Talk:Trait (The Sims 3)

"A Sim can acquire more traits also. In fact, they can acquire all traits that don't contradict each other."

So far I have seen nothing in-game that verifies this statement. --a_morris (talk) 18:18, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

I Would Think It Refers To Gaining Traits At Age Up, Just Written In A Confusing Manner. Either That Or To The Traits Like Firefighter And Such Adi Waco 17:35, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

Please change this statement:

"There are 63 traits in the base game. Three were added with The Sims 3: World Adventures and four were added with The Sims 3: Ambitions for a total of 70 traits."

There are more than four traits already introduced. Savvy, Eccentric, Dramatic, Environmentally Conscious, and Perceptive. and i think there are more to come... change it to something not definitive of the number of traits to come with ambitions... that's all...—Preceding unsigned comment added by The understudy (talk • contribs) - Sign your comments with ~~~~

Savvy?

All the interviews that have mentioned the so-called 'Savvy' trait have called it 'Savvy Sculptor', leading me to believe that that is the trait's actual name, not just 'Savvy'. The capitalisation of 'Sculptor' supports this theory.

Well...

How do you know if a sim has a hidden trait? UBFunkaneer 05:03, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

Mummy CUT??

I have a mod that makes all hidden traits chooseable, one of these traits is titled "Mummy CUT?" I will add this to the trait page.--Eduardog 3000 23:25, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

In that case, I'm going to be tagging those edits for confirmation, so that someone else can confirm the trait's existence. --LostInRiverview (talk)(blog) 23:27, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

Could it be the mod you're talking about, just lists 'Mummy' as a hidden trait for mummies? Duskey(talk)(blog) 23:40, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

No, here czech what the creator of the mod said about it: http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=343046 --Eduardog 3000 01:16, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

OMG, I just discovered something, my playable mummy automatically had "Mummy CUT??" added as a 6th trait.--Eduardog 3000 23:22, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

So I was right in saying all mummies have it? In that case I do not think it should be added to the traits page. Duskey(talk)(blog) 06:00, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

Well it is still a hidden trait, it is like saying since all french sims have the french culture trait then there is no point of putting that trait on the page.--Eduardog 3000 22:40, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

My point is that players already know their characters are a Mummy or a SimBot. With the other hidden traits, the player doesn't know until he performs an action related to the trait. The only reason YOU know these traits exist is because you're using a mod. Without the use of a mod, players would never find the mummy and SimBot traits, but they could easily come across the regular hidden traits. Duskey(talk)(blog) 01:16, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

My point is that they are still hidden traits.--Eduardog 3000 21:53, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

Let's not turn this into an edit war. Since we are the contributors to this discussion, perhaps we should invite the community to discuss the issue, but please be patient as discussions like this can often take a long time so that everyone gets to state their opinion and discuss with others. --Duskey^talk 09:58, September 12, 2010 (UTC)

Simbot Trait

The mod that shows the Mummy CUT?? trait also shows a simbot trait, can someone add that as a hidden trait under ambitions?--Eduardog 3000 22:52, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

Rich trait

What about the Rich trait? I've noticed from someone that came into my household, while talking to the child of the household, that the child has the "rich" trait. What does this mean?173.171.228.34 15:11, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

I think the message just states that the family or sim is rich, it's based on when the total items of the sim's home gets over a certain value. It is not a hidden trait, it is set per household. Duskey(talk) 15:24, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

total?

if you do everything possible to get more, what is the maximum amount you can have? --Death

Using mods, you can have infinite.--Eduardog 3000 01:22, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

You mean total traits? 5 normal traits when you hit young adult. I'm not sure if you can have multiple hidden traits. Duskey(talk) 15:07, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

I think no more than four (say a French Firefighter and Egyptian Burglar have a child). UBFunkaneer 16:36, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

5 if the child becomes a ghost or mummy. Duskey(talk) 20:05, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Mummy and Simbot Trait Icons

The "Mummy" and "Simbot" traits have icons, these are the best pictures I could get of the icons:

Mummy

Simbot

Are you certain they're not just placed there by the mod? Do you have a link to the mod? --Duskey^talk 01:03, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

No, the mod just shows all the traits, it did not add pictures to the trait (i.e. the pic was in the game files), also the apparent official in-game name of the mummy trait is "Mummy CUT??" (written exactly like that), the only mod being used here is the Master Controller (I think that is the right link)--Eduardog 3000 01:24, September 14, 2010 (UTC)
