I thought this would be an interesting discussion. I only have the Base game, Ambitions and Generations, so I don't have the entire array of possibilities to choose from. I have been trying to figure out what I would be, though. I think definitely Loner & Artistic. Probably Couch Potato lol. Unlucky, for sure... And perhaps Perceptive.

Loner (definitely) (I'm an introvert by nature)
Photographic Eye (naturally, I see a camera, I want to pick it up...and that's why I went into freelance photography)
Couch Potato (Yeah, conflicts with my "Likes the Outdoors" - generally a good night's sleep helps with that)
Insane (Yeah my mind generally tends to take a walk off the map occasionally - @Featherbelle may have a different opinion of the word (occasionally) and my sense of humor reflects that)
Likes the Outdoors (me: alone in the wilderness...armed with a camera, tripod and a long-lens; is there anything more heavenly than that?)
Didn't go to University so sorry "no extra traits for me"
Always "River McIrish" ...and maybe some Bebe Hart. ~innocent expression~

Great kisser
Charismatic
Athletic
Genius
Also bonus trait: delusional
I'm awful at describing myself, but you coukd probably peg me down as Neurotic, Socially awkward, Friendly, Bookworm and Light sleeper.

I may even go so far as to potentially get a Sigma 300-800mm f/5.6
One of my shots from the 600mm.
It's all timing.

Most entry level cameras are rated for about 15000 shutter clicks before the shutter needs a tune-up - trust me, it's cheaper to just get a new camera at that point. Try to find one that's in around the 4000 shutter clicks or less range. The trick is that most people like to get cameras and it's just a tool to take "family photos" and well, because they have money to burn, they buy a cool looking DSLR and use it on AUTO mode. That's the kind of camera that you want to pick up...because of the low amount of shutter clicks. Don't buy one from a photo-afficionado...we abuse the hell out of the thing because we're always shooting photos...and you'll be able to tell who is a photo afficionado because their shutter clicks will be high on the camera. My D300s is roughly averaging around the 45,000 click range now. My D300s is a semi-pro camera so it's rated up to 150,000 shutter clicks.
Just in my area alone, I found a whole listing for a Nikon D3200 with 18-55mm lens for $380.00 CDN.

If I went to university, I could also add delusional to mine too.
The thing is that we probably all hit more than five traits.
Neurotic,
Socially Awkward,
Bookworm
All those would fit me too. Hence the reason why my idea of a fun day is alone in the woods traipsing around with my camera in my hand.

@igazor, Wow...I'm suitably appreciative of that honorary degree. Now what to pick...lots of choices.

It would also explain certain explosions and meteor strikes that seem to keep happening for no apparent reason in your neck of the woods.

Family Oriented - family has always been important to me and, if I'd known how wonderful motherhood was, I would never have waited until I was in my forties to start one. Until then I was happy being the maiden aunt
Bookworm - Maybe not so much these days because I spend so much time simming but books are always in my shopping trolley and get pulled out on the bus or train unless overridden by my next trait
Friendly - I'm the kind of old lady that strikes up conversations with strangers on public transit or the checkout when shopping.
Good sense of humour - My son insists I have none but I suspect this is because I have an Australian sense of humour while his is definitely American because his father was American and he was raised there until we moved back to Australia a few years ago or it could be that kids never think their parents are funny (or fun)
Natural Cook - I love to cook but I suspect this could be because I love to eat which is odd really given I eat like a bird but I do love the little I do eat
Couch Potato - Obvious by how much time I spend sitting in my recliner playing Sims or on the forum
If I could have another trait I would probably choose Neurotic. I won't go into details but it's pretty apparent to anyone who knows me.

Grumpy
Mean Spirited
Evil
Dislikes Children

Hates Everything (Uni trait)
Igazor, you aren't any of these things. And that last one isn't even a real trait.
Catch me before my first cup of coffee in the morning and you might think otherwise. The sweetness and light stuff kick in just a bit later.

From the traits I can remember off the top of my head...
Hopeless Romantic - Always have been, always will be. I can't get over the mushy stuff!
Friendly - I love being friendly and was always taught to be.
Good - I try to give service to others and do good in the world when I can.
Neat - I don't like clutter...or crumbs on the carpet...or wrinkles on a freshly made bed. And don't get me started on toilets!
Artistic - I'm no artist, but I chose this for my writing abilities.
Virtuoso - I love to sing. I've played Clarinet in the past and am learning to play piano.
Animal Lover - Because I've just always loved animals.
I'm going to go by memory of the game traits (playing another game so not gonna open the game for the trait list) here which is going to narrow this down A LOT (I play so little these days I barely remember how to load the game... remembering that long list of traits not gonna happen).
Shy is pretty much an always trait. If not either loner or socially awkward. I'm really just not good in social situations and I really don't care to be anyway.
Clumsy pretty much an always trait, also. I can trip on air. I drop everything I touch (which is a constant source of anger for me, I can fall and hurt myself and not care, but drop something and I get so mad lol)
Artistic Another pretty much always trait. Not great at like painting and drawing, but I'm still a fairly creative person with hobbies like photography and writing (okay those are my life. Not just hobbies, how I would even breathe if I had to give either up I dunno. Good at them I dunno, but I love them anyway) and a bunch of other crafty hobbies. So I think it can capture those pretty well.
Over-emotional I used to pick excitable a lot, but more lean towards just over-emotional in general. Yes, I get excited easily, but I get sad and angry easily too.
and uhh...... wut r traits???? Maybe I should have opened my game, or googled a trait list. Uhhhh....uhhh....
Loves the outdoors. I think it fits my summer, I have always loved nature but I'm also lazy. But I've been trying to, and somewhat succeeding at getting out more often. Just getting off that beaten path away from annoying people, taking a camera or not but just hanging out in the parks and enjoying nature.

@dreamerz13, @MKSizzle, Thought you might like this: It's a funny little article by my friend Paul Burwell; (he's a well-known wildlife photographer in the biz) Top Ten Annoying Things to Say to a Wildlife Photographer. When I had my 600 f/4. I'd be walking through the park with the lens/tripod balanced over my shoulder and someone would invariably come up to me and go. "WOW... That must be expensive..." Yep...then I'd be chatting for 20-45 minutes about photography. I needed to nip that in the bud.
I'm currently shooting 720p video with the D300s, but the next step will be to 4K (for photography instructional videos - a basic "follow me into the wild" type video series...as I go out and photograph wildlife and landscapes.

@emorrill I almost put Virtuoso as well, but I didn't want to seem over-confident, ya know? LMAO. I also sing. I was 1st lead clarinet when I was in high school, also played the alto sax in the jazz band and I played piano.

A lot of us artistic types playing Sims, eh?
