Mooch

Mooch is a social trait and a hidden skill in The Sims 3. Moochers can mooch food and money from their neighbors who for the most part just go along with it.

Attributes

 * A Sim with mooch trait can mooch cash and food directly off other Sims.
 * When visiting other Sims' lots, the Sim can mooch food from the host's fridge!
 * Some Sims may not respond well to the Sim's mooching. Acquaintances will state refusal, while a Sim that particularly dislikes the mooch will glare back at them angrily.
 * It is more difficult for Sims to mooch off a Sim with the Frugal trait.

Unlocked interactions

 * Mooching Sims can "Mooch Food" from neighbors' fridges.
 * Can "Mooch Food" from other Sims at any level of Mooch skill. Provides the mooch a quick meal on the go. This interaction will often succeed unless the mooch has a poor relationship with the target.
 * Can "Mooch Small Amount Of Money" if Mooch skill is at level 6 or less.
 * Can "Mooch Large Amount Of Money" at any level of Mooch skill.
 * Sims with a very high Mooch skill of level 7 or more can "Mooch Absurd Amount Of Money", which can provide a huge amount of money if the interaction succeeds.

Player Notes

 * The amount of money that the player mooch and if the Sim's mooching is successful or not depends on many factors. For example, having a high relationship with the target Sim will usually increase the chance of a mooching being successful, and it may also increase the amount of money that the Sim gets.
 * Mooches are more likely to autonomously dumpster dive.
 * Mooches strongly benefit from undertaking a Business major while studying at college.


 * Success rate and mooch magnitude depends on:

- The household funds of the mooch.

- The relationship score the mooch has on the other Sim.

- The mooching Sim's independent skill. This is levelled up as the Sim mooches and mooches.
