I haven't actually taken a look to see if they had just changed the name of the trait, or if they had changed the way sims with that trait behave in the game. It's likely that they have just changed the name since it would be far more easier to that instead of changing the way sims with that trait behave.

I hope your right

I don't really understand what the problem is. All they've done is change the name to something a little more sensitive, and suddenly humour's dead? I just find it kind of ironic that when something like this happens, people complain about how the world's too sensitive, too PC, nothing is allowed to be funny anymore etc etc, and yet you're the one offended because they've changed the name from insane to eccentric?

I can't really prove that I'm right right now, but I'm pretty certain that I am.

your allowed to feel however you want I'm not here to tell you how you should feel I'm just saying how I feel

Being insane (bipolar) It never bothered me. But I can see some with mental illness and the groups supporting education in the area getting upset.
There's still a long way to go in education of those that dont suffer or aren't effected by someone with a mental illness, the word insane hasn't been used seance the 80's.
Mental Illness btw is no joking mater, meany die everyday from one or the other of them.

(double post)

Am I the only one who never associated the word "insane" with a mental illness? If the trait would have been called "bipolar" for example, I would understand this, but insane doesn't say anything about a mental illness, and I've never seen it like this.

Fair enough, and I'm not trying to say that people should be upset or offended by the word insane necessarily, I just don't understand how people can be offended by it being changed in the patch, that's all. Seems to me it's either something you're happy about, or indifferent to, I don't really see how it can be a negative thing or make you feel bad.
