More Traits in CAS v3a
TL;DR
Download thepancake1_MoreTraitsinCAS_v3a from the bottom of this post, then put it in your Mods folder. Make sure Mods are enabled in your game settings.
More Traits in CAS lets you add more traits to your sims in Create a Sim.
Version 3a works with game version 1.125!
The ages and their new personality trait counts:
Young Adult and older: 5 traits (up from 3 previously)
Teen: 4 traits (up from 2)
Child: 3 traits (up from 1)
Toddler: 2 traits (up from 1)
Infants remain at one trait.
Remember that despite more traits being available, you don't need to fill out all traits! Self discovery (from Growing Together/EP13) still works with this mod installed, so your sim can still unlock even more traits during gameplay.
They'll show as a little hexagon near the second to the last trait.
What's new?
A slightly redesigned trait layout makes it easier to add more variants down the road. The previous version went over the sides because it added more traits while keeping the same size, but this update makes them fit in the original space.
Lot traits are now more similar to the human traits in layout.
What's fixed?
The personality trait panel extending beyond the right corner of the box when aging up or drinking the personality potion is now fixed.
Before
After
Lots of behind the scenes changes were made to make updating More Traits in CAS much easier using python scripts to edit the xml.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is updating from the previous version to this version okay?
Yes.
Can you use CC traits with More Traits in CAS?
Yes.
Where did the chingyu version go?
Vicky Sims/chingyu hasn't posted on their patreon since September 2025, but due to demand, I'm supporting this version again. Remember that the chingyu version is only needed if you have this specific mod of theirs on this page "More CAS Traits Mod + Long-Lived Traits + Add Traits Menu" with the file "chingyu_MoreTraitsMod_Option_" You don't need it if you only have their CC traits.
Can I uninstall the mod?
Yes, but any traits exceeding the default EA maximum will be removed on your sim.
Do pets gain additional traits with this mod?
Right now, no. I'm looking forward to see how feasible it is to add them though!
Conflicts
This modifies the traitsmoleculelibrary gfx file, and also the sims.aging.aging_tuning tuning and simdata files. Any mod that modifies these will conflict with More Traits in CAS.
Special thanks to the devs behind S4Studio, the devs behind JPEXS ffdec, and the devs behind python and lxml.
