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.
@SimberPlays Рік тому
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.
@asaasa7900 Рік тому
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.
@msmichellewinchester Рік тому
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.

6:34 Always wondered how Carl's Sim Guides got the exact % of each xp boost thing in the game, from clubs to moods and traits. Hope they add them in the wiki some day
@VictoriaEMeredith Місяць тому
I think Carl goes into the actual game code and looks at the individual…modules? Chunks? Commands? Whatever you call the units in which it is programmed. He goes under the hood, so to speak.

i once played a sim i made a storm chaser. had the storm chaser trait and the only way he was allowed to earn money was with taking pictures/drone footage of storms
@SimberPlays Рік тому
That sounds fun!
@achangeofeve2511 Рік тому
The animal affection trait is pretty cool IMO because you can get aspiration points much faster! If you pet an animal it gives 100-250 points and it’s great for stocking up on potions.
@OrangeCat1992 Рік тому
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.)
@OrangeCat1992 Рік тому
But you do need to manually achieve the traits for each individual sim.
@SimberPlays Рік тому
That's true! It is nice to be able to fo that. And it kind of makes sense with how generational wealth works
@zukamimotu..2071 Рік тому
An aspiration tier list sounds fun! Under what conditions would you tier them though? How many goals/how difficult it is to complete? Of course the final reward traits would be in but I can't think of anything else to rate them by
@SimberPlays Рік тому
I would probably rank them based on what the goals are, if there are annoying ones. How fun they are to do, that kind of thing. Some of the levels don't really make sense or are boring or take way too long to complete

@daniellew.292 Рік тому
I feel like the essence of flavour trait is kinda useless since in Sims 4 cooking skill is very easy to improve and it's hard not to make excellent meals (my sims were able to cook them on a cheap stove with low cooking skill). I recall in the Sims 3 cooking skill was way harder to develop as well as you had to buy receipes and so on, that was fun. Im many ways I still like Sims 3 more
@SimberPlays Рік тому
Right that's what I was thinking! A trait that just does the same thing as leveling up the skill isn't super useful, at least not for long

The Great Storyteller Trait is actually helpful because everyone who hears the stories gets a good moodlet from “hearing a good story.” It also increases Charisma skill when you tell good stories.

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.

@michaelmarquis284 2 місяці тому
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

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.

I use alot of these traits already when I played the Not So Berry challenge and just normal gameplay as for Beguiling, it worked out great for me in Not So Berry. Storm Chaser is S tier for me! I love bad weather in rl and I also want my Sims to love them as well! 😄 Never Weary I used for storytelling in my Cagyn story with Morgyn is still a spellcaster but is a Wizard/Vampire hybrid now when Caleb bit them🥰 It's not in the story that Caleb turned Morgyn though, I just did random slideshow videos with Role play Caleb biting Morgyn with mods I have in my game 😉 Maybe your next ranking video could be Sim foods? 🤔

That story sounds awesome! I should really use storm chaser more. ooh ranking sims foods is a good idea! I probably couldn't rank all of them but I could maybe do some iconic ones.

having the essence of flavor trait letting sims make and research experimental dishes would be super neat! my sim with a high wellness skill unlocked the superfood salad recipe, and my other sim could prepare a high-energy protein plate when energized (that might also be because they had high fitness skill, I can't remember). There's also heart-shaped cookies your sim can make if they're flirty. It'd be pretty cool if sims with the essence of flavor trait could make these special recipes whenever they wanted!
@SimberPlays Рік тому
There are also experimental dishes with dine out so that could be cool to include too!

I often pick out an aspiration depending on the bonus trait and once I am in game I change the aspiration but still have my bonus trait. For example I play a sim as if they got connections to get a free spa card. But I don't play the wellness aspiration.

Oh you're right, idk how I missed that one! I would probably put it around B tier. It kind of makes sense for the aspiration but I'm not sure I'd ever use it unless I was doing specific gameplay where like I was trying to take over the world with my vampire offspring lol. I think there could have been a more useful or interesting reward trait with that aspiration
