Hidden traits are traits in The Sims 3 that cannot be seen in-game except when a Sim performs a related action autonomously or an unlocked interaction is available.

Hidden traits become available to Sims in specific careers or to babies with an NPC for a parent. The child might then get the appropriate hidden trait.
