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 first appeared with the introduction of toddlers in ''The Sims 2''. It also appears in ''The Sims 3'', and was introduced into ''The Sims 4'' when the toddler patch was added on January 12, 2017. |

Without sufficient potty skills, toddlers will still relieve their bladder motive with a diaper, but this will significantly reduce their [[hygiene]] motive. However, having aged up with an incompletely learned {{vgversion|TS2}}{{vgversion|TS3}} or low{{vgversion|TS4}} potty skill does not affect a child Sim's ability to relieve his/her bladder motive with a standard toilet. |

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. |

Potty training is one of three toddler skills. |
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. |
||
A potty trained toddler can go potty by himself. Use the potty chair interaction is now unlocked and the toddler can now use the potty chair automatically or directly by the player. |
