I had two birthday celebrations this weekend. My teen aged up to young adult at a small immediate family only birthday party.

She also aged up with perfect character values.

Emotional Control Trait - High Emotional Control Value
Sims who have the Emotional Control Trait can relieve negative moods
by jogging, listening to certain music, blogging on the computer, or
playing an instrument. In general, their negative emotions will go away
faster than other Sims. The rate of decrease for negatives is double the usual value, so these emotions (angry, stressed, embarrassed, sad, bored, and uncomfortable) are far easier to handle. The initial moodlet may be the same, but the removal of negative moods by doing things like listening to music is much faster.

Good Manners Trait - Reward for High Manners
Sims with Good Manners won't want to do any gross manners interactions, at least not in front of anyone. They also have a new Polite Introduction and can gain friendly relationships faster. GoodMannered Sims can also Offer Gratitude to the Host of a house they are visiting. They may get good moodlets from the polite introduction, but that's a side attraction. The increase to friendly relationship gain is a whopping 50%.

Responsible Trait - Reward for High Responsibility
Responsible Sims perform better at their jobs and can teach children and teens how to be responsible. Sims with Responsible seem to work hard by default, and have half the usual chance of getting stressed out doing it. Career chance cards may also be very beneficial to responsible Sims, assuming you pick the good option.

Mediator Trait - Reward for High Conflict Resolution
Mediator Sims have a higher chance at successfully apologizing to other Sims and can Mediate the Forums. They can also mend differences with Sims they have not been friendly with for a long time.

Compassionate Trait - Reward for High Empathy
Compassionate Sims can help other Sims relieve their negative emotions. They can also empathize with them by Sharing Emotional Burdens. However, these Sims get stressed when being Mean.

I'm feeling like a proud parent. :p

Now to decide what she's going to do next.

You have been playing with them for 4 actual years? WOW. I generally take about a week because I rotate. LOL I play a lot of families though so I am constantly doing the things needed to level these traits. Mine are not allowed to age up until all this is complete but I almost always get it all done in the time allotted. Someday I am going to be brave and let the traits go the other way >:) Some of them were also almost global superstars when they aged up LOL I don't really like that but their parents are both famous so they started off with fame. A lot of the time I let the fame lapse completely and have them start fresh as young adults.
