Sim changing traits through gameplay (Growing Together)

Yes, it becomes an extra trait. With discoveries your sim can have up to 6 traits (3 from CAS and 3 from gameplay).

While I still wish the game offered more traits to choose from, I have to say I do enjoy this new feature. So far it has happened for three different Sims I am playing and the suggested new trait always made sense in context. I didn't accept all of them but I especially enjoyed when one of my Sims - who has been in a relationship for a long time - was offered the 'loyal' trait. That's exactly how this trait makes the most sense imho. The Sim now has 4 traits, btw. I wonder if you can play a Sim with the 'non-committal' trait in such a way that the game suggests replacing it with 'loyal'. Or vice versa.

I saw a screenshot somewhere where a simmer made Don Lothario into a stand up boyfriend changing his trait like this ?

I never thought I'd see the day! :D

You can choose to ignore them too, my poor sims needed a nap after getting home late from vacation and the game is like he is feeling lazy, rude lol.

I do have to mention that sims can have max of three self-discovery moments. This means after 3 trait gains/replacements, your sim won't have more self-discovery moments.

Fortunately, as the game gives an option to decline a trait gain/replacement, declining it won't count towards the three self-discovery moment limit.

I have really enjoyed this feature, though have not accepted every suggestion. The suggestions have been based on what the sim is currently doing and in some cases I didn't really see much continuity or maybe I just wasn't paying attention. I've been suggested squeamish, neat (two different sims), loyal, active, lazy, gloomy and a switch from gloomy to cheerful. I have made my decisions based on how I feel about the sim in whole scale.

Is a parent of two newborns taking a lot of naps and watching TV for fun lazy? I think not! Is a gloomy sim who got engaged and had two babies suddendly cheerful or just in another phase of life? After consideration I decided not to accept, but it could have made a permanent change. Is a workaholic sim who enjoys swimming active? Yeah, why not.

Unless it conflicts with a trait your sim has. In that case, the trait can get replaced.

Oh, interesting. Haven't thought about that. ?
