Peer into Soul + Bloodlines/Inherited Traits
To my understanding, players who play with "Super-Sims" are not able to use this feature and retain bloodlines or gain bloodlines while using this feature.
I commented on another post, but EA instantly closed it without providing additional information so I am recreating it, to share its info, and shine line on the subject if possible.

Summary:
Traits you CAN keep:
- All reward store traits.
- Any aspiration Reward trait (including Child/Teens)
- Any Starting aspiration reward (Quick Learner etc.)
- Traits from After School Activity: (Chess Master etc.)
- Character Value Reward traits (Not claimable as a teen, become claimable as a young adult) (Responsible, Manners, etc)
- University Degrees (including Mixology Certificate). You can claim them as a Teen, they become fully functional as a Young Adult. (also remembers if you got them with honors). Fully functional in starting careers at a higher level.
- Top notch infant & toddler
- Certain other traits: Authentic Prankster, Self Esteem, The Knowledge, Seasoned Gamer
Traits that did NOT transfer:
- Inheritable traits: Sulani Mana, Ancient Spellcaster, Greater Wolf Blood, Father Winter's baby
- Immortal from the Magic Potion
- Mental Magister (Brainiacs in University)
- Werewolf Ally
- High School Graduation status
- Any Spellcaster perks or spells
Supersims in progress and did not have every trait, have nothing from the career reward traits.
For any of the traits that have levels or opposites (Character Value, Top Notch Toddler) not tested if you can earn a different version of the trait and then claim the other version, making you have two traits that were previously exclusive to each other. Might be possible.
Inheritable traits were not actually inherited (ironic is it not), causing a loss of interest, since it makes Super Sim Challenges with reborn sims kinda weird.
Additional Notes:
For those wondering. After a bit of testing. The Super-Duper-Sim is possible. Annoying but possible. Youll need two sims. One that has all inheritances and another that has All character value reward traits. Once you have the super sim all you need to do is have a sim with the aspiration traits "pass down" every trait through the "deep thoughts" pie menu.
(I don't even know exactly what this means. It does not identify which sim is which, and how it is done exactly.)
It would be nice if you can retain inherited traits such as bloodlines, or have some other option implemented to allow for Super-Sim creation.
At the very least, EA/Maxis should allow for Young Adults to be children of Young Adults in CAS so players can easily restore save files, and play with Super-Sims with fewer bugs/issues, and complications.
