I've been reading about the new high maintenance trait that was introduced in the Spa Day refresh update and it seems to be a complex and challenging yet fun trait! I've read that they can get irritated because of the sun, get uncomfortable because they accidentally drank pool water when swimming, and will get very angry if their nails wear off.I haven't got the chance to play with the trait further, so for those who do, any other features about this trait that you've discovered? Or are there any positive features that actually benefits your sim with this trait?

No, if they hate the sun they don't get sunburnt because they don't stay long enough in the sun. ?

Reading this thread, High Maintenance is going on my pile of "traits I will never give my sims because I don't want to kill them off in a fit of rage!" Reading over the moodlet list is like reliving my relationship with the worst ex-girlfriend I ever had. :D

I'm happy to hear this trait is actually challenging. I'm looking forward to adding it to my snob sims to make them the ultimate divas :D
(BTW @abidoang I love your videos).

Finally a bit of challenge, a trait that adds characteristics that make sense and individualizes the sim, and is a step away from the happy happy joy joy easy peasy rainbows ? and unicorns ? that are the Sims 4 hallmark.
