New Activities, Skills, and Traits
With a new expansion comes new traits, aspirations, and activities, of course. Your sim can now have the lifetime aspiration of “City Native” which will have them accomplishing city-specific tasks, like giving someone an apartment key, or trying out three different food stands. There are also new traits to shape your sims in lifelike ways, like the “Unflirty” or “Vegetarian” ones.
New to The Sims 4 is the singing trait, as well. You can hone this randomly through your house, at karaoke machines, or at a mic. It’s a great skill for people who want to follow the Entertainer career, or just want to own at karaoke nights.
And finally, there are new activities your sim can partake in (besides the aforementioned festivals) like playing basketball or specific video games. Eating different foods will let them learn their recipes, and you can hone your chopsticks skill (though it’s not counted in the skills menu), too. Oh, and you have a chance to die if you try the Puffer Fish Nigiri and it isn’t cooked correctly.
