Workaholic

Workaholic is a lifestyle trait from The Sims 3. It does not conflict with any trait. ''Workaholics love to work and rarely become stressed from working. Their mood suffers when they miss work, but they are able to make it up by working from home. Workaholics make the best employees.''

Effects
Sims get the Likes Work moodlet (+10 mood) when working and they work better in careers. If they quit work or simply fail to go to work or school, they will get Missing Work moodlet (-30 mood), which stays until the Sim goes to work or school (work area for Professions). It cannot be removed by the Moodlet Manager. The only career that is unaffected by Workaholic is Investigator. The only way to skip work without getting the moodlet is to "Take unpaid time off" using a phone.

Workaholics can "Check Up on Work" using their phone to discover that there's an issue at the office. They can then work out the issue at a computer, improving their job performance. They can also simply "Work at Home" from a computer. Sims do not get paid for any overtime work they do, however.

The "Joke about Work" social will fail, if it is used on a Workaholic. Other Sims are able to use the Mean social "Accuse of being a Workaholic", which is negative.

In the Architectural Designer profession, Workaholics will give bonuses for placing a quality desk in their remodel.
