Stolen Weekend Entertainment: Sims 3 edition

[cameoflage]

I happened to find the old DE I did with the Sims 2 aspirations, so I thought I'd bring you SON OF SIM DE.

The Sims 3 does things a bit differently. It gives you five traits -- for an adult Sim, with younger characters getting fewer traits, but I'm not enforcing that part very strictly -- to allocate how you please so long as they don't blatantly contradict each other. What traits would a Sim of your pup have? (Hidden traits are okay; I don't know if they take up a slot though.)

Oswin - Computer whiz, genius, unlucky, adventurous, flirty (+/- great kisser?)

Haymitch - Unlucky (times, like, infinity), can't stand art, grumpy, loner, ... and I'd add charismatic - when he wants to and has proper inspiration, he can talk people into knots.

And I gotta get going, I'll do the rest of mine later. :D

And the rest of them...

[gondolin_noble]

Second try, hopefully I don't close the tab when I'm almost done again... >.<

Ace: Pyromaniac, neurotic, lyncanthropy (or at least a variation there-of), brave, loves the heat

Glorfindel: Brave, athletic, loves the outdoors, perceptive, disciplined. (+ immune to fire? :D)

Katya: Witch (though she protests this terminology strongly), disciplined, outgoing, dog person, paranoid

Bones: Good sense of humor, grumpy, hot-headed, perceptive, perfectionist (+ supernatural fan)

Felix is... let me see if I remember what I've assigned his Sim versions... Loner, Family-Oriented, Good, Brave, and... possibly No Sense of Humor.

Fluttershy gets Equestrian Animal Lover, Shy, Coward... and maybe some combination of Virtuoso, Good, and Easily Impressed.

Kain... Loner, Light Sleeper, Brooding, Brave, and Unflirty, I think.

Tommy: handy, brave, flirty, hot-headed, and he'd like to think that he's immune to fire. Alternate traits would be grumpy, workaholic, daredevil, and possibly inappropriate, because that's kind of hilarious.

Lou: natural cook, slob, good sense of humor, easy-going, pizza-appreciator (because of course).

[not_my_sandbox]

I think I remember from previous conversations that children of firefighters have a chance of being fireproof.

The Sims being Lamarkian rather than Darwinian and all :p

[gavin62truck]

Ah, nice! So then he is fireproof after all, the smug bastard.

[cameoflage]

That part actually differs between games. Sims 3 is Lamarkian, Sims 2 is more on the Darwinian side. (Or Mendelian at least.) Sims 1, just for completeness, wasn't really sophisticated enough to do more than ensure the kid had the same skintone as one of their parents.

Sims 3 is the relevant game for this DE, though.

[thebesteverseen]

Edward Cullen - Family-Oriented, Vampire, Virtuoso, Bookworn, Brooding
Jean Grey - Brave, Family-Oriented, Nurturing, Star Quality, Mutant
Jo Havelle - Brave, Flirty, Rebellious, Out Going, Workaholic
Lady Marian - Brave, Rebellious, Good, Equestrian, Proper, Burglar
Peeta Mellark - Artistic, Natural Cook, Easy Going, Charismatic, Good
Snow White - Brave, Friendly, Good, Family-Oriented, Perceptive
Star - Excitable, Lucky, Good, Dreamer, Artistic

And, because it amuses me:

Steve McGarrett - Can Salute, Irresistible, Daredevil, Family-Oriented, Workaholic

(Also -- Athletic, Brave, Good, Stubborn, Disciplined, Adventurous, Rebellious, Insane, Handy, Paranoid, Outgoing, Easy Going, Neurotic, Loner, Brooding, Commitment Issues, Lucky, Mooch, Light Sleeper, Schmoozer, Good Sense of Humor, Can Apprehend Burglar, Loves the Outdoors, Ambitious, Vehicle Enthusiast, Neat, Eccentric, Frugal, Great kisser, Loves Water

But, then, the show constantly points out Steve is deeply unfair.)

[herr_bookman]

This game is quite a bit more complicated than the first one. I'd almost feel guilty setting these Sims on fire.

Megalomaniac, Bookworm, Perceptive, Excitable--and now I have to choose between Mean-Spirited and Inappropriate.

Possible hidden trait: Private Eye (because the ability to sneak around and bribe people for information is fun!)

[not_my_sandbox]

I think from what I remember when July was building a neighborhood full of pups and muns, hidden traits were sort of emergent properties and set by the game itself so... it doesn't take up a slot in the user selected traits?

Anyhow lets see if I can remember the version of Amascut that was running around in July's game. Or rather, versions. I think I remember Sumona and Jesmona both running about instead of just Amascut herself.

So, paranoid, mean-spirited, neurotic, athletic, and I think I made one sister flirty and the other hot-headed.

Evil Chicken is easily bored, inappropriate, a light sleeper, a megalomaniac, and... uh, a natural cook. When it comes to chicken. um.

Fairy Fixit would be a computer whiz if computers were a thing, handy, hyperactive, a conversationalist, and maybe a bit of a workaholic.

[saphyria]

Mine are all really easy to do with this.

Yrael: Virtuoso, Adventurous, Mooch, Hydrophobic, Rebellious

Sunshine: Natural Cook, Friendly, Born Salesman, Vegetarian, Bookworm

Zelgadiss: Adventurous, Grumpy, Hot-headed, Brave, Loner

[ceitfianna]

I went all the way down to the various add ons and this is tricky, also not surprisingly, a lot of my pups have certain traits in common. Most of them could easily have bookworm so I'm not putting it for all of them. Its hard to pick just five.

Will: Brave, athletic, loves the outdoors, flirty, hot headed
Charles: Perceptive or Vampire, not sure which one is more accurate for what he does, charismatic, nurturing, genius, disciplined
Jane: Bookworm, brave, witty, cultured, ambitious
William: Bookworm, brave, family oriented, hot headed
Sameth: Handy, athletic, socially awkward, gadget geek, friendly
Demeter: Loves the outdoors, flirty, family oriented, nurturing, eco-friendly
Moist: Burglar, Charismatic, flirty, coward, born salesperson
Tumnus: Bookworm, loves the outdoors, shy, good, friendly
The Pirate King: Charismatic, flirty, dramatic, athletic, adventurous

[inlovewithwords]

Henry is young and developing, so I'll give him three: Perceptive, Good, and Brave.

Lois gets Brave, Workaholic, Good Sense of Humor, Witty, Perceptive; also she goes into Journalism, so trait-learning bonus. Ambitious and Great Kisser are also in the running, and probably others. (There should be an anti-Natural Cook, because that's her.)

Tavi I figured I'd also do the Medieval traits. It's apt because, y'know, high fantasy hero.
Unique to Medieval: Dedicated, Eloquent; Puny Fatal Flaw replaced by Natural Leader Legendary Trait
Sims 3: Genius, Insane, Perceptive, Lucky, Charismatic;
and he'd get the Observant lifetime reward fairly quickly.
(Extra: Brave, Adventurous, Workaholic, Good, Disciplined, Ambitious, Scholarly)

Hidden traits don't take up a slot, you can only have one supernatural one. As of the new EP you can also earn a trait being a graduate and one reaching the top of a social group.

Otherwise I can't start doing this or I'll be here all night XD
