If in real life if you could choose to freeze one of the six basic needs your average sim has to manage, which one would you choose? I realize that Carefree does not freeze a sim's fun need, but there isn't a reward trait that does apparently, so I made do.

Never Weary, definitely. While I've always been an "I'll sleep when I'm dead" type, chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia have made it so that I'm always weary, so I sleep a LOT.

If I never had to stop what I was doing to use the bathroom again, I'd be so happy. I like to eat, sleep, have fun, and socialize with people I love, but I don't get many thrills from relieving my bladder every few hours. Hygiene is a close second, but showers can be enjoyable.

Argument could be made for "never hungry" since it would be most cost efficient but I enjoy delicious food and feel like the delight would be lost if I'd never feel hungry. It's quite satisfying to enjoy a good meal when you're hungry.Never having to sleep could be pretty productive as well but I actually like sleeping and enjoy my sleepy evening/morning routines. Plus I feel like I'd get bored with my life if I couldn't shut my brain off for a while cuz there's not that many things I can do during those hours (except be gaming all night I guess). Never having to use the bathroom though... that would make so many things so much simpler. Never having to face the stress of suddenly needing to use the bathroom and having none nearby or get grossed out because the only one available is some badly managed public one.

I shower daily but only because I have to. I don't like small enclosed spaces. Especially when the water is running and you can't hear anything.

This was an easy one for me. All the other things are actually pleasurable to take care of. A good night's sleep on a good mattress, with high quality sheets? Heaven. Good food? Certainly wouldn't want to give that up. Fun and social? I want more of those in my life, not less. Hygiene: definitely love those long soaks in the tub, or a destressing shower, with fancy bath products; if I picked Forever Fresh, I'd never get to shop at Lush again, and that would be just tragic. But never having to go to the toilet again? Sign me up.

Which needs based reward trait would you choose for yourself?

Never Weary not even a question I hate sleeping such a waste of time.

I personally like having a break from life and going into my own world, being forever awake would be torture for me lol

You just made me think about how much I enjoy my dreams at times. I often have dreams where I can fly or float in the sky…..and other interesting dreams…… so you have helped me make a decision…

I am borderline insomniac and hate forcing myself to sleep, so it would be great to not have to do it anymore.

Showering is such a waste of time. How ironic I sweat like crazy all the time no matter the weather.

If I don't have to sleep, or very rarely, I can make sure I have fun and have time to use the bathroom, eat, socialise etc

I do extended fasting for spiritual self growth and physical health. How nice it would be never to fight against hunger ? but then again I guess that would defeat the purpose since learning only happens through contrast.

It is always fresh for me, I would have gone for sleep but I enjoy sleeping a lot. Feeling clean sounds way better for me, not having to take a shower every morning would be spectacular.

Been so long I've had any energy I definitely pick this one. I can meditate if I want to pause from life. And I love my showers the more water the better. My walk takes me past an unused swimming pool, really annoys me. Ha ha

It'd remove a big excuse for procrastinating.

Holy... I'll be darned if even the most boring tasks were not so dull. I wo be able to get so much done, I could probably manage a super stressful job... Life would be good!
