Shy



Shy is a social trait that appeared in The Sims 3: Late Night and The Sims 3 for Nintendo DS. It conflicts with the Flirty, Party Animal, and Social Butterfly trait from The Sims 3: Showtime.

The Sims 3: Late Night
The trait first appeared in The Sims 3: Late Night, and is similar to a removed trait called shy, which was merged with the Loner trait. Its existence was confirmed during a Grant Rodiek Twitter session regarding the new expansion pack.

The Sims 3 (Nintendo DS)
The Shy trait re-appeared in The Sims 3 for Nintendo DS. It conflicts with the Outgoing trait.

''Shy Sims do not appreciate the romantic advances of others and will be difficult to woo. It's not that they don't want to love, just that it's difficult for them.''

This Shy trait is more similar to Unflirty from The Sims 3, rather than its counterpart, also called shy.
