Peer into Soul

Hello,

I did a little research into the "Peer into Soul" interaction that you can use by having a Sim be reborn with the Burning Soul Trait.

I wanted to know which traits you are able to keep. I didn't find much googling, so here are my findings for everyone else. Traits you CAN keep:

- All reward store traits.

- Any aspiration Reward trait (including Child and Teen aspirations)

- Any bonus trait from picking an aspiration (Quick Learner, High Metabolism, etc.) (the ones Sims can "Pass Down" with the Soul's Journey)

- Traits from After School Activity: Scouting Aptitude, Chess Master, Cheer Champion, Star Player, L33t Hacker

- Character Value Reward traits (These are not claimable as a teen, but become claimable as soon as you become 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

My supersim was in progress and did not have every trait, he had nothing from the career reward traits.

For any of the traits that have levels or opposites (Character Value, Top Notch Toddler) i did not test 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.

Once i learned the inheritable traits were not actually inherited (ironic is it not), i slightly lost interest, since it makes Super Sim Challenges with reborn sims kinda weird.

I hope someone finds this information useful.

    Traits that can be regained like reward store traits or degrees can be passed on but traits that can only be inherited and not gained through gameplay cannot? This makes the rebirth option rather unusable for my favourite sims. I can only see myself using this feature if I correct spellcaster bloodline and sulani mana after rebirth. They definitely should have been included.

      Yeah. I wanted to have an evil wizard get reborn as his descendants. But despite being in the same bloodline (which would be even MORE powerful due to being so ancient) and having years of experience, he'll be weaker?

    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 alls you need to do is have a sim with the aspiration traits "pass down" every trait through the "deep thoughts" pie menu.
