Create a Custom Trait - Sims 4 - Zerbu's Mod Constructor V4 Tutorial. I'm trying to use this application to make a Trait, but I keep getting the 'Only lower priority components can be added to an element while it's in the middle of being built.' I'm looking for a comprehensive tutorial - initially I read there was a pdf file but I can't find it. It´s solved, but I have other problem. I want create my custom Eco-friendly trait, from The sims 3 Ambitions. I know create it, but I want buff for clothes line. 'Saves electricity' when Sim use clothes line. I need use interaction running, but I can´t find clothes line interaction in this latest version Mod constructor v4 updated.

The Sims 4 does have a fair share of traits that we can pick from.

But many of them can get quite repetitive if you’re one of those who like to have a ton of Sims in one town.

It gets to a point where all sims have the same traits over and over again. And that’s when an injection of much-needed variety comes in handy.

As such I’ve compiled a list of the best custom traits add-ons that we can install for The Sims 4, all thanks to the work of a group of fantastic modders.

All of these mods are 100% free, and they can be downloaded using any of the links below. Have a gander and see what you think.

35. Alcoholic Trait

Alright I know you might’ve thought that this was going to be quite a lighthearted list, but I’m starting it with the darkest trait of them all.

The Alcoholic Trait makes your sims live depending on alcohol, which means that they will often get depressed for no apparent reason.

And they’ll only be happy when they’re having a drink or three.

For alcoholic sims, it’s never really too early to have a drink.

It’s up to you to control them or watch them burst through their minibar to make themselves a morning margarita.

34. Lot Traits

The Lot Traits pack allows you to select specific traits for a lot, allowing you to have a better level of customization in your towns and cities.

With Lot Traits you’ll be adding a bunch of new options and customizability to the game environment.

Banks, airports, train stations, bakeries, and much more.

All of them will be available to be selected as lot traits with this mod! Sounds kinda like Sim City huh?

33. Lifestyle Traits

This mod adds four new lifestyle traits to the game, two of which are very political.

You can have your sim be a Republican or a Democrat, which I actually find hilarious because the game avoids politics as much as any other.

However I’m including this mod because it adds the Meditator and All Rounder traits, which make fantastic additions to the game.

32. Hobby Traits

If you don’t like your sim to be an outright alcoholic but you still want them to enjoy a few drinks, then this mod has a trait that’ll serve you well.

The mod itself adds 4 new hobby traits to the game, one of which is the Bar Drinker trait.

Cute right?

It also adds Chess Lover as well as Coffee Lover and Beauty Lover.

Get your sims invested in what they love and select what that is for them before they are “born”.

31. Bossy Trait

This seems like a trait that could’ve easily have been in the base game.

So naturally, it’s one that I’m adding to my list.

The Bossy trait makes it so any sim that has it feels superior to the rest, which in turn makes them think that they can boss everyone else around.

It makes the sim a bit annoying. But we have to deal with people like this in our lives all the time, so why wouldn’t those who live in sim world be subjected to the same fate?

30. Handsome Trait

The Handsome Trait is fantastic for those looking to create a good-looking sim and have others recognize him for it.

This trait makes it so making friends is much easier, and every female sim will also be far more interested in your male sim than any others.

With great power comes great responsibility, though.

So be careful with how you influence others with your charming good looks.

29. Autism in Sims 4

This is a pretty serious trait mod, but one that everyone looking for a realistic experience should have in their game.

The Autism trait make sit so sims act as if they had autism – they repeat the same activities over and over again, they have issues communicating and performing any type of social activities. And they can only speak to others about a handful of topics.

It’s not a mod that’ll make your sims better in any way.

But it does add a lot of realism to the game and puts things into perspective for your others sims; figuratively speaking.

28. Arrogant Trait

Arrogant sims are extremely confident (being confident is their default emotion) and they absolutely hate failure.

They suffer negative status changes by failing or getting embarrassed in front of others.

It’s a very well-made trait, and I really enjoy having the option to make my sim a bit of an arrogant prick if I’m doing one of “those” playthroughs.

27. Feminine & Manly Traits

The Feminine and Manly traits allow your sims to feel more connected to their roots.

And each of these mods comes with one additional status change depending on random factors.

The mood of your manly sim can change and have him be more confident, or the mood of your female sim can change to have her be happier.

A cool little mod, even though these traits don’t change that much.

26. Blessed & Cursed Traits

I think you can already imagine what these traits do – they basically change the life of a sim without them having any control of what happens.

The cursed trait will make your sim’s life a bit of a living hell, whilst the blessed trait will make the life of your sim feel like they’re in heaven.

Which one would you rather have? I know which one is certainly more fun.

25. New Emotional Traits

These amazing emotional traits are basically extreme versions of other traits in the game.

You’ll have a Stoic sim, for example, which is a sim that is always super calm.

You may also have an Egghead sim which is a genius that always seems to be talking about nerdy stuff and might bore other sims with their jib-jab.

I love this because it truly makes every sim more unique than they are in the base game – extreme emotions are common among people and they should be in Simland too.

24. Two-Faced Trait

“Two-Faced Sims are untrustworthy, dishonest and backstabbing.”

Well, damn. That’s one hell of a description.

I’m guessing this trait is based on someone they know in real life or a bad breakup… but hey, let’s not complain and hope they’re doing better now!

This mod adds the ability for sims to be untrustworthy pricks. That should totally have been in the base game.

23. Spiritual Trait

Get in touch with yourself and with nature with the spiritual trait, which will make your sim feel more attached with the things we can’t see but make us feel more pure.

Having good karma is important for many people.

And now it will be important for many sims as well.

It’s time to balance those energies that float around and keep your sim in the purest of states of mind.

22. Anxious Trait

If you want a challenging but realistic trait mod then this is the one you’ll want to download.

The Anxious Trait mod makes your sim incapable of controlling their anxiety, which will result in a generalized increase of panic attacks and the inability to keep a hold of themselves in many situations that wouldn’t cause any issues to other sims.

It’s based on a real disease, so be ready to enter a new plane of realism with this trait.

Trust me it won’t be fun at all. That’s why I’m adding it to the list!

21. Bipolar Trait

The Bipolar Trait is another trait that makes it to this list not because it’s extremely fun, but moreso because it’s very realistic.

It makes your sim prone to having massive mood swings and basically turning into a bit of a maniac.

You’ll see your sim enter depressed states all of a sudden with no explanation. Well, as your Sim god I think you know why.

A realistic mod, but just like the autism and anxious traits, this is going to be challenging to play with.

Many people suffer from this so it’s natural for sims to go through something similar as well. This mod allows that to happen!

20. Naïve Trait

Here’s a fun trait that is actually very reflective of how many people are in real life.

The Naïve add-on makes it so that sims are not able
