It is possible to change your sim's traits through gameplay. This is with the Re-traiting potion which can be purchased from the rewards store for 5,000 satisfaction points. Once your sim buys and drinks the potion, a menu will pop up to replace the pre-existing traits your sim has.
Satisfaction points can be earnt by completing Wants and Fears or by finishing aspiration milestones.
You can also cheat your way to free satisfaction points with the following cheat:
sims.give_satisfaction_points x
Simply type the above cheat into the cheat box after enabling cheats in your game with the 'testingcheats true' command. Replace the 'x' with the number of satisfaction points you wish to have.
