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.

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.

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.

Introverts need to recharge their batteries alone. :) Extroverts thrive with other people and recharge their batteries in group.

Sniping Mother-In-Law:

Pretends like she's sweet to everyone else but always throws subtle insults at her son-in-law or daughter-in-law. Just being in her presence can make these people tense and/or angry. Her leaving the house gives them a happy moodlet.

Bestower of Random Crud

This Sim, usually an extended family member, shows up at your house...uninvited...offering you something of theirs that they can't or don't use anymore. "I was clearing out the attic and found this old chair. It just needs a bit of new upholstery here and there, and one of the legs is missing but I thought you could use it. Is that the time, I must go....". Your Sim is left with a hideous or useless bit of furniture.

'Blonde' (sorry)/clueless ... everyone has that friend that you tell them something and they have no clue what you are talking about.

How do you keep a blonde busy?
Write “flip” on both sides of a sheet of paper.

Not scatterbrained ... but slow.

You tell them to water the garden and they water the plastic plants. You tell them their husband is having an affair, they reply ... oh, yes he watches current events. I could go on but I think you get the picture ... (and for you blondes, I did not actually post a picture ... LOL).

The Procrastinator
- someone who can be relied upon to be at least an hour late at every function
- someone who gets his very own personal invite with the time set an hour earlier to ensure he arrives within a reasonable time
- someone who procrastinated so much, he once gathered discarded gift wraps to wrap his presents ...but at least he didn't forget them!

The One-Upper/Expert

This Sim will always interrupt another Sim telling a story of their accomplishments to share how they did the exact same thing already, only better. Sometimes will wait patiently, nodding and mumuring, "Mmhm, Mmhmm, I see, nice" and then immediately tell you how you should've done it or the 'right' way to do it in their opinion but shared as a fact. Any Sims interacting with this Sim will start to feel tense, annoyed and/or inferior and tend to avoid their presence when possible. Or if unable to remove themselves from the conversation will just smile as the Expert is imparting their wisdom while secretly thinking about painful ways to eliminate them. (inspired by my DIL's Father)

That one is my sister-in-law to a T! We always tell her that family gatherings start an hour or even two hours before they actually do start for just this reason! She is always late and always has a 'good' excuse in her opinion as to why. *rolls eyes* Oh well... I love her, but it gets annoying sometimes. lol
