Sometimes you want a fresh start or to shake things up a bit, right? So, here's the lowdown on how to remove traits from your Sims in The Sims 4.

Well, absolutely, The Sims 4 is all about creating and controlling your virtual world, right down to the traits of your Sims. Traits define their personalities and affect how they behave and develop skills. However, if you're not fully content with the traits you chose, we can help you reset them!
Ah, the Re-Traiting Potion, your go-to solution for those pesky, undesirable traits. Here's the deal:
- Head over to the Rewards Store.
- Spend 5,000 Satisfaction Points to purchase the Re-Traiting Potion.
- If you're short on Satisfaction Points, no worries! Use this cheat code: sims.give_satisfaction_points 5000 to stack up those points.
- After you've got the potion, your Sim can sip it down and voilà! You'll have the option to bid farewell to those unwanted traits and select some new, spiffy ones.
Now your Sims can be as dynamic as you want them to be!
Editing traits directly from Create-a-Sim (CAS) mode is like giving your Sim a makeover for their personality. Here's how you do it:
- Open up CAS mode.
- Click on "Modify in CAS."
- Locate the trait you want to bid adieu to on the CAS screen.
- Use your virtual broomstick and click the trash can icon to sweep it away.
- Back in Live mode, summon your Sim and click on them. The "Edit Sim" option should pop up. Click on that, navigate to the "Traits" tab, and pluck out those unwanted traits like weeds from a garden.
With these tricks, you can mould your Sim's personality into whatever you fancy. Unlocking the power of cheats in The Sims 4 is like having a magic wand for your Sims' traits. Here's how you can work your wizardry:
Now, to emable Cheats: Press "Ctrl+Shift+C" on your PC, and a magical cheat dialogue box will appear. Type "testingcheats on" to activate cheats.
- Remove All Traits: If you want a clean slate for your Sim, you can use "traits.clear_traits." Be cautious, though; this wipes out all their traits, and you'll have to start fresh.
- Assign a Trait: To give your Sim a specific trait, use "traits.equip_trait [traitname]." Replace "[traitname]" with the trait you desire.
- Remove a Trait: When you want to bid farewell to a single trait, "traits.remove_trait [traitname]" is your spell of choice.
Remember, with great cheat codes come great responsibility. Use them wisely to craft your Sims' stories just the way you want!
