Why good sims autonomously troll forums?

I hate the fact that sims..especially good sims keep trolling forums on the computer, it's really annoying as it happen constantly when they're free..

It should happen exclusively to evil, mean or maybe playful sims but why good sims do it? This has been happening since the game launched and EA hasn't done anything?

    If traits don't mean anything, then how do you explain that active Sims want to constantly work out? Or that foodie Sims eat all the time and watch cooking TV? There are no moods or moodlets involved in these cases.

    Please, don't make it seem worse than it is. I do agree, however, that if a Sim already has developed a skill, they are more prone to using/further develop it. That is likely the case with the mischief skill and trolling the forums.

    Active and foodie/glutton are one of the few traits that actually do waaay more than just give you a moodlet. Makes you wish other traits were this engaging. Seriously if you ever had a glutton sim you would know how many pizzas they go through when pregnant.

    I believe you are referring to narcissism. A typical good person wouldn't feel the need to go around and tell people about how morally upstanding they are.

    I feel like they're more referring to self-righteous people, trust me those can be annoying with their nagging.
    Oh Vampiris you shouldn't take that person's chips even if they did try to take yours, it's not right
    Oh Vampiris you shouldn't scare people, it's mean
    Oh Vampiris you shouldn't try to launch people into the sun, it's rude

    Bleh, bunch of fun ruiners

    Narcissism is close, but self-righteous is definitely the word I am looking for. When a person acts self-righteous and 'holier than thou,' they are likely either misguided or faking it to enhance their own image. When I saw the 'Good' trait in the game, I was expecting it as being neither of the two.
  • Actually I don't think trolling the forums has to be an evil thing. In real life, trolling a forum could just mean visiting to get connected in some way to the community of whatever the forum is about.
  • Perhaps the Good trait is similar to the "Nice" guy in real life that is anything but nice and the game is lampooning this in a subtle way.
