I try for the speed reader one first then savant. Speed reader allows my Sim to completely read the first part of a book without getting up. It gets the aspiration goal read 3 books done faster to bank some quick aspiration points. Some other ones I go for depending on my story that I am playing include gym rat, always welcome and observant. Stoves and grills master and incredibly friendly are really good ones also. Artsy Sims need creative visionary and marketable. I try not to get money tree because then I want to cheat and get more seeds. For me once my Sim is rich I get bored and move on to other Sim. If my Sim is going to have a job I get the connections trait before the job. It starts them out at level 3 in any job. Just depends on the story.
