'''Trait conflict''' describes a situation where a character (e.g. a [[Sim]], [[pet]], [[Plumbot]]) cannot have a particular [[trait]], because they already have another trait that conflicts with it. Traits that conflict are often considered "opposites" of each other, such as the [[Evil]] trait conflicting with the [[Good]] trait.

Trait conflict can also be used to describe a situation where two characters have traits that oppose one another. If one character exhibits actions or behaviors based on a conflicted trait, a character with an opposing trait may react negatively to it, harming the [[relationship]] between the two characters.

This article is about Simology.


Trait conflict describes a situation where a character (e.g. a Sim, pet, Plumbot) cannot have a particular trait, because they already have another trait that conflicts with it. Traits that conflict are often considered "opposites" of each other, such as the Evil trait conflicting with the Good trait.

Trait conflict can also be used to describe a situation where two characters have traits that oppose one another. If one character exhibits actions or behaviors based on a conflicted trait, a character with an opposing trait may react negatively to it, harming the relationship between the two characters.

The Sims 3

If an incompatible trait is learned, relationship will be decreased slightly. Using a social whose trait prevents the social from working, for example a joke about work on a Workaholic or "Talk about Computers" on a Technophobe, will learn the trait and may decrease the relationship if that trait has a conflict. Observant Lifetime Reward can cause conflicting traits to be learned when the Sim starts to socialize with that Sim. Vampires' ability to read mind makes them to learn conflicting traits faster.

If a Sim has more than one trait that both result in a conflict and share traits as well, both positive and negative interactions will occur.

List of trait conflicts in The Sims 3

Traits with no conflicts

Traits with 1 conflict

Traits with 2 conflicts

Traits with 3 conflicts

Traits with 4 conflicts

  • Coward (Brave, Daredevil, Natural Born Performer, Supernatural Fan)

The Sims Medieval

Relationship is no longer decreased when an incompatible trait is learned. In addition, learning the shared trait will no longer increase relationship. Social effectiveness from traits are same as The Sims 3.
