    Not directly...but I imagine a child with good emotional control can handle their angry moments much better.
  • It think it interacts, but doesn't completely negate. As @icmnfrsh said, good emotional control can help handle negative emotions, channeling them into doing other things and getting over them faster. On the other hand, I had a sim who's final trait when they aged up to adult was mean, but they'd already earned the empathetic trait. So basically, they want to be mean, they act mean, they enjoy being mean...but then they also feel really bad about it (embarrassed and tense). It's pretty hilarious.

    I hardly ever give my sims the mean trait, so I never really thought about how it could clash with the compassionate trait. It's hilarious that your sim can't make up their mind on being mean or not :D


    Haha--well, I use the legacy challenge trait generator. I'm not playing a legacy challenge, but I enjoy the unpredictability! Not to say I never cheat it but...it sure can make for some unexpected situations! :wink:
