Traits Life and Death Cheats

Traits shape a Sim’s personality, behavior, and preferences. They influence how Sims interacts with others, responds to situations, and experiences emotions. These set them apart from the others, giving each Sim uniqueness. In the Life and Death Expansion, they added many traits, focusing on how they cope with lost loved ones.
