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?
  • I almost always use Kleptomaniac plus I can use it to get revenge if anybody annoys me.

    Hmm perhaps a crime boss, @BlueR0se ? :)


    It's a family business. We deeply care and support one another. But everyone else? Well...
  • I like to use erratic and childish in combination (or sometimes with two sims in the same household). Back in Sims 3, I had a Sim I absolutely loved that had a similar combo (I don't remember if they were called the same thing), and I kept losing her and then finding her at 2 a.m. playing in the sprinklers in the backyard, so I have fondly frustrating memories with those traits.

    But after reading this thread, I'm feeling a bit inspired. Evil and family-oriented sound like a wonderful combination. Paranoid and high maintenance sound kind of cool, too, but they must come in packs that I don't have, unfortunately. I'm assuming paranoid would be Strangerville?

    Slob.
    My slob sims don’t complain about mess and they get to fulfill their hygiene and bladder needs in the shower. I would occasionally add a neat sim to the household -one that I don’t really control, but who cleans up after my sim. The Daily Maid service is great as well.

    I also use the klepto trait quite often. In Sims 3 most of my sims are kleptos because they’re able to steal expensive cars and sell them. There’s a couple o’ reasons I want cars in Sims 4. ?

    I would like to use the evil trait a lot more but that trait just ain’t evil enough for me…
  • The loner trait because it makes it harder to go out and socialize.

    @alanmichael1 you’re sim is really cute by the way. Would you mind marrying my sim please?

    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.



    Hi! The NAPS are easily controlled, I use the mailbox as soon as I move a sim in, then use the cheat to fill the spaces with what I want as naps. Works every time. :D

    @bshag4lv I don't mean the Sharing is Caring NAP, that's a different thing. I mean the Recycle Disciple trait. You know how if a sim with that trait hasn't recycled something in a while, they will autonomously steal something, even from their own home, and recycle it.
