Sims with Traits Exclusive to Certain EPs

[xFezIsAFreakx]

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.
