I have heard about the pyromaniac trait and the salute trait etc. But i have heard of how you can get it two ways: by having kids with npcs and a mod. People seem to be having problems with some of the mods out there. So what i was wondering is if someone could tell me how to get these hidden traits normally through the game. Oh and also could you be detailed about your answers! That would be amazing!

Have a baby with an NPC.
The traits won't actually show up, they really are 'hidden' but they are there.

My sim had a children with a fireman NPC and they all had the pyromaniac trait.

How do you know your sims have these hidden traits?

I added a policewomen to active family,she had can apprehend burglar trait

I have no idea.......lol

My legacy founder married the pizza delivery man, and they have two kids. I definitely don't "see" a pizza trait, but theoretically, it's there.

There is a mod that lets you use these hidden traits,
I forget what it's called.
I dl'd it, i got a kick out of pyromniacs..

Some stuff from the gameplaydata.package file under TraitTuning:

Range: Float values below 1.0f. Description: A 'Crybaby' Sim has a perentage chance of crying after a route failure defined by this tunable.
deprecated on: 2/26/2008 4:02:03 PM

What the hey is a Crybaby sim? They actually programmed it in there as a trait: Crybaby. What are you going to do if half of your townies are randomly generated as crybabies when you start a new game??? Luckily it's been deprecated, or removed, taken out. But the code is still there, so maybe it's a surprise unlocking of the traits for the expansion pack...

Range: Sim minutes. Description: Number of Sim minutes that an Insomniac Sim is able to sleep at a time.

And what is this one? Is an insomniac sim the same as a light sleeper?

Career level when sims start being saluted by lower ranked Military officials. Actually the career level where they gain the trait CanSalute.

So the name of the trait is CanSalute. And what this trait does I would think is it gives your sim in the military job the ability to salute other sims. It doesn't give you anything else.

an insomniac sim

Means they can't sleep well.
Like, they barely can sleep.

Anemia means they can't stop sleeping..
