Do you usually change the traits of the premade sims if there is one you cannot handle?

I've been playing with Medina family. Palmira loooooves to do 'preside over royal court' on ANY chairs. She does it so often. I understand it from excitable trait. But once she starts, I need to cancel that a couple of times, otherwise, she won't stop it. Looks like she does it 6-7 times a day on weekends. I had a look the info about Palmira on sims wiki. Excitable trait was set since she was a toddler with insane trait. If you were in my shoe, what would you do? I'd like to change her trait to other one if it was the one she randomly got while aging up to child, but I'm not comfortable to change the trait she already had from the beginning.

    @izecson Good combination of traits but I couldn't endure that royal court thing, I removed excitable and changed her trait to heavy sleeper. She has never performed royal court thing any more. It was like a magic. :D But now she is playing with this toy very often. I don't know why..

    Now this is her new hobby, instead of that royal court thing. I have another kid,Diego, Rubisel's son. He got the couch potato since he was born in the Scott family house. Now he always watches TV stuck on sofa, Palmira always rides on a bee spring horse. They rarely play together. :( I wish they will be the best friend each other but don't seem to be.


    @Jeansoo Yeah pretty much, those combination of traits is due to her difficult upbringing except the snob which she got from enrolling at Smuggsworth Prep School. Palmira in my game usually always keep begging another sims to compliment her thanks to her Diva trait, I think the traits work just as fine but i noticed that lifestyle trait tend to be stronger in term of autonomous interactions, couch potato is not an exception to this. my Palmira and her brother Santiago always play together, maybe it's because Santiago has Friendly trait.


    Ahh I can give Diego a friendly trait later on and see what will happen. I'm planning to send Palmira to boarding school too. :D Hope she will get the good traits after graduation. By the way, do Santiago and Palmira have the same mother?

    Nope they're half-sibling but Santiago got most of his look from Teodor, I don't know whether Snob is considered good or bad trait, but I got that trait for her from the very expensive boarding school. This is how they look in my game

  • I usually do for the more... Useless traits. Something like never-nude is always the first to go. It's just so unnessecary I can usually find something else to swap it out with. Or generally if I begin to help out a premade with the loser trait I eventually drop it so they're not getting kicked while they're down by the game.

    Otherwise I usually like to keep premades how they were when it comes to traits or they're not really themselves after a certain point.

    Is the first one Palmira and the 2nd one is Santiago? I thought Palmira and Teodore. :D Thanks. I have no clue what to do with Rubisel family and Teodore family. I'm playing 2 families under ONE roof. If I let Teodor split out of Rebisel and purchase a new luxury house, then I will start having 2-3 secs lagging from Rubisel's houseboat. If I abandon the houseboat, then Rubisel will be sad of missing his houseboat as he has sailor trait. I'm not a big fan of gay playing but it will be the best for me to control both of them together. I'm still thinking about their relationship. They are now best friends each other but.. well I actually don't know what to do with their future life. I have another wish that Rubisel's son can fall in love with Palmira. Then Teodore and Rubisel should have remained as friends. I can wait until they age up to teen. :)

    @Sorak4 Ahh..in my case, nevernude trait was very useful for removing mosaic before I started using No mosaic mod. :D But now yea I don't use that trait any more. I welcome unlucky trait but I don't like loser trait. I would change that too. :) Thank you. I can give Palmira useful traits when she ages up.

Also they tend to have more unique career situations about how unlucky they are.

    You can use the NRaas Retuner mod to stop sims from doing certain things autonomously, like that "royal court" thing. :)

    NRaas --> Retuner --> General --> By Object --> Chair Dining --> BeKingOrQueenForADay --> Allow Autonomous (It's set to 'True', so just click on it and it will be set to 'False'.

    Same with BeKingOrQueenForADayWhileSitting.

    I really recommend the Retuner mod. Last week my sims were obsessed with pillow fights so I set Autonomous to False in Retuner, Social Interactions. They can still pillow fight, but only when I want them to. :sunglasses:

    Yes, the second is Santiago, well you can make rubisel choose another houseboat though so it's a win win situation, I never actually like loser trait before until I decided to play it, it makes the sims much more interesting like they get more potent moodlet by winning the game and more unique wish like "Win the game for once" lol, same moodlet as any other Sims but with different name and description. Also they tend to have more unique career situations about how unlucky they are.


    What I meant was I would get 2-3 secs lags back while leaving Rubisel inactive in his houseboat. Rubisel was one of the main stuck sims by overwatch while I was studying what caused the lag in Isla. So I'm considering that I let Rubisel make a lot of money first, then get the 2nd home in land, then let him live at the 2nd home so that he won't go to his houseboat while activating Teodore after splitting them up. But actually, I want them to be together. :D:D:D These 2 sims are my best sims in Isla Paradiso.

    @Cororon Thanks. Actually I got tons of recommendation for retuner and tried, but I have poor eyesight.. the letters were very small for me, and there were tons of interaction lists. I can't manage that.

    Oh, the dilemma! lol. I was also in the same position as you back when I had specific sims in my mind to be partnered with my sims Felipe Jr, but he wished to be with someone else(e.g wish to kiss random sims) instead lol. I always let my sims make their own decision unless they haven't made up their mind who they want to be with that's where I usually pick one for them.
  • I keep the traits. I do tweak their looks a bit though. EA made some very questionable choices with some sims
