 Say Thanks!
My last trait (Historian) seemed quite popular, so I thought I'd share another I made for my game. I LOVE this trait, not gonna lie. I always find "popular kid" traits tend toward trouble-making and sexuality. Those are awesome, but I also wanted something a bit different for my sims. Teenage dreams are the ultimate childhood sweethearts: wholesome, cheeky and dumb. Their whims are teenagery. They make relationships very easily, but struggle with mental pursuits like, y'know, school. They could best be described as lovably dopey.

Teenage dreams can be any gender; I tried to be a neutral as possible with pronouns. They are confident, charismatic and lazy. This trait has quite a few ~hidden buffs that affect skill gain and social stats, so it's a nice general trait to set a baseline for your character.

I have plans to (re)introduce a broadcaster buff that affects nearby teenagers - they gotta react to such a cool kid! - but this is still in beta-testing as I've been having a lot of issues on which sims should/should not be affected. So this is on hold for now, but if I get to a stable version I will update.

Tested for The Sims 4 v1.40.61. Base game compatible.

Commodities:
  • These sims naturally love to hang out with their buds - and can tend toward laziness.

  • They have to work harder if they want good grades in high school as they find it x1.25 harder than their classmates. (#unfair)
