What are the Best Hidden Traits?
What do you think are the best hidden traits in Sims 3? Are they worth the effort of marrying NPCs or better to focus on Rich sims instead? Do Hidden Traits get passed on from generation to generation permanently?

My favourites are:
Pyromaniac: Setting fires are boring, but you can transform Apples into Flame Fruit.

Makes no Messes: Since they removed the Cleaning skill, this once seems like a good time-saver.

Can Apprehand Burglar: This would be useful if I had ever seen a Burglar in Sims 3. (I actually downloaded a Mod to increase my chances but my Sims are never asleep at the same time.)

These are hidden traits: http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Hidden_trait

I'm not really fan of hidden traits. Only base game hidden traits have special / unique benefits. The other hidden traits, like Fairy, Junior Mascot, or Asian Culture have benefits you'd expect to have anyway when you earn them (by becoming a fairy or mascot for example). In that case, I like Pyromaniac.

I can't say that any of the ones I used are all that great... I gave my male Sim, who was also Brave, the Can Apprehend Burglar trait. I got a Burglar... and he did nothing. Oh, he fought the Burglar, but he couldn't actually apprehend him or anything like that. Waste of a Trait Slot... ditto on Makes No Messes, the Sim I gave it to still made some messes...

What does the rocker hidden trait do? I mean, what even happens with the children?

Immune to Fire, Pyromaniac, Can Apprehend Burglar, and Rocker are my favorite ones.

I like giving my Asian Sims the Asian Culture trait just so I can see them sue chopsticks.
Didn't know Pyromaniacs can turn apples into flame fruits!

EDIT: XD Dang typos. Meant "use," but for the sake of the reply below me, I'll keep it there.

Those poor chopsticks! There's not even any lawyers in the Sims to represent anybody.

Yea, what does Rocker do? The Sims wiki just says it gives a natural feeling of rock stardom, but what does that mean?

I don't think it actually does a Goddamn thing.

My Rocker sim got the -other- song you can randomly get at level 10 after learning the rest, rather than the one everybody else got.

I googled it and apparently the only thing it actually does is that a sim with the rocker trait can play air guitar.
That's it I guess.

Now air guitar is another one of these things that are still completely unclear. It's a hidden skill but I have never seen it in action at any time. Nevertheless a lot of EA pre-mades in various worlds have high skill levels in air guitar.
But I think what Rocker does is that Sims with that trait react more noisily in front of the stadium or theatre when there's a rock concert going on inside. I still may have imagined it but I got the impression that my Rocker Sims acted a bit more like Party Animals when it comes to music related idles.
