Usually I don't care much for aspirations and the reward traits. I'm mostly into story telling and building.
But for my last build,
the wine and cheese cellar, I remembered that there was a trait which prevents food from spoiling -
The 'Fresh Chef' trait!
The other trait rewards from the food category are pretty useful too.
So we can store our cheese in the shelves now - awesome!
Which aspiration traits do you usually go after and think they're awesome for your way to play?
There is also a
list with the aspirations and traits on Carl's Sims 4 Guide (not fully updated).

Dauntless
From Completing the Live Fast Aspiration
Dauntless Sims always live life to the fullest and the Grim Reaper has a soft spot for dauntless pleas during matters of life and death. Risky fun sure has its perks.
I hate that Master Chef is only available to Adults. I have never tried to cheat the Fresh Chef trait to a teen, but I am tempted to try it. It is a very handy trait to have for storytelling purposes.
The last update has been really tough on Mods and I have been looking at the available traits more creatively to see how I might be able to replace mods and CC with combinations of cheats. The Fresh Chef trait is a gamechanger for some stories.

I also tried it with a teen and I can also confirm that it works! This a gamechanger for an offgrid teen Sim. Thanks for starting this thread!
The hidden grilled cheese aspiration is just a fun one to do in general, and it is useful to be able to summon a grilled cheese at any moment too.
It's cool that you can earn interest on your household funds with the fabulously wealthy aspiration, but I will say that by the time I achieve that aspiration, usually my sims are bringing in enough money regularly so it's not as helpful as it could potentially be starting off.
I love the option to instant upgrade with the nerd brain aspiration. Definitely one that is a helpful time saver when upgrading household items.
More than aspiration traits, I love being able to purchase reward traits for my sims, because so many of them are so useful in helping with need decay and skill gain and just other random little things that make game play so much more enjoyable in my opinion.
- Fresh chef, like others have said it is really helpful
- top notch toddler : improved skill gain
- scouting aptitude : also improved skill gain from reaching the top of the scouting hobby
- responsible from maxing character values with parenthood. Sims always work hard, sometimes they automatically complete daily tasks
- good manners from character values : friendly introduction is great for starting friendships with strangers
- grilled cheese for those sims who like to do adventure like exploring the jungle
Took the time today to look into a few other trait rewards.
This one comes in very handy for my hissing vampires since their friendships drop a lot because of this.
(I hope I got the description right ^^' or is it just that you don't loose a relationship when it's low?)
They live all together and all their friendships bars are full, except those with the two vampires...
I hope this counts for horses too(?)
Oh my this will help a lot!
This one I took for the wildlife attacks. The thing about the weather seems awesome too.
This is the cheat to complete the milestones:
aspirations.complete_current_milestone
Imo this is faster than picking the cheat for each trait.

I have started using this cheat. I am not sure the exact cheat. I have seen it listed a few ways and I tried it a few ways before I saw it listed. I do not want to use the complete milestone cheat for teens, because I do not want the game to register "become an adult" or "Join a career".
Professorial (Renaissance Sim Aspiration) traits.equip_trait Chronicler
This reward allows a sim to write skill books for any skill they have maxed. Teen authors should be allowed to write skill books.
In the Sims 3, The Renaissance Lifetime Reward is to max out THREE skills. For Sims 4, I am requiring my teen to complete the Renaissance aspiration up to "become an adult", to max SIX skills, and to have reached at least level 8 of the Author Aspiration. I am probably requiring too much. I intend to write lists of requirements for the other "become an adult" aspirations.
