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 one should be for toddlers - germ carrier.
Habours all sorts of illnesses in their little bodies - colds, coughs, pink eye... you name and happily goes around distributing germs to unsuspecting adults.

(Been sick since Christmas eve with a cold and now a cough caught from my little nephew who has no qualms sneezing and coughing in people's faces.)

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.

I so love this one. Like, if it's not good enough for you, why should it be okay for me?!? And then, they're the first one to complain your home is too full of stuff before bringing you more. They also genuily like ugly sweaters. At least, it is what they say when they give you one!

These are two that I'm surprised we didn't get with the holiday update:

Festive: This sim is all about holiday's. They want to decorate, sing carols, cook meals, and have friends and family over to enjoy everything with. They get powerful moodlets when completing any holiday interactions, and negative moodlets when they don't get to celebrate. I know sims kind of already get the moodlets, I just wish there was an actual trait that you could give them, instead of having every sim act this way.

Grinch: This sim HATES the holiday season. They get negative moodlets on holidays. They enjoy sabotaging decorations. The refuse to sing carols. They do not enjoy receiving gifts. They are just total grinches.

Blarney: This sim will talk excessively and make bad puns until others pass out of boredom.
Bubbly: This sim loves the bubble blower a little too much. They'll take breaks during dates, holidays, and other social events just to get a taste of it.
