any trait... any trait! 8) As long as there are traits and the Sims would be unique thanks to them, the gameplay would be awesome.
Too bad they took Vain out, cuz I wanted to make a pretty simmie that likes to admire herself. It was the first one I would have used.
In TS2 the only difference between Sims was that when they got shoved some fought back and some would start to cry. it was kinda funny to see a grown man cry over such an insignificant thing, tho.

I think natural cook will be one of my favourites, I hate it when Sims burn the house trying to cook dinner.

I think for fun I may make a town with kleptomaniac as everyone's trait to see who is better than others when its added with other traits. It would be like a contest. Like would an unlucky klepto not be as successful as an accomplished one? I would use it for fun stuff like that.

Well, a kleptomaniac is someone who is obsessed with stealing. I think regular sims should be able to have weak moments and sometimes steal things, but kleptos should be like the ones in real life, constantly stealing.
I think I will make plenty of sims I won't really play with the negative traits, just to make the gossip more interesting. It would be interesting to have a sim who is a cop arrest a sim I created. Oh well :/
But I will also make sims who have 4 great traits, and one bad one. Like on the outside they look perfect, but everyone has a dark spot and a few sims will have veryyy dark spots.
I think when I make sims to play, I will make all of them have 3 good traits, and two not so good. Not evil or klepto, that would be too much to keep up with on a regularly played family. But like, lazy or hot-headed or something.
I have a habit of making perfect and similar sims in TS2, just because nothing else seemed any fun. But in TS3, they are more like real people. And I want my sims to have a realistic mix of both positive and negative traits.
Like for myself, I haven't planned out my traits but procrastination has been something I've always done and it caused me a lot of stress in school and life in general. That's definitely one I will need to consider. Maybe perfectionist. That's not actually a good trait to have. It's another one that goes hand in hand with my procrastination. I spend so much time making one thing perfect that I scramble on the next thing or run out of time on the first thing. I am very neat though, but I like things to be clean, clutter I don't mind. So I may not end up picking that one. I may choose computer wiz, just because of all the women in my family, I am the only one not completely retarded with a computer, haha. But, I might save that for my boyfriend. I wish instead of technophobe, they had one that was just like someones not good with computers and cell phones and stuff. Like my mom. She's not afraid of it, just, sucky at it. They should make one called stoneage. Like my mom, stuck in the dark in the stone age about technology. Haha.
Anyways, long post. Just pondering. I don't want perfect sims, that is so TS2, hehe.

Yeah, I don't want perfect sims either.
I will still create sims with those traits I totally hate, but there won't be a lot. Probably 3 families with that klepto trait.
I'll use the other traits way more, but who wants people always stealing crap from the n-hood and your house? You have to think that they will marry and reproduce and their kids may have it.
It's like Sugar Gliders. Get two of those fudge-grabbing, grubby, screaming @ night things and mate them...another one just like them pop out, and you have more noise. But in TS3 case with people, it isn't cute and you can't control what they take.
And let's say you don't cheat. Susie has saved up hard for that pool table that she wanted, then a klepto comes along and steals it. They totally need to not let it be where you and other sims can just walk in someone's house, even if you do know them. If that isn't your house, you can't go in it...the sim or someone who lives there has to be home and lets you in. That's how if your pool table or TV goes missing, your sim would know where to find it. And I hope we can be able to take things back too that have been stolen.

But,,, sugar gliders are soooo cuteeee<3 LOL.
But I prefer rats, they only really make audible sounds when upset or fighting. Squeaks when one is protesting being groomed, or with my youngest naked boy, with EVERYTHING because he's a drama queen, and shrieks and screams during an intense fight. [Or when being held by the vet. All of them, so dramatic!]
Was it Ben who had a sim who collected books, and he went to flag it as a bug when they disappeared and learned that the n-hood klepto had them piled up in his house? Maybe you can find your stuff again. I'm sure gossip will let you know about the kleptos in town and you can go over to their house, ask to come in, and put all your stuff in your inventory. Or maybe you have to steal it back? We won't know until the game comes out. Though with a burglar alarm hopefully things won't be too crazy.

oops double post :]
Re: Popular Traits - sims3luva22 - 06-01-2009 11:32 PM
I agree. I plan on installing burglar alarms and fire alarms too.
I hope light sleepers can catch them. Fight kleptos and I really hope you can confront the known klepto and either have the option to confront them about giving them back, fighting them for it, or calling the cops. With that old screenie it looks possible to call the cops.
Re: Popular Traits - yummybunny - 06-01-2009 11:41 PM
Then I wonder if I catch someone in my house to steal my stuff or take my baby's lollipop, I wonder if I have the option to beat them up.
Then I am really hoping if an evil sim is caught in the act of evil or stealing candy from a baby, that baby's big, bad daddy can beat the sim's butt. Like what would had happened if that lady in the heist was caught? I hope there are violent options.
