aspiration and you have to eat grilled cheese 3 times in a row to unlock. But even then, it is still in base game.
I actually like the fact that the no jealousy thing still adds sentiments. It makes it easier for me to role-play why my sims wife suddenly totally ignores his cheating. I usually imagine that she's spent so many years catching him sleeping around, that she's come to accept it and doesn't bother cussing him out anymore. But that doesn't stop her being hurt and angry inside. If it weren't for the sentiments still being there, it'd feel like she'd suddenly turned into a robot.
Shrewd is great for generational play: your first generation gets rich on (say) gardening, then the teenagers of the family can easily complete the aspiration and get that boost to their money for when they leave the family home and have to make money from scratch.
Sorry to be that guy, but you don’t have the expressionistic trade completely right. Well, it doesn’t actually add any gameplay. It doesn’t just apply to paintings in a place of books and sculptures as well rich I didn’t even know there were angry sculptures without it, so that’s something.
@@BrawlSnorlax Those Emotional sculptures and paintings are a great cheat at parties if you're expected to have 3 guests playful or flirty at once, especially if you have a masterpiece painting
For the emotional paintings, you could make a emotional death prison. Where you would fill each room will a type of painting like angry for example and have them all die from different emotions. That could be considered as adding gameplay but thats probably just me 😂
@@PeteyPlaysIt I came here to say this too! Must be a bug with the Instant Upgrade because if you instant upgrade a toilet it also gets all the eco upgrades along with it.
The reward for the painter trait also affects writing. Once the painter trait is awarded, your sim can write emotional books as well, without being in that mood. For example, they can always write romance books without being flirty. I don't know if it affects music or not, but it does carry over into the writing skill.
For the book of life reward they forgot to mention that if the sim is alive when anyone reads the book it fills completely the needs of the sim the book is about.
The thing fore me about the emotional painting thing is that it makes it easy to get a masterpiece in that emotion, so if you have a flirty and playful painting in your main room, it becomes incredibly easy for you to make guests at a party flirty or playful at the same time for those parts of the party goals.
@@MelissaLawrence2002 You're very welcome! I just wish there was an option so you could change all the objects in a room by clicking on one of them. If I have an emotional painting and an emotional sculpture, I can sometimes forget to turn one off, but the real swine is when you get the kitchen equipment in the cooking career that adds inspiration - I always forget that there is a sink that does it!
Some of these are really cool, I may cheat my way to some of them. I've been playing Sims 4 for almost 3 years and I think I can count on ome hand the times one of my sims has finished an aspiration. 😆
I have always completed either the Top Notch Toddler or the Happy Toddler traits in my gameplay, but after watching one of your vids I’ve started completing one of the Kid traits as well as Scouting and it makes SUCH a huge difference in how quickly teens and adults gain skills. I am blowing through my Not So Berry Challenge in no time. I started with a pre-made Sim who was a daughter of Father Winter so she had that added advantage, but I was done with the Mint part of the challenge before the Rose generation aged out of toddlerhood. So I got to spend extra time with her making her a Top Notch Toddler as well, but my Mint Gen is just collecting reward traits now as she takes care of the Yellow Gen while Rose Gen is out dating. She just a “most interesting Sim in the world” notification for how many traits she has. Anyway, thank you. You have completely changed my gameplay.
Does your child sim get the happy/top-notch toddler trait? Mine don't even if I max everything. They used to but not anymore, I don't know what's wrong ):
@@shineeshaymin you’re right, it’s totally glitched right now, and hasn’t been fixed for the last two patches, but when they age up to young adults the trait finally appears if you’ve put in the work for it.
@@shineeshaymin my guess is that not enough people are reporting the glitch because not enough people play with toddlers, or not enough people play with toddlers with the intent to earn traits, so it’s not a priority for them to fix it. They’ve said often that people don’t really play with families, but that’s kind of really what I only play with, personally.
@@OrangeCat1992 oh, they do? Haha, glad to know, thank you! I always put the cheat code to get it because it's really unfair that I didn't get my trait after all that work, they really should fix that
The Player Trait doesn't have to be about being horrible. It's also useful for playing polyamourous households, or open relationships. I have a poly household of 3 mermaids living in Sulani. They all have the trait and live and love peacefully with no jealousy.
@@hollyhartwick3832I'm playing with a mod that allows you to choose the type of relationships your sims are in, the type they prefer, adds moodlets from being in one they don't like, manages who gets jealous and who doesn't... It's really cool.
I really think they could do more with orientations and such. Would also be nice to make hermaphroditic Sims. For pregnancy, there's "Get Pregnant", "Get Others Pregnant", and "Neither". Why not also "Both"? Might seem weird, but it's not biologically impossible and we do have aliens that seem to fit that niche.
The Emotional Painting trait DON'T affect only your painting. It allow the Sim to write any emotional book at will as well as emotional sculptures. I LOVE the Fresh Chef trait. Having food that never spoils is a game changer, especially when you have toddlers around. Once a Sim have completer a fortune aspiration, it's pretty easy to have the other Sims in the family get them to. Once a Sim have completed the Mansion Barron aspiration, select each other Sims of the family and have them start the aspiration. They'll instantly be rewarded with completing it, with all the benefits and satisfaction gain. I don't really see the benefit of the «Party animal» reward. Getting gold in an event is normally quite easy. At least in my experience. I tend to reach gold status before the half point of the event.
Thank you! This is so helpful! I've been obsessed with watching Sims videos for years, but I only started playing right before the basegame went free, so I have so much to learn when it comes to actually pushing the buttons myself! I'm going to save this to a playlist!
i was surpised how powerful the knitting aspiration reward was, i got him to train up his kids and he got them to level eight in one sim hour, which is quite cool it allows for a lot of the knittables to be unlocked really quickly
Beloved, Vicarious, Shrewd, Handy are the most practical imo. Perfect Host wasn’t worth it for the amount of work the aspiration takes, and some of the creative rewards are underwhelming.
I love the book of life. I will use it for a little experiment of mine. I know for certain that the test subjects will die and I need them alive. You should rate the aspiration traits from packs and reward store.
Reading their own Book of Life is also a needs cheat for living sims! I've completed most of the aspirations -- but for many of them, had not explored all the benefits. I learned a lot from this one!
My favorites to get any sims are the childhood Aspirations Traits & Scouting Aptitude, then as Teen Laid-Back, Long Lived, Angler’s Tranquility, Handy. As these set-up my sims well for Young Adult.
I recently learned of some of these from the UI Cheats mod. I really love adding a bunch of these to sims to add some new gameplay that I don't have to work on. I think this is really handy if you're a creator who uploads sims on the gallery, instead of maxing skills, you can make some very complicated sims to share and import into the world. Thank you for breaking these all down so I can better assign these!
The player trait is just funny if you want a harem style sim, or just seeing how many relationships you can ruin and take for yourself cause that is totally something I would never do
The Book Of Life gets a 3/5 for me. As it hasn’t ever worked to bring a sim back to life for me, but the full needs filling is very handy. The fresh foods and powerful drinks can be put into a lice cooler from get to work and sold in unlimited supply on a retail lot to those who shop there. So if you have snagglefluster you can sell and unlimited supply of them. If you have a golden omelette meal made by a fresh chef then others can by it as many times as they want and eat it or keep it out without worry of spoiling.
I’m only 1/3 through watching but I gotta say thanks. My gameplay doesn’t fit some of you critiques but you are very thorough in your descriptions. Helpful. Спасибо!
09:50 I remember when I once was with my Sim in the Star Wars world I got constant popups about random 400.000 dollar investments. When my sim got home he had its money maxed out. No cheats at all.
I recommend using MC Command Center mod's polyamory setting over the Serial Romantic aspiration's reward trait. While I'm pretty sure this setting makes _all_ sims polyamorous, at least you won't get negative sentiments from your partners when they witness you being affectionate with other partners.
Wonderful whims is also good for this! you can set specific sims to have the "polyamorous" trait (works just like the wicked whims trait, but the mod doesn't have the NSFW parts)
I didnt kn ow most of these! I have to start knocking them out! Thank you so much Petey! You are always giving us helpful information! You are absolutely the best! Cya later!
5/5 for the skill books one is quite strange to me- especially since you gave the instant upgrades one a 4/5. You can buy skill books already so I don’t see the major benefit of writing them yourself?
I ended up finding a sim with a "Career minded" aspiration under the name athlete. I confused me at first but, after searching for a whole damn hour, i found that it can be found in the tutorial. i have no idea how my sim got it but, if i finish the aspiration, they should get the Over-Achiever trait allowing them to be promoted quicker.
Idk, being able to clear all negative moodlets from a spouse with just a social interaction seems incredibly powerful. Baby had a bad day at work, but you had a dinner party planned? No problem. This is fine, just give me a second
I appreciate the warning about these traits being ranked on personal opinion, but I did not expected to be such bad opinions on some of them 😂. Shrew is extremely overpowered in generational gameplay as you can pass the wealth to other households, like in those scenarios having a parent move out to help their children take care of their grandchildren. Fresh chef is extremely useful at it makes the well feed buff extremely common, and lets you have food out in the open, so sims won't be cancelling interactions to go grab food just because another one also tried to do so, wich is extremely annoying. It makes it so easy to have the hunger need well cared and prepare before hand. It also makes really easy to spread city living and selvadorada recipies to your household.
I just found out that with the handy reward trait, you can upgrade animal sheds (cottage living) instantly without animal shed upgrade parts... Idk if it's a good or bad thing, because then there isn't much point running errands anymore
The sabotage can also be useful for hackathons so you can immediately win a computer or sell it Also I killed a sim by making them angry by using a mastermind and hotheaded trait
I wouldn’t recommend get Beloved trait if your playing your sim as immortal. As every time of the townie dead. My sim would get sad for days. The worst was when like 3 townie passed away within a week.
I'm polyamorous and I sometimes cheat in the Player trait. There's mods that can accomplish the same thing, but it's easy enough to just use the player trait and ignore that particular flavor text.
I wish we could have polyamorous sims without doing all the cheating. it makes me sad that I can’t make myself and my partners in the sims without the game thinking that my simself is cheating :((
Great video as always! I'm a bit surprised you didn't include a small blurb about the Snagglefluster Recipe when going over the Mixology Aspiration Reward, because if you're getting the Aspiration done, you might as well grab the recipe from the job and that addition makes it worth at least 1 more point. Thank you! ETA: You also said that Teens use the same Aspirations. Does this mean that you only get the new teen only Aspirations if you own the EP?
Charlee! Good shout out with the Snagglefluster. I didn't say it because it technically isn't linked to the trait itself, but I do agree a small blurb would have been helpful! :)
@@PeteyPlaysIt Oh I wasn't complaining. I'm just used to you adding in all the juicey tidbits like that lol. Thanks for all the GREAT videos. You truly do inspire me to keep playing.
OMG thank you so much, I didn't know a lot of things you said and I have a sim that I'm trying to complete every single aspiration in the game (already got all of the skills). Hey, is it just my game or there's something wrong with the happy/top-notch toddler trait? I still get 2 points of every child skill but no trait even if I max everything when they're a toddler, so I need to use the cheat "traits.equip_trait trait_Top_Notch_Toddler" because I don't think that's fair, toddlers are a lot of work and I value my traits haha
Omg good call Wiktoria! That sneaky hidden aspiration slipped by me. Defs love the ability to summon grilled cheese at will. Apologies for missing it in the video.
Can somebody explain to me how the pickpocketing works I’ve been trying to pick pocket but every time I ever attempted I always get caught. I read somewhere that you have to be playful to do it and I have been but I still get caught. What am I doing wrong?
why is there not an embarrasing modlet when you painting -.-? thats a modlet too and its a shame its forgotten, would be cool if we could paint embarrasing paintings as well

im not poly but i agree tbh i wish there was a way to have poly sims
Matriarch/Patriarch is a GREAT trait to have for doing the 100 Baby Challenge.
Great video as always! I'm a bit surprised you didn't include a small blurb about the Snagglefluster Recipe when going over the Mixology Aspiration Reward, because if you're getting the Aspiration done, you might as well grab the recipe from the job and that addition makes it worth at least 1 more point. Thank you!
ETA: You also said that Teens use the same Aspirations. Does this mean that you only get the new teen only Aspirations if you own the EP?
Yeah, the Teen only aspirations are only available with the High School Years EP
@@blazebardgames5939 Thanks, I had to ask because I for some reason I couldn't remember myself.
Charlee! Good shout out with the Snagglefluster. I didn't say it because it technically isn't linked to the trait itself, but I do agree a small blurb would have been helpful! :)
@@PeteyPlaysIt Oh I wasn't complaining. I'm just used to you adding in all the juicey tidbits like that lol. Thanks for all the GREAT videos. You truly do inspire me to keep playing.
can you make part 2 for traits that come with packs?
Tugba :) It's definitely on my list of videos to make in the future!
OMG thank you so much, I didn't know a lot of things you said and I have a sim that I'm trying to complete every single aspiration in the game (already got all of the skills).
Hey, is it just my game or there's something wrong with the happy/top-notch toddler trait? I still get 2 points of every child skill but no trait even if I max everything when they're a toddler, so I need to use the cheat "traits.equip_trait trait_Top_Notch_Toddler" because I don't think that's fair, toddlers are a lot of work and I value my traits haha
The sim in the thumbnail is so pretty!!! Is she on the gallery!?
Fun fact; if your sim drinks the immortal potion it basically makes the long lived trait obsolete.
Awesome Vid like always ^^!!!!
I didn't know about this book !!!
what about the grilled cheese aspiration?
Omg good call Wiktoria! That sneaky hidden aspiration slipped by me. Defs love the ability to summon grilled cheese at will. Apologies for missing it in the video.
I didn’t mow how to use the oooof lie! Atleast now I do
How much the long lived traits add to an elder lifespan depends on your settings
Am I going crazy I definitely heard a voice crack when he first said "Simonian"
What about location traits and occult traits from those aspirations?
You forgot the most key, necessary, and impactful trait in the game. Melt Master
If you change your aspiration can you keep the traits?
Alli B :), yup yup you do!
@@PeteyPlaysIt nice!
Can somebody explain to me how the pickpocketing works I’ve been trying to pick pocket but every time I ever attempted I always get caught. I read somewhere that you have to be playful to do it and I have been but I still get caught. What am I doing wrong?
YOU FORGOT ABOUT THE GRILLED CHEESE ASPIRATION!
How do you click on aspirations to see what your sim has?
wow i did not know a lot of this lol
Does vicarious and Matriarch/Patriarch stack with multiple parents and multiple children?

She is just like "Is it a little hot in here?"
why is there not an embarrasing modlet when you painting -.-? thats a modlet too and its a shame its forgotten, would be cool if we could paint embarrasing paintings as well
I just plant and when i have enough points, buy the money tree then go become sorcerer and master duplicato for easy millions from money trees 🤑💰🤑
💜💜💜
Piper sucks. I’m a musician so it hurts that the trait sucks
i'm making all my sims mentally talented webmasters now. ty :)
the book of life is basic a horcrux 🟡⚫ 🦡
