Then add as many of the trait package files as you desire to the same folder. Since this involves a script file, these traits should only be placed one subfolder deep. The Sims 4 Mod Constructor has been updated for the latest patch. You can get the updated version here: The update fixes an issue introduced with the patch that broke custom traits. Trait creators will need to re-export their traits for them to work with the patch. The update also fixes broadcasters not working, and careers not displaying text.

Working for The Sims 4 v1.68 / Snowy Escape Patch

Update 12/4/20

• Technophobes and Tinkers now recognize the new technology-based interactions introduced in Snowy Escape
• Worldly Sims now recognize the new festival activities
• Various miscellaneous fix ups for the Snowy Escape pack

Note: Despite the similar names between my trait and the new lifestyle, I do not plan to change the name of the Technophobe trait.

Update 11/11/20

The Worldly trait is now fully base game compatible!

New features for the Worldly trait:

• Compatibility changes for patch 1.68
  • Worldly Sims now get bonuses as long as they're on vacation in any world, not just in Destination worlds.
  • Worldly Sims are immune to the Homesick moodlet.
  • Going to a beach no longer counts as a vacation, unless you also rent a home in Sulani.
• New effects of going on vacation
  
  • Worldly Sims now get a special moodlet when they return home from a vacation based on how long the vacation was.
  • Vacations less than 12 hours give the Sim a Jet Lag moodlet which boosts the Uncomfortable mood, lowers work performance, and makes the Sims act mean.
  • Vacations longer than a day get progressively better Afterglow moodlets that can boost the Happy mood, work performance, skill gain rate, and relationship gains.
  • Visiting special lot types like Beach, Temples, and Chalet increase your vacation quality twice as fast.
• 'Glad I Tried It' changes
  • Worldly Sims now more reliably get the 'Glad I Tried It' moodlet from the following sources:
    • Eating an experiment dish from Dine Out
    • Being overwhelmed by foods sold at City Living and Jungle Adventure food stands
    • Learning any new recipes by eating a new dish for the first time
  • The 'Glad I Tried It' moodlet now boosts the Inspired mood

New Italian strings provided by ISY.

This trait pack adds a total of eight new traits (six Hobby traits and two others) most of which require your Sim to regularly participate in their favorite pastime or else risk becoming stressed out. Each trait comes with new moodlets, social interactions with custom loots and speech bubbles, and whim sets.

Traits Included in This Pack

Artisan

These Sims enjoy making things by hand, and will become Happy when woodworking, making flower arrangements, or baking.

Competitive

These Sims love to take part in games of skill. They get strong moodlets from winning or losing a game, and may become Bored if they don't take part in competitions for too long.

(Social Trait)

Horticulturist

These Sims love to work in their garden. They get Happy anytime they are working with plants, and they enjoy harvesting the fruits of their labor most of all.

Movie Buff

These Sims love to watch movies and talk about them. They get strong moodlets after the film is over (for better or worse) and get benefits by sharing their thoughts on the quality of the film with others.

Scribe

These Sims love to write books, blog posts, and journal entries. Anything with the written word with keep them Happy.

Technophobe

These Sims are old-fashioned and get stressed out by any new technology with more than two buttons. They're acutely aware of the ever-present and looming threat of robot overlords.

Technophobes will struggle with any technologically minded skill, especially Programming and Robotics, and will see further penalties to any career involving these skills. They may have a strong reaction to seeing a Servo in person.

(Lifestyle Trait)

Tinker

These Sims love to know what makes things tick. They love doing upgrades, working on robots, and programming. Tinkers get a bonus to mechanical skills like Programming, Handiness, Rocket Science, and Robotics. Building and activating a Servo is as fulfilling to Tinkers as having a baby would be for most other Sims.

Worldly

These Sims love to take part in and experience culture. They like going on vacation, attending festivals, and posting about it on social media. These Sims will get stressed out if they don't go on vacation or to a festival in a while.

Going on great vacations can give these Sims powerful moodlets that give bonuses to careers, skills, and relationships.

Worldly Sims get a bonus to the Selvadorado Culture skill, and excel at the Social Media and Secret Agent careers.

(The Longer Cooldown option changes the need for vacation from two weeks to three weeks. Only install one version.)

I'm really sorry about that! I updated the wrong version and left those out by accident. I will upload a corrected version immediately.

Hi, I translated into Russian http://simfileshare.net/folder/101286/
