Most of us have been forced gotten to spend time with our relatives this holiday season, and I was thinking it would be fun to suggest new traits based on some of our relatives' personalities, either positive or negative. I'll start:Constant Talker (negative trait)Sims who first meet them (and don't know) would go up and talk to them, but sims who know what they're in for could have an animation where they get a scared look on their face and then run to the other side of the room, LOL. Talking to them could put sims in a very bad mood, especially the longer they're stuck in the conversation.If you think about your relatives as sims, what is a trait they would have (that doesn't yet exist in the game)?

LoudThese sims enjoy being surrounded by their friends and family, and are always the life of the party. They love talking, and don't understand the concept of 'inside voice'. Loner Sims will get tense around them.

Let's see. Black Sheep. These sims are generally friendly but are socially awkward when it comes to interacting with friends and family. Enjoys the company but will typically not speak or socialize. Tenses up when surrounded by loud sims or large groups of sims. This would I guess be a negative trait technically haha. It mostly describes me and I know it would probably seem really close to loner but it's just a tad different. Like I don't mind the company I just get tired of socializing very easily and will kind of just stay quiet but I like having other people around if that makes sense. Haha!

Gossipy Hen or Loves the DramaSome sims just can't keep their nose out of someone else's business. They love to gossip about what they've seen and heard. Being around Tense or Mad sims makes them Happy, because now they have a story to tell. They get Bored when everyone around them is Happy, so they might sometimes feel the need to instigate conflict.Inspired by my 5-year-old niece trying to get her little sister in trouble.

DisorganisedThese sims tend to be quite disorganised, and sometimes leaves important items behind. They feel happy when they actually get their act together, and are saddened by losing an important item in the house.Inspired by my dad, who has a habit of taking his time in the bathroom when we really need to get a move on. He's also left stuff behind. We both have ADHD and Dyspraxia.

Control FreakSims with this trait always want to control what is going on. They will become tense when other sims are doing small tasks such as cooking, painting, or writing. They become happy when doing tasks on their own.Inspired by my grandma who just can't seem to relax and let us take care of things. Lol, I love her to death though.

New Trait Suggestions Based on Your Relatives

Mooch
These sims always seem to be living at someone else's house, eating someone else's food, and bounce from job to job. Sims with this trait get on even the most generous of sims' nerves. They tend to get along best with Lazy and Slob sims. (Maybe these sims would naturally have the Always Welcome trait aspects?)

Tech-Obsessed, these sims are so addicted to their technology that they are always using their devices (cellphone, tablet) no matter what else they are actively engaged in. At the dinner table, while socializing, while watching TV, even on the pooper...they always are also reaching for their phone or tablet.

Personally I think this should come with a relationship hit, because having someone always staring at their phone or tablet when you are talking to them makes me want to punch them in the face....and I'm normally a very calm person.

I know this is similar to what we already have with one of the fame quirks, but it ought to be a trait where the sim autonomously starts using their device(s) through multi-tasking, no matter what other actions they are taking. Cause ...that's my brother. I don't even think he can help himself.

Man you guys hit most of them and your holidays sound stressful, lol.

Snack Master: this sim feeds everyone who walks into their home, and their food is often very comforting. It's a way for them to show their love, and helps their relationships with other sims. Sometimes the Snack Master may push too many snacks on a non-hungry sim, making that sim a bit annoyed, but the relationship won't take a hit: sims know it's all from a place of love. (Inspired by both my grandmas, who did everything they could to cram as many cookies as possible into my hands this Christmas, and any other snacks they have when I visit)

Parental Guilt trait- do I really need to describe this one? Can make you angry, sad, or embarrassed and possibly all 3 at the same time.

This thread is hilarious, good job everyone.

This trait is based on myself (don't really like parties):

Leaves early
The party just started, it's only 8, or 9, or 10, the night is young, but that Sim needs its beauty sleep/to put the kids to bed/to catch the last bus, etc.

Scatterbrained

We've had melodramatic and scatterbrained (I think it was called something else) in previous games, and they'd be good ones to bring back. Though, I think I never played the scatterbrained trait because they'd constantly drop things from their queue. I don't need a Sim deliberately doing that - they're scatterbrained enough as it is.

Ahahah, this one is great. It describes me too except for the very last sentence for me should read "..but that Sim needs to get home to play video games cause they are more interesting than this party." So sad...but true.
