When creating a Sim, players are tasked with selecting 4 traits in the CAS (Create a Sim) mode. To inspire their Sims, selecting the “Creative” trait will do wonders. Choosing this trait will make the Sims more confident in executing their creative interests. Those who have already created their Sims can also change traits without losing progress in the game.
