Neurotic

Neurotic is a mental trait in The Sims 3. ''Neurotic Sims will freak out at the most minor of provocations. They can become stressed easily and can be difficult to mellow. Luckily they take solace in sharing their worries with others.''

Attributes

 * Sim often can't quite get a grip on life...
 * You can click on your Sim to get a "Freak Out" interaction. Other Sims will be disturbed, but your Sim will become Tranquil.
 * It takes awhile for your Sim to de-stress, but your Sims can "Share Worries" with other Sims to help relax.
 * Your Sim won't get sad or angry, just stressed out!

Unlocked interactions

 * Can "Talk About Conspiracies" with other Sims.

Player notes

 * Sometimes, after interacting with certain objects, the Sim might get a "Feeling Anxious About Object" moodlet. This goes away after a few hours but it can be alleviated immediately by Checking the object, which gives a "Feeling Calm" moodlet.
 * They often obsess over their hygiene. They often desire to make their beds, clean dishes, bathe, and even wash their hands or brush their teeth repeatedly a number of times.
 * Neurotic children constantly change positions and move in their sleep. These actions do not affect how much rest they get, though.
 * Sims will show OCD-like behaviour, such as constantly checking stoves, sinks, and fireplaces. Together with the Neat and Perfectionist traits, a Sim could mimic a real life person with OCD, as obsession over cleanliness is a common symptom in the disorder. Neurotic Sims have special wishes like "Wash Hands 3 Times".
 * Neurotic Sims get stressed faster while working.
