In part two of the story (in the making) there will more be explained about it.

Update: This way of revealing Hidden Traits doesn't seem to work anymore after installing Pets.

Is there a sim package editor program that you can see hidden traits in?

What do you mean? I've never heard of such a program.

There was one for sims 2, and you could open any package file and clone it, and then adjust things like price, environment score etc. It was also how you could recolour things for sims 2. You had to open them in the package editor (PE) and then export the images, and use something like photoshop. I don't know what the ones for sims 3 are like - they all look too complicated to me. I mostly only used it for sims 2 to recolour things (and make some replacement colours too for a medival theme).

Perhaps that's possible, but programs that may support that are mods and therefore not discussable here.
Unless you mean something else. You can pm me if you have doubts.

Today I was playing and my family had a baby. The game informed me that the baby was born with the pyromaniac trait. I have never noticed the game telling me when a baby has a hidden trait before. Also could the pyro trait come from her dare devil father.

Interesting. Mayby it's something new for the latest patch or something to inform the gamer about a Duma charasterstics hidden underneath.
Could you kept me informed about future knowledge about more possible findings according to this?

That's cool but how do you get hidden traits?

Galena · « **Reply #35 on:** January 21, 2012, 10:40:36 PM »

You get then by having children with Npcs, like the maid or policeperson.

Part of Carl's guide explains it in more detail. It is at the bottom of the page. Here's the link http://www.carls-sims-3-guide.com/traits/.

Leto,I have a question. I had my decadynasty heir reach level ten in the fire Fighter career so that she is immune to fire will her heir and subsequent descendants also have the immune to fire trait.

The plan is that I won't loose any heirs accidentally to a firey death.

I spotted one of my sims having a new hidden trait, labeled as DNT. Anyone have any idea what this stands for?

Dear Rachel, what exactly is your question?

@Branr: I've never heard of it. Have you find any things that particular Sim can do others don't?

My sim is currently in the music career (symphonic), the only out-of-the-ordinary thing she has done is ask the genie to make her beautiful. I have read in other threads where no one saw any change in the sim that received that particular wish, and I am wondering if this hidden trait might be the reward, and wondered what it does.

I really have no idea. Wish I would though. So all my hope is on you now.

Perhaps you will find it out in time, who knows, or someone else will get the same hidden trait and can learn you a thing or two.

Hi,

Very interesting these hidden traits!
I was going to have my sim marry an fireman who is not an NPC, but now I am thinking of trying to let her marry an NPC

I found this on The Sims Wiki:
Hidden traits Labeled "DNT" come with The Sims 3: Showtime. Sim can't get the that traits except using 3rd party mod. Those hidden traits don't have any effect to sims.
Don't understand what "using 3rd party mod" means though... but maybe you do?

"Using 3rd party mod" means utilizing a .package file to alter game coding in a way in which to fix glitches, add new functionality, or both. Example: twallan's Traveler Mod is both, it enables you to see what causes a vacation to fail, and it allows any world to be used as a Vacation World.
So in this sense, it means using a Mod like MasterController to unlock the trait.

Do mean we could go to Riverview or Lunar Lakes on vacation? That would be cool.

Hi and welcome to the forum.
I now wonder which hidden traits Sims Wiki was revering too.
And if they can not be added to a sim, why are they in the game? Npc only? Perhaps through breeding, perhaps not. First I like to know what those hidden traits do.

Thanks.
I was actually wondering the same thing when I went over my message again... Why would there be hidden traits labeled that do not have any effect? What's the point?
Honestly, I don't know. This was literally what I found. I would love to know more, just like you

Exactly. I have all towns except for LL and HS, as well as a custom town (and UC as well!). This means I could travel to any of them on vacation. I haven't tested it yet, as I downloaded it yesterday and haven't had time to play Sims since then.

Although that is interesting information you got there, it also is slightly offtopic. Perhaps you would like to start a new topic about this subject, in the mod section.
