I like this trait and play it often. I have legacy families that inherit a trait from their parents, and it's one I always pass along. It creates the opportunity to make your sim's life quite chaotic, especially with the hot headed or mean trait combined with it.
My sim was tense from not being around her boyfriend. Her neighbor started making noise and my sim becomes angry (doesn't have hothead or mean trait, but jealousy/ambitious/creative) and ends up pounding on the door, insulting the neighbor, and (with a little nudge from me) got in a fight and became enemies with her neighbor which was actually a whim. Playing with the Jealousy trait open up so much mischievous ways to play that usually don't occur to me.
The jealousy trait makes your sim very insecure, making them vulnerable to negative moods, which really opens up my gameplay. I love this family because it forces me to play out of my comfort zone and get my sims into sticky situations. I tend to play "perfect world" too much and many of these situations I've never tried, either. Next goal is try to cheat on a jealous sim, and see how that plays out. My poor sims, lol...
My Clemson-Frampton household is just that. Al is has the creative/jealous/ambitious combination, and it does get interesting like when he randomly slaps his wife for talking with friends, or catches her flirting, at my insistence, with another sim. The situation got worse after the last time which came down to a divorce, but as time went on the feelings were forgotten and they eloped and are back together again until next time...
