Is High Maintenance right for you/your Sim?
I was always too worried that it would not be worth having a High Maintenance Sim (for fear of constant cardiac arrest alone). And I found online explanations on how to maintain on the vague side.
From what it looks like if you plan on making an ideal lifestyle for a Sim, and you plan to be very Wellness lifestyle motivated, this just is how to add challenge. Balancing the moodlets, as sometimes overpowering positive moodlets happens when you spoil your Sim with perfect surroundings, easy lifestyle, and other easy positive moodlet traits (and reward traits!).
Also you could plan on doing the Spa Day Aspirations, and eventually loading up the reward trait bonuses (such as Carefree (never tense (2 negative moodlets for this trait eliminated)), traits that reduce motives that could result in negative moodlets, etc.). But it is higher maintenance than romantic satisfaction and Lifestyles combined, unless you load up on reward traits, and extra positive moodlets (with jewelry, objects, etc.).
Now I know how this works better, I might plan on making a Sim to try this trait :)
