Default New Trait ideas/suggestiona
This is just for a bit of fun. But I think it would be good to have a few more traits etc.

One I would love, as there are people I know who are like this:

Caffine junky - If there is a possible source of caffine nearby your sim will bee line for it. Always carries their energy pills to pop. - If energy gets to halfway has a 5% of crashing without caffination! they also shake a lot....

Insomnia - Your sim has trouble sleeping. But has learned to cope with less sleep. Spends 20% less time to recover energy but can only sleep for a maximum of X hours (not decided)

Busybody - Your sims is far busier getting the gossip and pointing out faults in others than they are in developing relationships. (not fully developed)

Any other ideas?

The insomnia sounds a lot more like a lifetime gift - is it just me or do the sims lack energy?

Clown - Your sim is the life of the party, never tells a bad joke and laughs at other sims misfortunes, your sim doesnt take life seriously and laughs at inappropriate times

Totally agreed. Must be one of the first hacks to be made. Sims Sleep Less or something.

Whenever an expansion that has pets (that's considering they do release one and I figure they will) they should have something like a crazy cat lazy or just animal obsessed would work. o.o

But for the time being with the current base game my suggestions are the following:
Gothic (This would work well for my teen sims lol)
Farmer
Hillbilly

I like the insomniac idea, it would fit many of us well! lol.

I can't think of anymore. I'm tired.


Btw, I don't expect all my ideas to be something implemented into the retail game just something someone could eventually create for us who want as much diversity as possible and realism if this is even possible.
(I know nothing about programming so I have no idea what is possible and what isn't.)

Also, please don't get upset if any of these are already in game. I don't remember EVERY one that is in game. Feel free to tell me about them though of course!

It is just for fun really. But I really hope we get more traits added with the various expansions.

Part of me wonders what the first expansion will include!

Me to, but I know somehow along the lines there would be nightlife inspired expansion LOL

My Main concern is ironing out the annoyances I want that to be sorted more than an expansion coming out

I'm really interested to see the new traits that will likely come with expansion packs. So far I'm really happy with the ones in the game.

I can't even think of a trait I'd like to have that's not there! Caffeine junky is a cute one, but imagine how much they'd have to go pee! LOL

First, just wanted to point out this thread, since it's basically the same.

Also, I think some additional moodlets would be really cool. I bought some new clothes the other day and was walking around town in them feeling cool, and then I realised if you give a Sim new clothes, they should get a "New Clothes!" mood boost.

Agreed! They get a "New Stuff" moodlet after all.

-Shopaholic
- Braindead (to counter genius)
- nosey (good for law enforcement sims or self declaired busybodies)
- natural leader (sims flock to you, follow requests)

just off the top of my head. Also daredevil needs a 'Streaking' function.

-Annoying
they should make one that talks alot and gets on people's nerves. they should also make a Hippy trait - that would be good for my hippy character. the hippy trait would probably make them do yoga alot randomly or something and they would hate loud music.

I thought hippies were all about rock 'n roll.
