Are sims left handed or right handed?

Too bad it's hidden and we can't set this trait ourselves. It would have been a nice touch.

Get well soon.

The Show Sim Info mod, if you are unopposed to modding, will allow you to view hidden traits along with a lot of other information about any sim.

So sorry to hear you're ill, I wish you good health and a fast recovery.

I keep forgetting to pay attention to my Sims' preferred hand use, but I also wish it could be changed by the player if we wanted to. I do have certain Sims in my game who are modeled after specific characters or people and some of them are left-handed.

My main sim is a lefty like me, while his partner is right-handed like most sims. I first noticed him using his left hand when he had a drink and later picked up a serving of food, but I believe left-handed sims also use their left hand when cooking and possibly painting? He seems to hold sparklers in his left hand too. It's a nice touch, although it is a pity we can't just choose it in CAS.

There's also a cheat if you want to make your sim left-handed:

|traits.remove_trait trait_handedness_right

then

|traits.equip_trait trait_handedness_left

I hope you feel better soon. :)

The painter's animation is always left-handed in my game. Is it the same in yours ?

I am sorry to hear you are feeling poorly @hunniboo1. I hope you feel better and are playing again soon.

It's a hidden trait for certain animations, like which hand they hold a fork or something, something you see only if you pay really close attention to them.

There's cheats for them
traits.remove_trait trait_handedness_right
traits.equip_trait trait_handedness_left

I'd never really thought about this, or noticed it. I'm struck sometimes by the level of detail in this game and the things I keep discovering! Very cool <3
