So if your goal is to build a relationship (or destroy it), to fulfill a wish, to complete an opportunity, or simply to satisfy your own curiosity, then you need to figure out which traits the other Sim has.

“Complain about Dirty Dishes” wouldn’t get much of a warm reception from a Sim with the “Slob” trait, but would definitely score points from a Sim with the “Neat” trait. For example, a social interaction of “Enthuse about Books” will generate more positive relationship growth when done with a Sim who has the “Bookworm” trait than it would with one that does not. įor the player who must interact with them, other Sims’ traits mostly serve to help or hinder the development of the relationship between the two Sims. For players wanting a more in-depth look at traits in The Sims 3, I recommend the Sims Wiki (/wiki/Trait_(The_Sims_3)). The player always has the option of shoving their Virtuoso Sim into a greasy-spoon cook’s career, but most of the other Sims have careers and interests that match their traits. This is especially true for Sims other than the player’s. With “University Life” installed it is possible to have a maximum of seven: one additional trait for gaining a degree and one for Sims who gain Level 8 influence with one of the social groups (Nerds, Rebels or Jocks).įor the Sims who have them, traits can make life easier or more difficult, make them more or less adept at certain tasks, cause them to perform (or not) certain actions, and often determine their careers. Young Adult, Adult, and Elder Sims have five traits Teens (and some older NPCs) have four Children have three Babies and Toddlers have two. Traits are the dimensions of a Sim’s personality.
