Purchase and Drink the Re-Traiting Potion

To eliminate unwanted traits in The Sims 4 without resorting to cheats, the Re-Traiting Potion proves to be the most effective solution. Available for purchase in the Rewards Store, players can acquire this potion for 5,000 Satisfaction Points. If the necessary amount of Satisfaction Points is not readily available, players can obtain them by utilizing the cheat code: sims.give_satisfaction_points 5000.

Once gamers consume the potion, they will get an option in the menu that will allow them to not only remove the unwanted traits, but also pick better and well-suited ones.

Use the "Modify in CAS" Option

To modify the traits of their Sims, players can utilize the Create-a-Sim (CAS) mode. To begin, click on the "Modify in CAS" button and locate the undesired trait on the CAS screen. Subsequently, remove it effortlessly by selecting the trash can icon.

Use Cheat Codes

To access the Sim in Live mode, simply locate and click on it. Upon doing so, players will be presented with the option to Edit the Sim. From there, they can navigate to the "Traits" tab and proceed to choose which traits they desire to eliminate.

To enable cheats in The Sims 4, press "Ctrl+shift+C" on PC to bring up the cheat dialogue box. Type "testingcheats on" to enable cheats. Afterwards, you can use the cheat "traits.clear_traits" to remove all traits from a Sim. Keep in mind that using this cheat will require starting from scratch with the Sim's traits.

Using the cheat code "traits.equip_trait [traitname]," gamers can assign any trait they desire to their Sim. On the other hand, the cheat code "traits.remove_trait [traitname]" serves its purpose when there is a need to remove a single trait.

The Sims 4 is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
