Randomly assigns traits on age up for certain Sims like in TS3.

In past games, you didn’t always get to choose your Sim’s traits as they grew up. If they fell behind on skills or struggled in school, the game would assign one for you. Sometimes the trait was good, sometimes not.
I’ve always liked the variety that adds. In The Sims 4, it’s easy to fall into picking the same traits over and over, and there’s not much challenge in that. This mod brings that variety and challenge back.

What This Mod Does
Now when your Sim ages up, the game may choose their new trait for you. Like TS3, whether you get to pick the trait or not depends on how well your Sim performed in their previous life stage.
Infant → Toddler
Outcome is based on the reward trait your infant receives.
⭐ Top-Notch Infant: You choose the trait
Requires all motives to be in excellent condition on age up
Happy Infant: Random trait, negative traits excluded
Requires all motives to be in good condition on age up
Unhappy Infant: Random trait assigned
Requires all motives to be in poor condition on age up
Toddler → Child
Outcome is based on the reward trait your toddler receives.
⭐ Top-Notch Toddler: You choose the trait
Sim must have four toddler skills at level 5 when becoming a child.
Happy Toddler: Random trait assigned, negative traits excluded
Sim must have four toddler skills at level 3 when becoming a child.
No reward trait: Random trait assigned
Child → Teen & Teen → Young Adult
Outcome is based on your child or teen's performance at school.
⭐ A grade: You choose the trait
B grade: Random trait assigned, negative traits excluded
C grade or not enrolled: Random trait assigned
D or F grade: Random negative trait assigned
Newborn → Infant
Outcome is now always randomized.
Trait Randomization Rules
You’ll still be able to choose your children and teens' aspirations regardless of their school performance. Only their new trait is subject to randomization.
All traits available in CAS are eligible for randomization, including any modded traits you have installed. What counts as a “negative” trait is defined by a curated list included within the mod.
If you’re a modder and would like any of your traits to be added, feel free to reach out. The same goes for players using custom traits. If there are traits you think should be included, let me know and I’ll add them.

Compatibility
⚠️ This mod will conflict with graycurse's Random Traits & Aspirations
ℹ️ This mod should be compatible with thepancake1 and MizoreYukii's More Traits in CAS, but I haven't tested it. If you test with it, please let me know your results!
This mod was made possible by Sims 4 Studio and Tuning Builder.

This is such a cool idea! Is this compatible with Andirz's "Smart Sim Randomizer"?
yes!
does this work for ts4?
Yes, the mod is built for TS4.
I love this mod! The aging up was of my favorite features from ts3.
can you add traits from wicked pixxel?
loooving the ts3 inspired mods thank you goat!! 🫡 if you plan on doing more and need ideas... i've been craving something like the deep conversations mod for the sims 4 i think it'd translate so well 😭
Interesting. I've not heard of that mod before. It may be worth looking at for some future mods I have planned.
I exited the game as soon as I got the public release notification, your mods are a must-haveee
hello!! been testing the mod today and it's been great. I did have a question and I wasn't able to find an answer (but I could be missing something), when does it become publicly available/leave beta testing?
Prob this weekend since no issues were reported and none were found on my end. I just want to compile all the custom traits people have asked for.
ooo will this work with your childhood consequences mod? was also wondering if you ever considered adding 'reward' type traits if the sim gets a good childhood?
Yes, all my mods work together, no worries about that! There are already reward traits in the game for good childhoods, if you max out the any of the child skills.
ohh this is interesting, could you make a version that makes it completely random, with the same "conditions" but the game will always pick from a pool of available traits?
this is EXACTLY what i needed!
I was just thinking about this feature a few days ago, I'm so glad you've brought it back! Your mods truly are a must have
Welp, I know what I'm getting
Oh this is fun! I hope in the future you will also add Chingyu's and Maplebell's trait into the system.
Yes, of course. That's part of this beta period. I need people to point me to the custom CAS traits they use.
