Compatibility & Self-Discovery Explained

Grief Trait Replacements

With Life & Death, the grief system is introduced. Depending on whether your sim copes with it well or badly, a trait swap can be suggested. These will not count towards the Self-Discovery limit, nor will they stop happening once 3 Self-Discovery moments are had. More on Self-Discovery here.

When sim copes with grief positively, a negative trait could be swapped to a positive one, and when your sim copes with grief negatively, a positive trait could be swapped to a negative one. Remember that the replacement trait suggested may not conflict with the trait being replaced and the replacement can always be declined.

In essence, when a grief ends, if a lot of positive (+50) or negative (-75) coping was done, a trait swap can be suggested. If sim stays between the hidden value of -75 to 50, no trait swap happens once the grief ends.

Here are lists of:

• Positive Swaps (A negative trait becomes positive)
• Negative Swaps (A positive trait becomes negative)

One trait can have multiple trait-swap options. For example, Loves Outdoors can either change to Lazy or Gloomy.
