What's your favorite trait to give as a personality flaw?

Does paranoid count as a flaw :lol: I just love how they're all jumpy cause mood tbh

I also like all the other ones
tbh I hardly ever give my sim positive traits if i can think of even one negative trait to add i will makes them more interesting

some i use less though like kleptomaniac because i play multiple households and its like idk if they will steal stuff while I'm not playing them

and also maybe mean because I find it strange to be mean for no particular reason unless you are well, evil which is another trait i use tons of so i often just end up clicking evil instead of mean strangely

that said I play premades most of the time so i don't really get these traits often without my own input i kinda wish they'd make more problematic characters

I'm so bored of the cheerful creatives that I have started to interpret cheerful as creepy instead like in that "just a cheerful gal next door do not worry about those alarming smiles out of situation or talk about mother

well it might just be me being very gloomy myself so i find cheerfulness little strange at times too :lol:

Following this with much interest. I don’t find evil does that much, I quite like non committal. Haven’t yet played hates children because goes against my own RL values and lifestyle too much (I’m a teacher…). I enjoyed my high maintenance (while they lasted, serial restarter here). That may be my favourite.

I like all of them, but I randomize the traits. Sometimes they don't get any "bad" traits and sometimes they get many.

So far, I've used clumsy and erratic. Childish is another one I use. A good character requires a bad trait, but it doesn't have to be irredeemable. Just something they may have to overcome. Basically, a flaw.

Or rather, it USED to be Mean. In the patch where they "improved" traits, both Mean and Goofball got overtuned to a comical degree, so I replaced these with nice ones. That still leaves me free to play my sims as mean as I want, just the game isn't allowed to anymore. Encountering the former troublemakers at venues isn't the same anymore, but it's better than a mean sim with absolutely no situational awareness.

I use active and neat occasionally as flaws. I encourage my sims to be active and to keep their homes clean, but I will have some of them go overboard. I use them as that sim's OCD. Noncommittal is the only trait on that list I use and I only use it on one or two sims that I rarely play. My real world life is full of people I can't get away from that pull from a lot of the traits on that list. I don't want reminders of them in my escapism. They are what I'm trying to escape from.?

Klepto is the most fun. In previous Sims games, after you stole something you could click it and send it back where you got it. You might also find something in your inventory and have no idea where you got it, then find it labeled "Jupiter Belle's teddy bear" or something. Whoops.

If they aren’t meant to be deviant or evil, I use Snob, Childish or Erratic to give them some character.

It "use" to be jealous before it got nerfed ????
Now that it does nothing I still select it just for old time memories sake.
I try ti use a variety of all the negatives for most sims so it's hard to choose. Paranoid, mean, evil and high mantainence are some of my favorites though.

Erratic is my favorite, though, to be honest I don ‘t find it to be a flaw at all. I had never used it much but a while back, the sim I was playing with hooked up with a librarian from Windenburg who had the trait and she was SO endearing and fun that it’s my new favorite trait. But since I don’t really see it as a flaw, I guess I should have said Jealous.
