I wish someone who knew how to code well could make some franken-traits.
Specifically: take the already existing traits and combine 3-5 of them into one trait, and remove the "conflicts with" dynamic.
I have been thinking on this for a while, so here are several examples:
- New trait called Lothario is Charismatic, Commitment Issues, Flirty, Hot-Headed, & Schmoozer. (Which are actual traits of the Sims 3 version of Don Lothario.)
- Another new trait called Illustrious could be Artistic, Avant Guarde, Flirty, Great Kisser, & Irresistable. ( IlLUSTrious )
- Trait called Career Oriented could be Workaholic, Born Salesman, Dislikes Children, Ambitious, & Snob
- Materialistic could be Snob, Perfectionist, Frugal, & maybe Mooch.
- Anxious is a mix of Neurotic, Excitable, Hot-Headed, Brooding, & Socially Awkward.
- Sinister could be Evil, Mean-spirited, and Hot-Headed.
- Flower Child could be Eco-Friendly, Green Thumb, Gatherer, Vegetarian, & Loves the Outdoors
- Jock could be Athletic, Ambitious, & Daredevil.
- Homemaker could be Natural Cook, Neat, & Nurturing.
I recognize that this would essentially require a player to have all the EPs to make it work, which may be limiting for some, but I think it could make for much more interesting sims.... Especially if you really could remove the "conflicts with" dynamic for the franken-traits. Then one may potentially double-up on traits; like Career Oriented, Materialistic, Workaholic, Snob, and Ambitious.
I imagine a sim with franken-trait Tech Savvy, which is Computer Whiz, Handy, Eccentric, & Genius also having the normal traits of Technophobe, and Workaholic (amongst 2 other obligatory traits) which, in theory, would create a sim constantly working from home on the computer, doing very well at what they're doing on the computer, but despising every second of it and occasionally getting so upset as to break their computer but they can repair it very easily.
I think y'all get the point and could probably come up with some fascinating combinations.
If it's even possible.
I know NOTHING of coding. I'm just a mod goblin; I take whatever I think will add to my game.
