▲In ''The Sims'' series, '''potty''' refers to a skill that is associated with a toddler's ability to relieve his/her bladder motive through the use of a potty chair. The skill starts appearing in ''The Sims 2'', and has appeared in all base games ever since (although it has appeared in ''The Sims 4'' when the toddler patch was added on 12th January 2017).
Without sufficient potty skills,
== The Sims 2 ==
Toddlers can be taught this skill whenever a [[teen]] or older Sim carries them to a potty chair. They will build the skill alongside relieving their bladder motive, and will crawl off the chair automatically when their bladder motive is full. The potty chair must be emptied after each use. When the toddler has mastered the skill, both the teaching Sim and the toddler will get a [[memory]] of the incident, and the toddler will be able to use the potty chair on their own, even if the chair is full. Toddlers will often roll a [[want]] to be potty trained; although it is possible for a toddler to grow up well without having been potty trained, being potty trained makes it more likely that they will grow up with a gold or platinum aspiration bar.
Since toddlers will build the skill for the entire duration of time that they are seated on the potty chair, the player can simply use cheats to lower or even freeze the toddler's bladder motive while they are on the potty chair. The toddler will then be seated on the potty chair indefinitely, allowing the player to build their potty training skill in one sitting.
== The Sims 3 ==
Potty training is one of three toddler skills. Much like ''The Sims 2'', an older Sim must carry the toddler to a potty chair, which will build both their potty training skill and their bladder motive. Each time the toddler is brought to the chair, they will learn a quarter of the skill. The chair can be used even when it is full, although doing so will result in puddles leaking from it every time it is used until emptied. Much like ''The Sims 2'', a toddler can use the potty chair on their own once they have mastered the skill.
== The Sims 4 ==

Unlike other toddler skills in ''The Sims 4'', the maximum level a toddler can attain in the potty skill is 3, and it has no corresponding child skill.
Two potty chairs are available: the Practice Potty (§75) and the Monster Potty Partner (§125). A potty chair will need to be cleaned from time to time; a dirty potty chair will make Sims [[uncomfortable]] while they are around it.
▲In level 1 and below, toddlers are unable to use the potty chair by themselves and will always need supervision of a teen Sim or older. The exception is if the toddler has an independent trait.
As a toddler's potty skill level increases, they gain more abilities aimed

▲As a toddler's potty skill level increases, they gain more abilities aimed to help them use the potty chair more effectively and confidently:
▲* '''Level 2''': toddlers can now use the potty chair unsupervised, however the toddler will not always automatically use the potty chair when their bladder motive is low. There is still a risk that the toddler may use their diapers instead causing a low hygiene motive for them and an uncomfortable moodlet to Sims around them. The player will more often than not need to direct the Toddler to the potty chair.
▲* '''Level 3''': toddlers are now more likely to automatically head for the potty chair whenever their bladder motives are low. They will also wake up from sleep in order to use the potty as opposed to their diaper. While the potty will be prefered, toddlers can still use their diapers.
