How to use it in game
- In Create a Sim, open the personality traits.
- Look under Emotional, Hobby, Lifestyle or Social.
- Pick a trait as you would any EA trait.
There are no opening hours. Effects show up when the trait’s conditions are met: an activity, a mood, a relationship, or another Sim nearby.
- Moodlets do not stay on all the time. Most come and go with what your Sim is doing or feeling.
- Some moodlets come after an activity (dancing, baking, gaming, reading, hugging). These only work for Sims in the household you are playing.
- Some traits affect other Sims nearby. Grumpy, Body Positive and Natural Beauty are examples. The moodlet goes when the Sims move apart.
- Some traits add a Chat option when you click another Sim, such as “Talk About Desired Dreams” for Dreamer or “Give Some Money to…” for Generous. These only happen when you choose them.
- Many traits change how fast skills grow, or how fast relationships go up or down.
Some trait moodlets, including ones Sims feel near another Sim.

What’s new in 1.1 (12 November 2026)
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 do not 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.
Known limits
- Some descriptions are partly flavour. Several traits describe more than they do. The table marks them.
- English text. All 18 game languages show the English text for now.
Troubleshooting and FAQ
I cannot see the traits in CAS. Check the five folders sit straight inside Mods, that Maplebell Traits - Required is there, and that 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. Check the trait’s line in the table. Many moodlets need an activity, a mood or another Sim nearby. Activity moodlets only work for the household you are playing.
Spiritual never gets “Inner Peace”. That moodlet comes from meditation, which needs Spa Day.
Animal Whisperer’s training and vet parts do nothing. Those parts need Cats & Dogs. The friendship part also works with farm animals and horses.
Can I delete traits I do not want? Yes. Delete their package (and their script, if they have one). Never delete the Required folder.
I still have More CAS Traits 1 to 4 installed. Can I keep them? No. Remove the old collections, the Patreon Request traits and the Valentine’s traits first. This pack replaces them.
Where did Vintage Lover and Monogamous go? They were described in an old post but never made. They are not in this pack.
My child Sim cannot have Love-Struck. That is the 1.1 change. Love-Struck is now for teens and older.
If something else goes wrong, tell me which trait, what you expected, and which packs you have.
