Can you change traits in The Sims 4 in the MC Command Center?

Unfortunately, it is not yet possible to modify traits using the MC Command Center. The creator of MCCC does not plan to work on it until a new UI element has been implemented by the game developers. /www.techjunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/003/003/Traits-in-Sims-003.jpgu0022 alt=u203206Traits in Sims 0022u0022u500e

Why can't I change my Sim's traits?

Once you create a character, their traits cannot be changed unless you take a Re-Treating Potion or use cheats. Sometimes traits can't be changed even in CAS mode - this happens when using Story mode. In this mode, character traits are determined by your answers to a quiz. However, you can also change Story Mode traits using cheats.

What types of traits are there in The Sims 4?

There are several types of traits in The Sims 4: personality, death, bonus, and reward. Personality traits include emotional traits, hobbies, lifestyle, and social traits. Death traits determine how a Sim will die and how they will act when ghosted. Bonus and reward traits are different, mostly related to a Sim's abilities – for example, a character can learn to act or improve their relationship with animals.

How many traits can a Sim have?

In CAS mode, you can choose up to three personality traits for an adult Sim, up to two traits for a teenager, and a single trait for children and toddlers. As the Sims kids get older, you will have the option to select more traits. Bonus traits can be selected with a character's aspiration. You can only choose one bonus trait and it cannot be changed later. Death traits can be chosen upon death, only one per character. Reward traits are unlimited.
