[[File:Trait meanspirited.png|left]] '''Mean spirited''' is a social [[Trait (The Sims 3)|trait]] in ''[[The Sims 3]]''. It conflicts with the [[Friendly (trait)|Friendly]] trait, and is first available for [[child]]ren.
Line 12 ⟶ 13:
*Mean spirited Sims will autonomously use negative social interactions more often than other Sims.
*Mean spirited Sims will occasionally angrily mumble to themselves much like Grumpy Sims if left idle, or even scream in anger for no apparent reason.
*Mean spirited Sims are able to [[Computer#Functions in The Sims 3|troll]] on forums like [[Evil (The Sims 3)|evil]], [[grumpy]] or [[inappropriate]] Sims. Then, they may wait for a response from the forum users. Not being responded to on a forum will earn the Sim a negative moodlet.
*Mean spirited Sims will cheer on the [[Criminal#The Sims 3|Emperor of Evil]], unless they have the [[Good (The Sims 3)|Good]] or [[Family-oriented (The Sims 3)|Family-Oriented]] traits.
 
==Player notes==
*Provides a bonus to Sims writing in the [[Writing (The Sims 3)#Genres|humor genre]].
*Against some players' beliefs, the [[Good (The Sims 3)|Good]] and mean spirited traits do not conflict, therefore a Sim can have both of them, unless the [[Friendly (trait)|Friendly]] trait is also chosen.
**However, [[Bloodthirsty]] (''[[The Sims Medieval|Medieval's]]'' mean spirited version) conflicts with Good but not Friendly.
**A Mean spirited Sim who also has the Good trait has most Mean interactions locked from them, limiting their cruelty factor.
*Although many players believe that the [[Evil (The Sims 3)|Evil]] trait makes Sims the cruelest, Evil Sims can still have the Friendly trait, making the Evil Sim still polite to other Sims (even without the Friendly trait, Evil Sims are still not particularly bad-mannered in conversation). Mean spirited Sims, however, enjoy hurting the feelings of other Sims, unless they have the Good trait. However, Evil Sims like it when other Sims experience misfortune, which causes controversy among players about which trait makes the Sim cruelest. Combining the two (Mean spirited and Evil) will create a spiteful sadist.
*Mean spirited Sims actually get a mood bonus from making or being around enemies.
*Mean spirited Sims have a higher chance of winning fights unless they also have [[Loser]] trait.
*The "Fight" option under Fight menu will be replaced with "Beat Up".
*Mean spirited Sims have a high tendency to laugh at Sims experiencing misfortune, unless they also have the Good trait. Mean Sims are still shocked at nearby Sims dying though, unlike Evil Sims who will point and laugh.
*Mean spirited Sims dislike having the "Splash" interaction being used on them while in a pool, and will angrily splash back at the offending Sim, reducing the offending Sims' [[Fun]] need. They share this attribute with [[Grumpy]] and [[Hot-headed (The Sims 3)|Hot-Headed]] Sims.
*Mean spirited sims will autonomously "Shoo Off" [[cats]] sitting on furniture, even if the cat is asleep.
*Mean Spirited Sims tend to talk maliciously when gossiping about other Sims' misfortune around the neighborhood. They share this with [[Evil (The Sims 3)|Evil]] and [[Inappropriate]] Sims.
*Mean Spirited Sims will sometimes wish to insult teenagers that are earning good grades at school. They might even wish to insult their own teenage children; even if they have the [[Family-oriented (The Sims 3)|Family-Oriented]] trait.
*If a Mean Spirited Sim has had a mean interaction used on them, they will often wish to "Imply Mother is a Llama" or just generally insult the offending Sim back.
