Do Erratic Sims generally go around sans clothes??

Yes they are eccentric, they don't act like the sims that don't have that trait, I have a vampire that has the erratic trait, he went out in the thunderstorm to shower in the rain he got struck by lightning and he was quite happy about it lol I find the sims with this trait very fun to play, I love their madness

Erratic Sims Characteristics

Erratic (formerly known as Insane before patch 66) is a lifestyle trait in The Sims 4.

These Sims can Talk to themselves and have unpredictable Emotions.


Erratic Sims may get random emotions.

Erratic Sims will randomly hiss and do random movements when idle.

Erratic Sims can talk to and tell a story to themselves, which raises their social need.

Erratic Sims may talk to random objects.

Erratic Sims can flirt with self in a mirror for a flirty moodlet.

Erratic Sims may autonomously use mean socials regardless of mood or relationship.

NPC Sims with this trait can enter apartments without an invite.

Erratic Sims may take showers in the rain autonomously.

Erratic Sims will gain a happy moodlet when struck by lightning.

Erratic Sims can also smash dollhouses even when not currently angry.

Erratic Sims can "Share Conspiracy Theories" with other Sims. Sims with the Paranoid trait also share the same attribute (albeit under Friendly rather than Mischief).

Erratic Sims from non-active households will commonly appear in parks dressed in predefined clothings (paint-splattered white tank top, gray pants and black sneakers) and usually sleep on benches.

I’m not sure if this occurs more often with the erratic trait, but for a while I was seeing more of my sims randomly going streaking. I always wonder if there’s a mod involved, but can’t think of one that I’m using that would trigger that. It seems to have self corrected for the time being, though.

Quite confused here. I'm not at all used to erratic Sims.
My one is trying to go "Shower in the rain" and is wandering around her house without clothes! :s
Even telling her to put on the laundry and then climb into bed, did it all stark nakey.

Is this "normal" behavior for erratics?

I have an Erratic Sim in my game and she is often sans any clothing whatsoever. In fact, four-star celebrity she is, she prefers to shower totally naked out on the front porch for all to see. Face/palm. The mom in her needs to kick in at some point. She has three Teen sons a fourth son is still a Child for the time-being, but talk about the mental images being etched into their young minds? LOL I use the MCCC mod and simply make her change outfits when I catch her like this. Since this is the first time I've played an Erratic Sim, I, too, wonder if this is part of the Trait. Perhaps others who use this Trait will confirm the theory. At any rate, she keeps things lively in my game, that much is certain.

My erratic sim likes to do his banking in the buff, with only dangling, sparkly red earrings on. He also enjoys smashing doll houses. I find him lots of fun to play, because you just don't know what to expect.

This got a sim into trouble in my game once. I only rarely play with vampires, so when one spawned, I took his hissing for the Erratic idle. Not expecting anything bad, my sim grew closer and closer to him. Long story short, she later had two adorable vampire toddlers.

Yep. Gotta love em. They're predictably unpredictable! You can almost guarantee they'll do the things that make you shake your head and smile. Always been like that too! I remember my Sims 2 erratic sim would dance in the bathtub and play submarine in the empty tub like the kiddos did, then she'd dress in her formal wear and go weed the garden.

The naked and streaking is also common with the 'Free Love' thing from Eco Living.
