A Game of Unfortunate Traits

Name a TS-Trait that you believe The Avatar above you have, but wish they didn’t sometimes... (It doesn’t need to be a negative one.)

It’s all about taking a closer look at what improved Traits with real game-impact/dire consequences once in awhile at least, could’ve contributed to gameplay-wise in TS4. A Beloved sim could unintentionally put more strain on their family members and friends when absent/away for a period of time for whatever reason. And a brave sim may take risks to save another sim’s life – but what would the consequences be for them and their close ones? (A brave police officer’s kid could perhaps worrying about their parent from time to time and so on.)

In short - In my opinion it’s a mystery why so many interesting gameplay-opportunities were left out completely in TS4. So! This forum-game plays around with all kind of imaginative scenarios – of course it’s not a bad thing to be Beloved – But since that particular sim is probably good at heart, they don’t mean to cause any grief by working long hours, a long way from home, 7 days a week - or whatever may be the case... Only you know! (:

Edited: To clarify things.

    Disciplined (because sometimes it’s nice to just relax and have fun instead of working day and night, right? ^^)

    Ooh I get the variety pack! Clockwise from the upper left corner:

    Psychic (sees all my dark secrets at a single glance!),
    Gloomy,
    Supercilious,
    Overconfident

    edited because I accidentally reversed the last two, on the first try.

    :D I would love to be able to set psychic as a trait! Those are great traits for all of them. If Norrell (top left) had mind reading powers, he would most definitely use them to his advantage. >:)


    For the sim in your avi: Uptight.

    Now if these are traits that exist already then Glutton. If it's one we can make up, then I'd say Always Nude
    Potential Is Everything

    Origin ID: BadArkane

    @WhatCobblers yeah, that expression and those clothes are pretty uptight-looking! I have to go get that particular save off my thumb drive and see how it plays now...it was hilarious and entertaining at the time, so many surprises. I sure wish I knew how to get that facial expression again somehow. It was so contextually relevant to the gameplay going on, and so much was happening autonomously. Must have been some mystical alchemy of all the autonomy and personality mods plus the Vampire Initiation Ritual mod.

    And sorry for making up traits. I didn't mean to stray from game traits. I can't even think of that many game traits, because they so seldom seem to matter anymore, being always eclipsed by the mood of the moment as driven by objects in the room, etc. Maybe it's better now with sentiments? Haven't played enough to see much happening with sentiments yet.


    So I'll try again, this time sticking only to traits I recall being game traits: Again from the upper left:

    Self-Assured, Creative, Neat, and Dance Machine.

    The top two actually do have those traits!

    @Nushnushganay yes that's why I love taking photos of Sims so much because every now and then you get a random moment that's comedy gold.

    I made up a trait for my last guess as well so no worries (I don't have all the packs so am not sure what all the traits are in each).

    Let's see... Kleptomaniac (I can envision him putting on a seemingly perfect front but having an unexpected secret).

    Well, flirting with other sims can be a slight problem when you're also fighting the urge to bite them and drink their plasma. :D
