ℹ️ About Grouch trait

Hi,

Grouch Trait unlocks a few of new interactions :

  • Played Sim : Emit Grouch Aura (Other sims will run away from this sim during 3h)
  • Social interaction : Mischief > Spread gossip about ...
  • Computer : Web > Research Pranks

 

It seems that "Be Grouchy" moodlet also allows to sabotage food, object and plant.

  • Would have been nice to get an actual grouch trait, this is just stuff that could be put in the mean spirited trait. 

    A pity these reward traits are always so meaningless. The practice makes perfect trait is also such a whole lot of nothing.

      Aww...I could say this about the whole game. 

      At least EA is puttin' out new worlds...so many rivers to cross and I'm a patient gamer. 

      There better be some Big gameplay plans in the future. Traits vs Cars. The two can live together.

    I really like the grouchy aura, but honestly, the rest of the Grouch trait doesn't really make sense to me so I'm not sure yet if I'll use it. We already have Mean and Hotheaded as well as Goofy, which was changed to revel in pranks, which I found to be disappointing and a bit inaccurate. I just don't think of pranks when I hear "goofy" so I removed it from my Sims when it changed.  I also definitely don't think of pranks with Grouchy either. It just seems to me that the trait effects should have been put onto the existing traits we have to make them stand out more. I'm also just generally not a fan of pranks and practical jokes anyway, so I tend to use those types of traits sparingly because they get old and tiresome really quickly. 

    I think they were just going for a Grinch Trait for the holidays, so I see what they were doing, but it's so specific that I just don't see its long-term use. I could be wrong, though. Maybe I'll try it out one day.

      The traits need to be reworked along with everything else in the game. Not giving details because ya'll already know if you're playing the game today.
