:To make it clear, Poetry (and maybe Horror as well) writing genre is added in Patch 38, but it cannot be written unless you have ''[[Supernatural]]''. So technically, it, along with Horror, is a new genre from ''Supernatural'', rather than the patch.

::Confirmed. Poetry is a new genre of Writing skill. A Sim must get level 7 of the skill.<div style="width:7em; height:2em; border:2.5px solid #36CF38; background-color: #66FF99; text-align:center">[[File:Animated sims plumbbob.gif|10px]][[User:ThomasWikia|TWikia]] <sub><small>[[User talk:ThomasWikia|Talkie]]</small></sub>[[File:Animated sims plumbbob.gif|10px]]</div>13:08, September 18, 2012 (UTC)
::As I stated before, I have Pets and Nightlife installed only. I DO NOT own supernatural and my sims can write poetry books. I do have the latest patch, though.[[Special:Contributions/173.168.227.36|173.168.227.36]] ([[User talk:173.168.227.36|talk]]) 20:49, September 19, 2012 (UTC) Also, just noticed that Horror is also an available genre for me.

:::Yes, those genres are added with the latest patch, Patch 38, even if you don't own ''Supernatural''. But I heard people said ''Supernatural'' is still required to write those genres properly though. Can you actually finish a book of those genres?

:::::Actually, no. When I start trying to write it, the sim gets teleported a few feet away from the computer, but the writing animation shows up on the computer for a little while after.

::::::Well, then... Patch did include them, but people still require ''Supernatural'' to write them... *Shrugs* Weird EA... :/ [[User:Nikel23|'''<span style="color:#007FFF; text-shadow: #ACE5EE 0 4px 4px;">Nikel</span>''']] [[User talk:Nikel23|<span style="color: #30D5C8 ; text-shadow: #00FFEF 0 4px 4px;"><sub>''Talk''</sub></span>]] <sub>–</sub> [[The Sims Wiki:Featured Media/Voting|<span style="color:red ; text-shadow:#E97451 0 4px 4px;"><sub>''Vote!''</sub></span>]] 12:33, September 21, 2012 (UTC)
==Bonus trait==
Recently, [[User:Sims2fan1998|Sims2fan1998]] and I had another edit warring in this page regarding the bonus traits for several genres. I added the Loser trait as a bonus trait to the Humor genre and Rebellious to the Satire genre, but Sims2fan1998 removed Rebellious and changed Loser to Good Sense of Humor. While it does make sense that Good Sense of Humor trait is a bonus trait for Humor genre instead of Loser, that's not how the game works. The game doesn't use common sense to work; it uses codes that are written in the game. And what I wrote there is what's written in the game code.
[[File:GetTraitBonus for Humor.png|thumb|300px]]
As you can see on the right, it is the code that presents which bonus traits certain genres have. I marked the Humor genre in red square. Only Loser, Inappropriate, and Mean Spirited counts; Good Sense of Humor doesn't count. Each bonus trait a Sim possesses, they get an extra 25% for the book's royalty, so possessing these 3 traits will give +75% bonus royalty. Having the Good Sense of Humor trait only helps Sims to write the genre with less Writing skill, but it doesn't grant the royalty bonus. So even though Good Sense of Humor trait is helpful, putting it under "Bonus Traits" column is also incorrect, since the context of benefit is different.
Sims2fan1998 also changed the Writing skill requirement for Sims with Good Sense of Humor trait on Humor genre to 3. The correct level, according to the XML file, is 2.
So, here, I explained my reasoning of undoing here. I hope it's clear enough.
