What's your favorite trait to give as a personality flaw?
So you want a sim to have a flaw in their personality. What trait do you choose and why?
Forum Discussion
These are both fun and insightful to read :)
@Simmingal I forgot Paranoid since I don't have that pack. I see how it could be negative.
@bshag4lv I guess it depends on how you play the Recycle Disciple. I don't like how they swipe things autonomously if they haven't recycled in a while. It's a lot like kleptomaniac in that way.
I chose Jealous since it makes a sim feel flawed in a way you can't look past in gameplay. It really made an impression on me when in my game Akira and Miko were together in my game, Akira caught Miko flirting with someone else, came at her and hit her in the face. It ended up being a big plot point. Even now that he's married to a wife who is a much better partner for him, there are still issues, like they can't hang out with friends as a couple because Akira blows up. On the other hand he's the only sim who has ever expressed to a spouse that the amount of time they spend on childcare makes him miss the spouse. Which is real, and actually kind of sweet.
I feel like it's easy to look past some of the "flaw" traits like Evil and Mean in gameplay, but there's no getting around the Jealous reactions unless you mod them out or something.
@Babykittyjade Goodness, I wonder what it was like before the nerf.
