The Sims 4 Life And Death Cheats
Trait Cheats
The expansion pack brought 10 new traits to the game; 3 CAS traits, 3 rewards traits and 4 grief type traits. You can apply all of these easily to your sim using The Sims 4 Life and Death Cheats!
Skeptical Sims don’t trust everything they see and want to find solid proof of anything they’re unsure of. The Skeptical trait is not compatible with the Macabre trait.
traits.equip_trait trait_Skeptical
Chased by Death Sims are, well, chased by death. If they’re involved in any activities that could kill them, then it’s unlikely they’ll get away unscathed! Sims with this trait get to progress their soul’s journey faster, though.
traits.equip_trait trait_ChasedByDeath
Macabre Sims enjoy all things that the darkness offers and aren’t afraid of anything concerning death or the afterlife. It’s not just a phase, mom! The Macabre trait is not compatible with the Skeptical trait.
traits.equip_trait trait_Macabre
Grimborn is a reward trait – Sims acquire this trait if they are offspring of the Grim Reaper. Their lifespans are longer and they have a scythe shaped birthmark underneath their ear.
Traits.equip_trait Grimborn
Grim Descendant is a reward trait – offspring of Grimborn Sims have this trait but they don’t have a longer lifespan.
Traits.equip_trait GrimDescendant
Ghost Whisperer is a reward trait for completing the Ghost Historian aspiration.
