Sims with Traits Exclusive to Certain EPs
« on: July 03, 2011, 06:13:46 PM »
If I was to upload a sim to the Swap Shop who has traits exclusive to certain EPs (e.g: The Savy Sculptor trait in Ambitions) would people who don't have that EP still be able to download him? Would the game just replace that trait with something else? I have put a notice on my sims who have traits from other EPs saying that that sim will only be downloadable with that EP but I'm not entirely sure this is correct..

Yes, I believe so. They would just have to replace that Trait with something else

I know their related skills will disapear, but for traits I'm not 100% sure. Although I should be logically if they did disapear.
However... the ability of downloading a famous sim without having Late Night is still a posibility though so maybe the trait will remain, but it won't have a functionality.

This is a gray area where I'm not certain.  Some things are exclusive to the expansion packs, such as clothing, furniture, hairstyles, but some things become part of the base game.  I thought traits might be something that gets upgraded with the patches as the expansions come out.  It's entirely possible that a player with a fully updated base game would have all traits and Lifetime Wishes available.  If we can get someone who only has the base game to verify this, that would be great.

I just did the testing. I have Vanilla + Ambitions.
I downloaded Tia Cloud from the Swap shop, she has the star quality trait and the LTW Lifestyle of the rich & famous that are proper to LN.

The Launcher anounce any not owned (Store, EP, SP) thing:


The install repeats the warning:


And the result in CAS isn't surprising:


There is an empty trait slot and the LTW isn't chosen. As her clothes and hairstyle in download are from store or another EP, they were replaced by the game.

Tell me please if you find any mistake in my post. English is not my mother language. It's "only" the third one in frequency of utilisation. I'm "half-French".
