Umbrella owner trait

What determines which sims gets an umbrella and who doesn't?

Only a rare few of my households own the umbrella rack, but almost all my sims have umbrellas. I never paid attention, being under the impression that every sim by default got a black umbrella. But there seems to be a not so obvious mechanic, because yesterday I started a Rags to Riches challenge, and the challenge sim much to my glee never got an umbrella. He's getting wet and uncomfortable and it's fantastic. I'd like to keep him umbrella less until he can afford a rack.

    There definitely seems to be a hidden umbrella token that Sims you aren't playing get. I suppose it makes sense. It would be weird to go to a park and have every Sim just walking around getting soaked.

    This does remind me, I need to give my current Sim an umbrella rack. She keeps getting soaked coming home from school.
  • @EmmaVane Good to know! I'll do that with unwanted umbrellas in the future. Can I safely assume that umbrella stands on community lots will work for this purpose?
