Dream Traits

[lea_hazel]

I've been thinking of traits I wish there were in TS3. Some of them are little, weird ones, like "Anti-Angler" (or somesuch). If you can have Can't Stand Art, who hates it when people talk about art, and Vegetarian, who throws up when they eat meat, then you can have a fish-hating sim. I think Nocturnal/Diurnal would be fun, too.

The trait I'd most like is Shy. They originally rejected it based on it being too close to Loner, but the way I see it, it should be totally different. Shy sims would hate being around strangers, but would get a mood boost from being around close friends. They'd have a harder time making new friends, but the friends they did make would last. Instead of rolling wishes to socialize with people they just met, they'd want to talk to their closest friends, and do things like call them up autonomously.

A "night owl" trait would be so great. They could get a negative moodlet from getting up early.

I'm really excited about the new traits mentioned for Ambitions. The World Adventures traits are really only useful for one thing each - travelling and martial arts - I'm hoping the Ambitions traits will have more of an effect on day-to-day life. I'm especially curious how the "eco-friendly" trait is going to work. (I'm just really excited for Ambitions, okay, I NEED IT NOW. :D)

I am super excited for Ambitions. At a glance, I thought the new traits would only be relevant for new skills/careers, although I'm not totally sure what each one means.

Eccentric sounds like it might overlap with some of the existing traits, and will probably contribute to the inventing skill. I have no idea what Savvy might mean.

I wonder what Eccentric will be like. It does sound like it would overlap with Insane/Inappropriate a fair bit, but I'm eager to be proven wrong.

Isn't Savvy supposed to be the trait linked to inventing?

[lea_hazel]

I'm not sure, I haven't read anything about it and I'm only speculating. Eccentric just struck me as an apt descriptor for an inventor character. Maybe they both contribute, like how Artistic also helps writers and musicians.

We'll know in about a month! :D

Ooh, yeah!

A night owl trait would be FANTASTIC. That really would kick ass.

I sort of want a Macgyver trait, some sort of enterprising/street smarts trait, but I suppose "Savvy" might end up being like what I want.

It would be nice to have "Geeky" or "Nerdy", or their opposites, "Too Cool For School"!
