Just like real people, characters inThe Sims 4have their own set of wants, desires, and aspirations. Players can, of course, indulge their Sims' aspirations by fulfilling their Whims. Doing so regularly accumulates Satisfaction points, which can then be spent on various bonuses in the Rewards Store.

The rewards present in the store vary greatly in their scope. Some are cheap, single-use items that improve a character’s mood. Others are major, full-blown traits that offer incredibly useful benefits. Knowing which ones to prioritize can depend on an individual Sim’s lifestyle. This collection of rewards, however, should be of use to any character inThe Sims 4.
Updated August 03, 2025 by Mark Hospodar:The Sims 4 doesn’t appear to be slowing down. With concrete details concerningThe Sims 5 still elusive, players will have to remain content with The Sims 4 for the time being. Luckily, it’s difficult to run out of things to do in the fourth entry of the beloved franchise.
Although the gameplay comprising The Sims 4 is simple to grasp, things can be made even easier when players purchase rewards from accumulating aspiration points. This list has been updated to include a few more worthwhile rewards that fans may want to snag sooner rather than later.
13Quirk-B-Gone – 250 Points
Sims wishing toembark upon a careerin Fame have to deal with both the good and bad such a lifestyle offers. Characters who develop Quirks can experience negative side effects when certain conditions aren’t being met. They can become a little more annoying to manage the more famous a Sim becomes.
A cheap and effective solution to this problem is the Quirk-B-Gone potion. Drinking it lets the player remove a single Quirk of their choosing. Since it’s quite inexpensive, players can keep a few of these potions on hand to nip unwanted Quirks in the bud.
12Gym Rat – 500 Points
Gym Rat is a fairly minor reward, but one that athletic Sims may find useful. Exercising for long periods of time drastically drains a Sim’s Hygiene meter. It’s practically mandatory that a Sim hit the showers after exercising. Otherwise, Sims run the risk of sickening others with their stink.
The Gym Rat trait eliminates the Hygiene decay a Sim experiences while exercising. This saves the player some valuable time on a given day. Gym Rat also increases a Sim’s Fun meter while exercising, which is a nice added benefit, especially if one’s Sim isn’t active by nature.
11Speed Cleaner – 500 Points
Time is valuable inThe Simsfranchise. Like in real life, Sims often have to spend time doing things they dislike. Daily chores such as cleaning one’s house are a necessary evil unless living in a pigsty is no big deal. The Speed Cleaner trait can make this process less of a hassle.

With Speed Cleaner, Sims can tidy up their surroundings about 5x faster than they normally could. Keeping a neat household is now a lot more efficient. As such, Sims can worry less about cleanliness and focus more of their time on other pursuits.
10Moodlet Solver – 500 Points
A Sim can experience a variety of different moods throughout their day. Positive moodlets make Sims happier and more productive. Conversely, negative moodlets make Sims cranky and irritable. Avoiding these negative emotions altogether is the key to a consistently happy character.
However, sometimes negative moodlets can’t be skirted. For that, the Moodlet Solver potion is the answer. It’s a single-use item that instantly rids a Sim of all their bad moodlets. Moodlet Solver is a handy potion to have in reserve for when thoseverybad days occur.
9Mentor – 1,000 Points
Skill progression inThe Sims 4is a long process. Players can’t master a skill overnight. It takes time, effort, and practice for a Sim to become an expert in a particular field. Sims that achieve that distinction have even more to offer with the Mentor trait.
Mentor allows Sims who reach Level 10 in certain skills to pass on their knowledge to those still learning. Sims that receive mentorship learn the skill much faster while under the tutelage of a more experienced character. Don’t let a Sim’s accumulated wisdom go to waste!
8Speed Reader – 1,000 Points
In a similar vein to the previous entry, any reward that increases a Sim’s skill rate is a useful investment. As in real life, Sims can learn a lot from reading books. Skill gains from reading books, however, take time just like anything else. Fortunately, there’s a reward that makes the process much easier.
The aptly named Speed Reader makes learning a skill from reading 2x faster. Players who want their Sims to learn skills via a bookcase should seriously consider this reward. At only 1,000 points, Speed Reader is certainly a reward that can be snagged sooner rather than later.
7Potion Of Youth – 1,500 Points
Growing old is one of life’s inevitabilities. Fortunately, that’s not exactly the case inThe Sims 4. Fans possess a few options regarding the extension of a Sim’s lifespan. One method is to purchase the Potion of Youth from the Rewards Store.

Drinking the Potion of Youth resets the clock on Sim’s current life stage. It’s one of the pricier potions in the store, so it may be a good idea to plan ahead when it comes to using it. Enjoy shaving off those extra years!
6Frugal – 2,000 Points
Money management is one aspect of daily life a player can’t ignore for their Sims. Households receive bills that must be paid on a regular basis or else face the consequences. Cutting down the price of bills meansmore money in the pocket of one’s Sim.
Frugal is a permanent trait that reduces the cost of a household’s bills. This is especiallyuseful for rich Simsconsidering the price of bills is scaled to the number of possessions a household owns. For Sims that are less well off, that extra money can come in handy.
5Professional Slacker – 4,000 Points
Being able to slack off at work without any consequences sounds pretty enticing. InThe Sims 4, players have to maintain a job well enough if they hope to bring home the cash that pays for their Sim’s lifestyle. Too many mistakes can quickly result in Sims waiting in the unemployment line.
However, with the Professional Slacker reward, Sims no longer have to worry about their substandard efforts at work. With this reward, Sims can’t be demoted or fired from their job no matter how much they phone in their performance. It’s a useful perk for players who don’t want their Sims' job getting in the way of all the other things that can be experienced in the game.
4Hardly Hungry – 4,000 Points
Managing a Sim’s needs is one of the core gameplay mechanics of the franchise. The only way to “lose” inThe Sims 4is when all the characters in a household die. Neglecting a Sim’s needs, such as Hunger,results in a surefire death.
The Hardly Hungry trait makes expiring from starvation much more difficult. The Hunger bar decays about 50% slower, requiring Sims to eat less. Since preparing meals can often be a time-consuming process, freeing up valuable time for other activities is beneficial. Hardly Hungry also doesn’t eliminate the need to eat completely,preserving at least some realismto one’s game.
