Is there a way to reset a sim's stats via a cheat or special reward?

    Quite an intriguing question. Short answer ... no
    Quoted from @EA_Mai  Community Manager
    "If she has skills, career, etc., it means you saved her after having played with her, and it's not possible to reset her. However, by default, the game saves a clean copy of the Sims in your Library when you create them in CAS for the first time, so unless you deleted items from your library or changed computers, you should be able to find her there. Standard smile These Sims haven't been played, so it would be like starting over with her, which is what you want."

    @Nickelle19 I never use cheat in my regular gameplay, but when creating a household, i hope there's a way to reset all the stats. I recently create a newcomer celebrity sims to add her into my game and also upload it to gallery so people can download it too. Of course, I use cheat for it and for sure she feel happy, but I accidentally raise her fame too high and decide to lower it, now she is sad. Since there's no clearing stats cheat, I have no choice but to upload her with these stats. I wanted it totally 'clean'.
    My other expectations is clearing all skills cheat and life-day cheat, enable us to add or subtract day to sims life. Why I wanted this is because I wanted to create an entirely new worlds (new lots, new household), I don't want every teen sims I created to grow into young adult on the same day, and every young adult become adult on the same day, and so on.

    Hi @EuphorialQueen ,

    I appreciate the response. It's sad that we can't reset them. 

    The reason I wanted to reset them was because I was going to re-play a family I created back in 2016 in a new save.

    I have the original family saved in the library, but 2 of the sims in that family have grown since then (they're still kids in the library and they're young adults in my current save), and since I'm very picky with appearances, I didn't want to change their appearances again in the new save. However, I found a way to make the exact same replica by making a twin and deleting the "real" one, but my problem is with the 2nd sim since he's an Alien and making a twin Alien will make the appearance the same with its Alien Form and not the human form.

    That's why I thought, "is there a way to reset his stats"? Guess not.

    Well, I'll have to just imagine him being a new sim.

    Thanks!

    Hi @AndyZhang2896 

    Guess we're on the same boat. 

    I realized that the game makes sims unique especially when you've had that sim for a long time and played around with his stats, traits, and so on. It becomes impossible to make the sim "Clean" again.

    I've had a similar problem where my celebrity sim, even though had a celebrity cleanse, stepped out of the spotlight and removed quirks were configured, still received fan mail. Couldn't figure out a way to find a solution to this problem.

    Hey the way to reset the stats is to clone the sim you want.  Everything else can be removed by the cheats, the else is jobs, aspersions and skills.
