Overall, I think this is a good starting point! Some of the features were a lot like my own experiences of being autistic! I also liked how it balanced the good parts of being autistic and along with the challenges. My sim also got tired very quickly after socialising, which I experience a lot, but most non-autistic people don’t realise this! I really appreciated this small detail, and it’s extremely relatable! My sim chose to read books over socialising (although they also had the bookworm trait, so this could be a factor).

There were a few other things I noticed were slightly different. My sim didn’t react much when they were overwhelmed, but I felt their emotions were being described accurately (as they felt very tense). I think this was important to include as this can be completely overwhelming. When the sim is in busy places, they can get over-stimulated from too much noise. I loved this aspect as it brings in the positive side of autism and not just the doom and gloom we see in the media! So one of the first things I noticed was the enhanced focused feature from the Asperger trait (which actually came on a lot for my sim). When choosing personality traits in create a sim, select the Aspergers trait with the lama icon (I wonder why they chose a lama? 🤔), and your sim is now autistic! As I’m autistic, I was curious to see how adding autism into the sims could work, which I think is a great idea! So let’s take a look at the mod!įirst, download the mod (Link is at the bottom of the page) and move the file into the mod folder you have for the Sims 4. The mod is called ‘Aspergers Custom Trait’ by miceylulu. While browsing online, I came across a mod which can give your sims autistic traits. However, it’s only recently I’ve come across mods and custom content on the sims (which I have found to be a game-changer). I loved the video game since I was a child during the early days of The Sims 1.

If you follow me on twitter, you may be aware I’m a Sims fan.
