[prettiammie2005]

I'd like a 'Shy' trait.... I know they have loner, but being shy and being a loner are two different things. I always thought a loner LIKES to be alone, whereas a shy person wants friends but has a hard time making them.

I would say 'serious', but I guess you could assume that 'no sense of humor' means the same thing.... hmm...

I wish they would add a 'childfree' trait, but I'm guessing that's a little too specific LOL It would just be nice to have a middle ground between wants tons of kids, and hates kids all together. I know I don't want kids, but I certainly don't hate them (or I hope I don't anyway, since I'm a babysitter lol).

ETA: If they make a pets expansion (and chances are they will) I'd like a 'dog person' or a 'cat person' trait! Imagine if we could have a real crazy cat lady!

[higgins534_SC]

Oh shy would be good. And you're right about the difference between Shy and Loner...I guess Sims who are Shy would have the desire to make friends, whereas a Loner Sim wouldn't etc.

I like the idea of the Traits about Pets. Maybe just 'Animal Lover' though, rather than separate dog/cat ones? But then again, a lot of people seem to be either cat or dog people in real life.

Perhaps Aggressive/Passive? With Aggressive Sims more likely to physically fight, and to use brute force in life circumstances.

Feminine/Masculine. Would mostly influence animations and would allow some different social interactions. Also they would desire things stereotypical of being feminine/masculine...such as nicer clothes for feminine, muscly physique for masculine etc.

Impulsive. Impulsive Sims would be more likely to see/think something and want to have/do/say it. Also doing extreme social interactions, that seem out of the bounds of the relationship (so kiss a friend etc.).

[tree4me]

Cheese-in-plastic-wrappers hater. That would make a perfect 'me' sim! :lol:

[sharkloverplayer]

Loves pets
Hates pets
Bad Kisser

[McNum_SC]

Some basic ones:
- Hates Vegetables (as in REALLY hates vegetables, to the point of yelling at carrots...)
- Optimist (Bad things doesn't cost so much)
- Pessimist (Bad things has worse consequences)

For the eventual pets pack:
- Cat Person
- Dog Person
- [insert pet here] person
- Hates Animals

And since magic is two for two in Sims expansions:
- Mystic
- Does not believe in magic
- Charmed
- Cursed

[prettiammie2005]

Oh! I like the feminine/masculine trait idea! I know there has always been a lot of 'pretty boy' contests around here, and I am definitely into the whole 'dude looks like a lady' thing... It would be nice to actually get the guys to have a more feminine personality too. :3

[sharkloverplayer]

How about germaphobe?

[higgins534_SC]

Haha that'd be good...maybe Obsessive Compulsive might be a better one though. A symptom of it can be over thinking about germs. But there would be more to it than just that, to make it a more interesting Trait.

Although OCD would be similar to worrywart, neurotic and neat. So not sure...guess it depends how they did it.


A Loves Sports trait could be good. Sims with that trait would gain body skill faster, enjoy exercise/sports more, have a slight advantage in fights over other Sims, and have some unique interactions...maybe with exercise equipment they have special exercises, also they could be able to drink energy drinks from the fridge.

Smart/Dumb?

Obsessive. A Sim would get obsessed with certain things (often strange)...they would want to do it/them all the time, would get wishes to do with it, and would autonomously do it more then other Sims. A Sim could even get obsessed with other Sims?

That's all for now. Will try to think of more.

[prettiammie2005]

LOL they have the smart trait already but your comment made me realize they have no dumb/stupid trait! I want stupid sims! :O It would take them much longer to learn skills... they could probably die more often by causing fires or getting electrocuted.

Do they have a 'vain' trait, or something equivalent to it? I want a sim who always wants to look at themselves/talk about themselves. :3

[Winternerd]

I'd love to see a dense trait, I think it'd be hilarious, your Sim gets hit on by someone and they have no idea what the Sim hitting on them is talking about.

[tiemytieplease]

I really want the smart/stupid trait as well. I was looking forward to creating a stupid, evil, vain, rock star sim. I think that would be fun. Maybe intelligence is influenced some other way?

[happycowlover]

I think the closest we have to a Stupid trait is the Absent-Minded trait. The description for that trait is that they'll often forget what they're doing and may easily wander off. Not necessarily dumb, but it's kinda close.

[SweetAsLemons]

I think an "Awkward" trait would be fun. A nice touch for the Geeky sims, hehe.

[Malison_SC]

Hypochondriac? Constantly looking at that pimple on their face in the mirror, thinking "Is it a lump or a pimple?! Is it infected?!"(a thought bubble then comes up with a hospital symbol or something, or a doctor they know), easily makes friends with doctors, and completely freaks-out when they have a cold :D

That coupled with a few obsessive traits, 'kleptomaniac' and 'awkward' and we'd have a sim just waiting to have a breakdown amidst their stolen goods, but not able to talk to anyone about it =D

[prettiammie2005]

Hypochondriac is good! Your sim would constantly be visiting the hospital, calling in sick to work, checking their temperature and eating chicken soup :P

I was thinking... maybe an 'Allergic to Everything' trait... Everyone's met a person who can barely eat any foods, can't sniff flowers, can't have pets, can't be around dust, can't take many medications, can't dye their hair, can't use certain kinds of band-aids etc etc because they're really allergic to almost everything. They would have to eat only certain kinds of food, and stay away from sources of pollen or they could risk the chance of dying or ending up in the hospital.

On the same train of thought, an Allergic to Sunlight trait would be cool. Your sim would be much like a vampire, only without the drinking blood part. They would need to live in a house with covered windows so they wouldn't get sick.

Or maybe an 'Asthmatic' trait, so your sims have to carry a puffer around with them... or that could be another part of the 'Allergic to Everything' trait.

If they do a seasons-like EP down the road (and I know they will because we need weather) I want to see traits like 'Loves the Rain' or 'Hates Snow'. I know I would give my self sim the 'Hates Snow' trait, because there is nothing in the world I dislike more than snow DX

It would be neat to see a 'Dependant' trait, or something equivalent to it. Your sim never wants to/can't do anything for themself... needs to be cooked for, cleaned for, kept company at all times... otherwise they are completely helpless.

Now I know there's got to be a better word for this one, but I use the term 'Brown Thumb' (lol)... A sim who can't touch plants without killing them. They could be watering them on time every day, talking to them, playing them music, but the plants still shrivel up and die.

We have virtuoso for our musicians... artistic for our painters... bookworm for our writers... but what about our dancers?! We need some kind of dancer trait, and maybe a career to go along with it!

[coltraz]

Is there not already a "lazy" trait?

[prettiammie2005]

Is there not already a "lazy" trait?

Did you mean that about my 'Dependant' trait suggestion? I didn't mean it in that way. It does sound lazy, but I was thinking more along the lines of someone who considers themself helpless and doesn't think they could do those things on their own... Or a sim who is ACTUALLY helpless and can't take care of themself.

I never claimed to be a pro at making up traits! :P

...and you know, if that wasn't directed at me then just totally disregard this comment lol

[coltraz]

Yeah, it wasn't. I just always thought there was a lazy trait and I didn't see one in the list above.

[higgins534_SC]

Extremely obedient: sims are easily taken advantaged of because they are so obedient and will listen to every command by anybody



Pushover might be a better name for it?

[coltraz]

Homophobic: sims of this characteristic will start hating every interaction that includes two sims of the same sex (this may also raise the ESRB rating

Who would want to make a homophobic Sim? :(
Maybe there should also be a Racist trait, and both of these are a part of the "Bigot Expansion Pack". lol

[sisvl_SC]

If they have a pets expansion, would the pets have traits? It seems stupid to still have the slider when the sims have lost it.

[crocobaura]

It would make sense to give them traits. But I'd love it if they make it so they display proper aminal behaviour. Like cats are able to climb fences and trees, and dogs can bark at and chase burglars and attackers off your lot. It may not make sense for chihuahuas but bigger breeds should be able to do that.

[higgins534_SC]

If they have a pets expansion, would the pets have traits? It seems stupid to still have the slider when the sims have lost it.

I suppose so:

Playful
Naughty
Cuddly
Lazy
Hypo
Brave
Coward
Clever
Stupid
Shy
Outgoing
Obedient
Disobedient
Slob
Neatfreak

That's all the one's I could think of that could be applied to cats/dogs.

[Gazelove_SC]

I have to agree on the dense trait, I love people like that, they're entertaining. :3
Feminine and Masculine would be really nice too.
lol @ bigot expansion pack.

[LethalLaurie]

We must pay homage to TS2! A...Grilled Cheese Lover trait! XD

[Crazetex]

Yes. I definitely hope that Grilled Cheese will make a rebound.

*Conjures grilled cheese snack

[LethalLaurie]

Remember that cardboard cutout of a grilled cheese the Sim would pull out when their Aspiration was really low? So funny--almost makes you want to torture your Sims into depression. ;)

And wow...it's really actually hard to think of many new traits to add...I think I have one and then I check the list and it turns out to be synonymous with something already there.

[Homo Electus]

Pessimist: Negative moodlets have less effect, and broken promises aren't as devastating. (because they're expecting bad things to happen, mind).
Optimist: Positive moodlets have greater effect, and kept promises have greater effect.

I know someone already posted those two, but I think my versions make more sense. I'd almost want to make positive moodlets for optimists less, but it's gotta be attractive to the player in some way.

[Arcadus_SC]

One-upper: Your sim wants to take other sims' (both good and bad) achievements and interactions to the next level.

i.e. One sim steals candy from a baby, your sim steals the baby from the candy.

Leader/Follower: I see this as a way to more easily appoint someone as head of the household. If we get influence back, someone who delegates tasks and favors a career in politics, law enforcement etc. A follower would be more subservient and do socially acceptable stuff, would favor group activities. Would be harder to get a promotion with, but can more easily gain career rewards for that level.

Good idea! However I think it should be the reversed: Optimistic Sims receive less of a penalty for negative moodlets, and Pessimistic Sims receive less of a bonus from Positive moodlets. The reasoning is that an optimistic Sim, for example, copes with negative things better because they believe it will turn out good in the end anyway...so therefore any negative things that happens effect them less. I wasn't aware that promises were penalized if broken?

Bahaha, steal the baby from the candy? ROFL! Is that a typo? If not, that;'s hilarious. Imagine that.

Not sure if Leader/Follower would work?

Ooh what about a Sleazy trait? With it's opposing trait being Conservative? Sleazy Sims are more likely to accept romantic interactions, but are less successful at getting other Sims to accept their romantic advancements. They also check Sims out more often, and have some special romantic interactions (such as...dare I say it...grope? Or maybe, 'lingering hug'? etc.) Conservative Sims are not likely to accept romantic interactions, especially in public, and get a negative moodlet if seen naked by others or if seen in their swimmers/pajamas by Sims they aren't in love with. They also have special interactions, such as 'Secret Kiss' (The Sims looks if anyone is watching and then lightly peck the Sim on the lips, using their hand to cover like they are telling a secret), 'Modesty Slap' (A Slap used when Sims are doing romantic interactions in front of them, the Sims gains relationship points from this but the Sim who receives the slap loses them) etc.

[beatnikbunny]

i.e. One sim steals candy from a baby, your sim steals the baby from the candy.


I would use that way too much just to watch it :)

I was think a Collector trait: sim must collect all of something... bugs? I dont know how it could work but it might be interesting.

[LethalLaurie]

Oh, oh! There's gonna be pets in the game, right?

Allergic to Pets: Sim will be highly reluctant to visit another Sim who owns a pet. Does not perform social interactions with animals. Does not like to talk about them. If absolutely forced to be around a pet, their moods drop a little and they have a greater chance of becoming sick.

On the reverse side:

Pet Lover: Absolutely adores pets. Always wants to have them around, always willing to initiate an interaction with them, loves to talk about them to other Sims. If they visit someone with a pet, their moods get a small boost and they're easier to interact with. :)

EDIT: Whoops, just checked back and saw someone else already mentioned a pet-related trait on the first page. :err:

[Captain THPS4]

Whenever weather and seasons are brought back there could be some new ones:

Loves thunderstorms: Whenever a thunderstorm happens, sims with these traits get a boost in their fun meter. They will get really excited and watch from the window, or if combined with the insane trait they will actually go outside and run around regardless of the risk of being struck by lightning.

Loves snow: Sims with these traits will get a very positive moodlet whenever a big snowfall comes and will always want to be the first to make snowmen and snow angels. Perfect for neighborhoods that are mostly winter.

Hates cold: Sims with these traits will have a bigger mood drop whenever they get the "it's cold" moodlet, and a similar moodlet would happen whenever they get out of the pool. Warm weather will boost their mood a little.

Also, if apartments are brought back there can be a claustrophobic trait.

[SilentPsycho]

Hates cold: Sims with these traits will have a bigger mood drop whenever they get the "it's cold" moodlet, and a similar moodlet would happen whenever they get out of the pool. Warm weather will boost their mood a little.



There could also be stuff like,

"Hates Heat" - prefers it when when it's cold, has a negative moodlet when it's warm.

'Hates Thunderstorms' - Opposite of your description. Sims will try to hide whenever there's a thunderstorm occuring.

'Loves/Hates Rain' - Likes/Dislikes rain. Gets Happy/Depressed when it rain.

'Likes/Dislikes Wind' - You don't really need me to describe this by now, do you? :)

[gelis]

Haha, such a great trait ideas here. I would love to have Hypochondriac sims.

I would like to have

Healthy nut - loves jogging, yoga.. don't want to eat junk food, salad makes them very happy etc.
Philosopher - loves to think, always confusing other sims with their thoughts
Perved - :D
Anti-perved (what would be the word for that?) - something close to Miss Crumblebottom

[fairycake89]

I think the trait for the anti-perved could be Straight Laced - as in *uptight*

Personally I'd like *weak stomach* - lots of throwing up and nervous farting :P

[riruchan]

Some of these - likes cats, likes dogs, likes rain, etc. - I think would be more suited to the favorites tab with food/color/music. Add a dislikes tab as well, and you have some pretty interesting possibilities for actions (covering ears when a disliked music style is on, negative moodlet after being made to eat broccoli, things like that).

[tizerist]

> Never uses mobile phone
> Never uses vehicles

For me, these are the two most important ones.
Its the only feasible way (that I can think of) that allows us to make towns in any time period.

[SpookyOkyBatGirl]

I want a "Nudist" trait: They have Never Nude after all! :P

I'd also think it'd be interesting to see a "Hyperactive" trait, where the Sims are always ready to GO, don't get tired as quickly and always has a desire to do stuff.

[barrowsx]

I believe EA intended for there to be a trait in the base game, called "Nude", but they removed it due to fear about getting a higher rating (like in the ESRB, it would go from T to M)

[CinderEmma]

At one point, I THOUGHT I saw a stupid trait in the game, but I never saw it again 0_o I really would like that trait, I'm tired of having all genius families!

[gelis]

ebec17, you probably had awesome mod at some point because that mod adds the stupid trait.

Yes, the Nudist trait would be awesome.

[USNCaseySmith]

I think the closest we have to a Stupid trait is the Absent-Minded trait. The description for that trait is that they'll often forget what they're doing and may easily wander off. Not necessarily dumb, but it's kinda close.

Uhhh. I have a stupid trait in my game, I have the BG patched all the way and I have it. Its a picture of a guy wearing a dunce cap.

Whoops, nevermind read the post right before mine after I posted

[PhenethyaSim]

At one point, I THOUGHT I saw a stupid trait in the game, but I never saw it again 0_o I really would like that trait, I'm tired of having all genius families!
Yes the stupid trait If i'm not mistaken the mod is Awesomemod I can't live without it even if I almost never use it.

I think I there are simply too many traits I would want I think the more traits avilible the better I just want to make more of a variety of sims. Also the traits need to be practical to use. I would be happy with any traits that fit the criteria.

[Robodl95]

WE NEED A SPIRITUAL TRAIT! It would be a fun trait and there's no alternative in the game. They would be interested in ghosts and all different creatures, and they would have an easier time becoming friends with creatures.

[gelis]

Yes, spiritual sounds good.

I also would love to have curious trait. Curious sims would be asking questions and always cramming their hands in weird places just to find if there were something. They would love to be in catacombs etc. and sometimes they would get in trouble or just having a nasty surprise. But those kind of things would not stop them.

Stubborn sims might be interesting too.

[brillo_pad]

WE NEED A SPIRITUAL TRAIT! It would be a fun trait and there's no alternative in the game. They would be interested in ghosts and all different creatures, and they would have an easier time becoming friends with creatures.

That sounds more like superstitious than spiritual to me, and so you could also have the opposite.. a rational trait - that'd be sims who can't see ghosts or don't believe that vampires are what they are etc. (I think someone's already said this, sorry.)

But spiritual sounds like it'd be a sort of combination of good, loves the outdoors, maybe family oriented.. idk.

I'd really love a nonchalant/apathetic trait as a balance to excitable, grumpy, hot-head, over-emotional.. Would be pretty boring to play, but it'd be a nice filler trait. Maybe if they called it "Cool" so like everything would be OK for them.

A wanna-be trait would be nice, with actions like being able to dress-up and pretend, stalk celebrities and vampires and whatever else comes.

[SuicidiaParasidia]

i want something of an "insomniac" trait, where the sim doesnt really need to sleep, and/or only needs to sleep for 3-4hrs before theyre ready to be up for a long while again. seems like my sims waste so much productive time on just...laying there. and me, on waiting for them to get up again.

and i may or may not be an insomniac in the real world *cough* so its a bit also on the realistic side to include it. maybe an "opposite" trait, too, like "sleepyhead"? :P
i know of some people who can sleep, and WILL sleep, forever...if you let them be.

[J. M. Pescado]

i want something of an "insomniac" trait, where the sim doesnt really need to sleep, and/or only needs to sleep for 3-4hrs before theyre ready to be up for a long while again.That trait sort of already exists in the game, as an earned reward trait.

[ani_]

I would love to have a chocoholic trait. Where the sim would want to eat a desert, even thou they shouldn't.

[Bchbch Walk]

Shopoholic trait! They buy buy buy everything in sight.
Nectar Fanatic! The sims love all Nectar, making nectar, and especially drinking nectar.

[brillo_pad]

Procrastinator trait... kind of like absent-minded, but instead of removing the action from their queue and forgetting about it they just put other things in front of the action (if work or stress based) that are procrastinat-y things like "Watch TV" "play computer games" "read book" "daydream" etc.

Some sort of all-rounder trait (for annoying sims, clearly) that would include athletic, genius, virtuoso, charismatic, but obviously not quite matching the ability of sims that have that stand-alone trait.

[DigiBlue]

How about "Over Eater"? The sim would constantly want to snack on food. They would constantly get wishes to "Eat Chips" or "Eat Ice Cream"..
I also really want a Nerd/Geeky trait. Maybe they would play more video games & use the computer more often.. And if I am REALLY wishing they could ad in a table top game like Dungeons & Dragons... (Tombs & Llamas?)

[SuicidiaParasidia]

That trait sort of already exists in the game, as an earned reward trait.

meditative sleep and insomnia are not quite on the same level.

[brillo_pad]

Ignorant (with a dash of prejudice) - That'd give actions like "accuse of being self-righteous" to police officers and politicians or sims with the good or genius traits, "accuse of being evil" to vampires and whatever other evil kind of occult comes in the future, "Blag about..." something they don't know to impress someone.. yanno.

[fairycake89]

After a lot of thought - I have finally decided that we need Liars. Sims who lie like cheap wristwatches! Sims who lie about their career, (flirt: I'm A firefighter!, when they really work at the diner) they should lie about their relationships, their favourite colours, everything. Maybe Liars is too strong, Delusional might be better ...

Ooh I agree - they could even be prejudice against certain hair colour or people in certain careers.

I love this idea!
Liar/delusional sims seem like alot of fun to play.

Personally, I'd really like to see a stubborn trait.
Why? Well partly because I'm stubborn myself but also because sims are unrealistically forgiving of other sims who have upset them and even cheated on them! :rolleyes:
Stubborn sims would be much harder to win round once upset and would find it hard to apologize themselves or accept other sims apologies.
Ok, so it isn't a major trait but sims are far too wishy-washy for my liking. I want to see them have stronger opinions/feelings, not just a negative moodlet that's gone the next day.

[itsamariokart]

I agree with the shy trait. I'm shy but I wouldn't call myself a "loner" I don't like being on my own I just sometimes find it hard to talk to new people.

[Claire the Bear]

I agree with the shy trait. I'm shy but I wouldn't call myself a "loner" I don't like being on my own I just sometimes find it hard to talk to new people.
There is a shy trait that comes with the Late Night expansion however it's really badly done in my opinion. It mainly involves a negative moodlet from being around acquaintances/strangers and a positive moodlet from being around friends. But it doest really have much of an impact otherwise.
One example is my supposedly shy sim who has five romantic interests, all of whom she actually approached herself! And she has publically woohooed with two of them (but when it comes to the thought of skinny dipping, she's horrified :rolleyes:). She even gets the 'shy' moodlet from the mail girl delivering her paper...yet she regularly rolls wants to 'meet someone new' and befriend people etc.
As a shy person myself I really don't find the shy trait to be very realistic, unless maybe combined with loner and unflirty traits but if you do that then you're sims going to be pretty pathetic and lonely... :wtf:

Maybe your sim is only shy around girls? ;) lol!

But I have to agree, I am a solitary soul myself and can't really relate to the Sims version of 'shy'.

[Claire the Bear]

Maybe your sim is only shy around girls? ;) lol!

But I have to agree, I am a solitary soul myself and can't really relate to the Sims version of 'shy'.

Ahaha! This is quite possible...
She's so busy moving onto her next romantic conquest that she doesn't have one single female friend. Well apart from her daughter who she's best friends with. That's pretty pathetic really isn't it? :lol:
But yes, the Shy trait is a good idea but one that's been badly implemented.

[emilyhwithlove]

I think that we should have a cocky trait - where the Sim thinks they're amazing and nobody else is as amazing as them :)

[Armandeus]

Sorry to resurrect this thread from the dead, but...

Have any modders added any of these traits to the game?

[nikel23]

We already had one necro'ed thread about trait (http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?goto=lastpost&t=350480), why bother resurrecting another? Pescado did (http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=376561), but making one would be really handful and require a core mod. It's nearly impossible for casual modders.

[rkalanu]

I don't know. A long while back I experimented with making a "glutton" trait. Really all I did was edit ITUNs on the buffet table, the fridge, the diner and so on that looked for the hidden pizza lover trait... it seemed to work ok. Simple trait tweaks like that would work without core mods.

[Ladyhawke976]

I love the Spiritual idea.

I also would love to see a Faithful trait. It differs from the Spiritual trait in the aspect it essentially revolves around your relationship and relationship only. No matter how hard other people try to flirt with you, you back them off.

You are a devoted spouse and speak about your husband/wife a lot and will never succumb to the flirtations of others.

I know you get the Eternally Faithful buff for a while when you get older with your spouse and haven't cheated, but I was looking for something from the get go. It would be cute if Buster and Bessie Clavell had this, they're so adorable, but my one sim managed to break them up in seconds - as he wound up doing with every married sim in the game.

What? I was bored.

As it is, given enough time you can flirt and sleep with anyone in the game - married or not. It would just be nice to see and have some stability built in.

[Deathflower]

A 'Woohoo Mad' trait would be interesting.
