What’s new in version 1.1
Changes since the 31 October update.
Changes
- Love-Struck is now for teens and older.
- Daredevil: Daredevils stay Confident in a fire, but they still put it out or get to safety.
- Peaceful, Serious, Shy and Daredevil: the moodlets from being near another Sim ("Don't Be Mad...", "Please Calm Down.", "Oh No!", "Fear is a Weakness") now end as soon as no Angry, Playful, Outgoing or Scared Sim (in that order) is nearby.
- 16 moodlets no longer show a clock. The nearby-Sim ones last while the other Sim is close, as the game's own nearby moodlets do: Peaceful, Sincere, Serious, Daredevil (both), Grumpy, Shy, Age Insecure, Elegantly Aged, Natural Beauty, Unkempt, Body Positive and Grudge Holder (three). Stoic's "I am Fine" stays for as long as the Sim has the trait, now without a stuck clock.
- Elegantly Aged: Ageless Wonder now goes to nearby Sims at any time, not only when the Elegantly Aged Sim is Confident. Friends and family don't get it. Enemies do.
- Natural Beauty, Unkempt and Body Positive: family members no longer get Awed by Beauty, Discomforted By Disarray or Body Positivity. Friends and enemies were already left out.
- Dreamer: Dreamers no longer act Bored.
Good to know
- Spiritual: the Inner Peace moodlet comes from meditation, which needs Spa Day.
- Animal Whisperer: the training and vet parts need Cats & Dogs. The friendship part also works with farm animals and horses.

About
This pack brings together More CAS Traits 1 to 4, the Patreon Request traits and the Valentine’s traits. You pick them in Create a Sim, sorted into four groups: Emotional, Hobby, Lifestyle and Social. Each trait has its own file, so you can delete any trait you don’t want. Just keep the Required folder.
Emotional 17 traits, like Stoic and Dreamer.
Hobby 8 traits, like Baker and Ballerina.
Lifestyle 18 traits, like Daredevil and Generous.
Social 22 traits, like Chatty and Grumpy.
Traits come alive when the moment fits: an activity, a mood, a relationship or another Sim nearby. Some bring moodlets, some add new Chat options, and many change how fast skills and relationships grow. A few touch the Sims around them, like Grumpy or Body Positive. The base game is all you need. Some extras use packs you may own, and are skipped quietly without them.
Mod help
Install or update
- Replace the old files: delete your Maplebell Traits folders and put the new ones in their place. The folder layout and file names are the same as on 31 October. Keep Maplebell Traits - Required and the included script files.
Troubleshooting
I can’t see the traits in Create a Sim. Check the five folders sit straight inside your Mods folder, the Maplebell Traits - Required folder is there, and custom content is on.
A trait’s Chat option is missing. Keep the trait’s script file next to its package, and turn on Script Mods Allowed. Restart the game after you change that setting.
A moodlet never shows up. Many moodlets need an activity, a mood or another Sim nearby, and activity moodlets only work for the household you’re playing. Two trait parts use a pack: Spiritual’s “Inner Peace” comes from meditation, which needs Spa Day, and Animal Whisperer’s training and vet parts need Cats & Dogs.
Can I keep my old More CAS Traits files?. No. Remove More CAS Traits 1 to 4, the Patreon Request traits and the Valentine’s traits first. This pack replaces them.
