Use The Sims 3 Traits to Describe Your Personality

[Blue Moon 6,341]

For those who don't know, The Sims 3 is a life simulation video game where you can create your own characters called "sims", and control them and their life in a town. When you create your sim in the Sims 3, you pick five traits to define their personality.

For this thread, we will be using all of those traits to define our personalities. Since you pick five in the game, you will pick five out of all the traits to best define your personality. Once you finish picking your traits out, post them below. I will leave a list of all the traits below. They will only be the PC ones, and the expansion pack ones will be included.

 

Now, most of the traits are pretty self-explanatory, but if you don't know what one means; just go to the below link for a list of all the descriptions for the traits.

Here we go...

 

• Dislikes Children

I really cannot stand children for the life of me. They're all annoying brats to me..

• Shy

Talking to people I don't know, will freeze my body up completely. 

• Loves the cold

I love Winter and can't wait for it to get here.

• Neat

People think I have a cleaning OCD and everything has to be organized. My video games and DVD's/BluRays are all organized alphabetically as well.

• Vegetarian

I can't stand meat. 

 

 

I think those are the main 5.

[toby rogers 258]

[MelancholicMemory 2,025]

Here's the complete list, but I'll choose my top 6.

 

 

 

Absent-Minded

Brooding

Childish

Coward

Dislikes Children

Flirty

Hates the Outdoors

Hopeless Romantic

Insane

Loner

Loser

Loves the Cold

Neurotic

Shy

Unlucky

Rebellious

 

 

Loner

I have a grand total of two friends, counting close acquaintances as friends, and I don't even talk to them that much/

 

Hopeless Romantic

Self-explanatory. Unfortunately this characteristic runs at odds with my other main attributes.

 

Neurotic

One small confrontation or harmful remark can make me depressed for weeks.

 

Absent-Minded

I'm rarely paying attention to the world around me. I'm either in my theoretical/ fantasy world trying to figure things out, or I'm in the process of planning things.

 

Brooding

I'm a very depressive person, and I spend a lot of time brooding, unfortunately. Not in an emo or Byronic way either.

 

Flirty

When I do talk to people, I tend to be very flirtatious with everyone.

[Envy 6,183]

I think the list and links to the traits on this site may be better, because it gives you their actual descriptions in-game, instead of whether they're useful or not for a Sim to have.

 

Sorry, but I'm not playing by the game's rules. As a REAL person I am a bit too complex to have just five or six traits.

 

Absent-Minded

Ambitious

Excitable

Insane (Well, a little bit anyway xD)

Neurotic

Clumsy

Coward

Loves the Cold

Unlucky

Dramatic

Easily Impressed

Shy

Social Butterfly (I don't care that it conflicts with Shy ingame, that's me)

Socially Awkward

Childish

Dog Person

Good

Over Emotional

Perfectionist

Supernatural Skeptic (although it's noticeably different IRL, because in TS3 there are actually supernatural creatures, and they're obvious. lol)

 

But to be nice, I will try to narrow it down to five. Try...

 

Dramatic: I am a complete and total drama queen. If you have never seen this side of me, consider yourself lucky.

 

Social Butterfly: It took me a while, but I realized this is a trait for me. I am an attention you-know-what. lol

 

Neurotic: Sadly, it very much describes me.

 

Childish: I never grew up. Watching MLP:FiM is not an exception for me, I watch cartoons all of the time. lol. This trait fits me too much.

 

Coward: Because I am. lol

[Scootalove 10,689]

Shy

I'm not usually shy around groups or crowds but, when I'm all alone I'm pretty shy.

 

Athletic

I played in a lot of sports in school and, I'm pretty skilled at them.

 

Good Sense of Humor

A lot of my friends say that I'm funny, so that counts.

 

Night Owl

Staying up at night is my thing. Like a bat sleeping in a cave.

 

Evil

Since I have two split personalities one good and one evil, I'm really evil.

 

Hot-Headed

I have a very bad temper tantrum problem when I get angry, that explains it.

[Smarts 1,623]

Shy:

I am very shy. I can't make eye contact with anyone for more than a few seconds, I blush easily, I am quiet, and I just stay away from social situations.

 

Neat:

I have to keep everything neat and orderly. If I see the slightest speck of dust, I automatically start cleaning. If something is out of place, I correct it immediately. I prefer cleanliness. Maybe a bit too much. Oh well.

 

Unlucky:

Pretty self-explanatory.

 

Loser:

No one can deny this. I am a loser, plain and simple. I was born one and I will always be one. That's how life works...

 

Friendly:

I am friendly with everyone I meet. I never act like a jerk to somebody, even though they are acting like one to me. I keep my friendly nature no matter what.

[Champion RD92 8,658]

Shy: I've been pretty shy for a long time. It's usually hard for me to have a conversation with someone that I don't know very well. 

Dislikes Children: I've never liked children. They are extremely annoying and they get on my nerves.

Couch Potato: I pretty much spend my time sitting around doing nothing and I'm kinda lazy lol

Good Sense of Humor: I can be funny at times, and I appreciate good humor, I love comedy

Night Owl: I chose this because I like the night more than the day. 

[PoisonClaw 8,165]

Socially Awkward - I'm not kidding when I say I could very well be the poster child for being socially awkward. 

 

Bookworm - Not surprising if you know me in the slightest. 

 

Loner - Comes with being an introvert I guess. I can count on one hand the number of people I enjoy spending time with, but outside of the I'd very much prefer to be left alone.

 

Couch Potato - It would probably be easier to count the time I don't spend reclining on a chair or the couch. I've been described as being "lazy", but since that trait isn't on this list I guess this will have to do.

 

Perfectionist - To an almost OCD degree.

[Lost 1,410]

Those that best describe me would be

Ambitious

Bookworm

Born Salesman

Computer Wizard

Friendly

Good sense of humour

Night Owl

 

 

Narrowing down to 5:

Bookworm - I love reading, I read quite often and usually prefer a book to its movie or TV counterpart.

 

Computer Wizard - I've been using computers my whole life, I have a few diplomas of varied levels in computing and I'm at university studying my BSC in Computer Science, likely followed by a Masters and maybe a doctorate.

 

Friendly - I may not look like the friendly type but I am

 

Good Sense of humour - I love a good joke almost as much as I love making people laugh.

 

Night Owl - I spend more hours in awake in the dark than in the light, I prefer night time to daytime, given the choice I would completely switch my sleeping patter so that I would sleep using the day and be up at night.

[Shanks 10,816]

Artistic: I composed songs before I could even read music, and became even more skilled as I learned music. And I have been developing my skills as a writer from a young age.

 

Bookworm: I have had a natural curiosity and thirst for knowledge from a very young age that dosen't seem to stop growing.

 

Family Oriented: Family has always been important to me and always will be.

 

Natural Cook: I love cooking and have the advantage of several good cooks in the family including my Dad that taught me some very useful tricks.

 

Ambitious: I do have a habit of procrastinating sometimes but if I want something badly enough than I won't give up until I get it.

[Descant 1,898]

Artist
Virtuoso
Socially Awkward
Social Butterfly
Eccentric


Okay, now let me explain these. The first two are fairly self-explanitory. Now, I'm both socially awkward and a social butterfly. I know that those two seem to contradict each other, but I can explain it. I think. I'm a wierd mental case - I love being around people, but I can't often motivate myself to be. I'm not a people person, and I'm horrible at remembering names and, well, reading people - I'm sure you can relate - yet I'm miserable if I don't at least try to socialize. It's weird, I don't know how else to explain it. And eccentricity... well, I define that as embracing your quirks as part of who you are and letting them shine, and there's no shame in that.

Other options I seriously considered are Charismatic, Loves to Swim (Seriously, I worked a summer camp in whitewater. The water wasn't even smooth there and I loved swimming in it), Natural Born Performer (I love being on stage), Perfectionist (especially about my art), Mooch (Hey, I ain't perfect), Computer whiz, loser, and born salesperson.

It's hard to choose just five.

[Faulty Roze 200]

OKay well....

 

Absent-Minded

- If you know me in real life. You would know that i would stare of into space and literally become a brain-dead zombie.

 

Clumsy

- I'm a bit of a cluts at times, knoing over paint, knocking over my tea/coffee/hot chocolate. 

 

Eccentric

- I admit. I am a kook. I'm the sort of person that you raise an eye brow at. 

 

Friendly

- I'm friendly, What more is there to say

 

Night-Owl

- I do like staying up late at night. The night is always so beautiful.

 

 

I think that sums it up

Edited September 16, 2013 by Frozen Rose

[Guest]

Social Butterfly

Any time I'm around people it seems everyone wants to come up to talk to me. I hold conversations, too.

 

Clumsy

I get hurt too many times to count through the day

 

Flirty

It comes natural. I try to watch it now that I have a boyfriend though lolol.

 

Rebellious

I like doing what I want. No one else matters.

 

Hot-headed

I get mad...fast. And it's not pretty.

 

Night Owl

I'm basically nocturnal.

 

Friendly

I'll talk to ANYONE.

 

Supernatural Fan

I'm a believer

 

Dog person

love dogs. hate cats.

[Zygen 6,066]

Lets see..

 

-Coward:  I'm not very brave in most situations, and tend to let fear get in the way of me enjoying things.

 

-Easily impressed: Doesn't take much to impress me frankly in my opinion.

 

-Perfectionist: not as much as my mother, but still a good bit in alot of cases, i've got better to, but alot of times i won't even attempt something if i know i can't do it good after the first few times. And i'm very hard and critical about myself and what i do.

 

-Shy: I'm pretty shy until i warm up to people. Which can take a while.

 

-Friendly: I like to atleast say that i'm kind.

 

Thats about it i guess, i'm pretty bad at analyzing my own personality so idk though.

[crazitaco 596]

shy- yup. that's me. i always felt i could relate to fluttershy for her shyness and lack of self confidence.

Artistic- love drawing, painting, coloring, and sculpting. its so fun i'm also play instruments

Absent-minded- i'm really bad about this one, everyone says i'm spacy. i make stupid mistakes because i tend to zone out quite a bit.

Couch Potato- Self Explanatory. I haven't done anything productive all day

Childish- childish sense of humor, love cartoons (obviously) and not too responsible. i love things that are cute and innocent, and i love fun. i hate work! bleh work! bleh responsibility!

Brooding- my head is full of unspoken angst. i may brood for several hours while doing some really boring task, like work or in class/walking around.

 

its funny though because my dark sense of humor often contrasts strangely with my childish nature. back in the day i was always doodling adorable candy people being eaten alive, and marshmellow people being skewered and melted alive over open fires, and mutant zombified teddy bears and kitties. (i even remember drawing zombie ponies and unicorns way before the pony fandom existed =/ ) i'm into weird stuff....

[Rolls Royce 606]

I think these would describe me.

Vehicle Enthusiast - I love everything about cars and treat the ones I own like members of the family.

 

Good Sense of Humor - It kind of describes itself, my work here is done.

 

Slob - The only thing I really keep spotless is my truck, which ties in with vehicle enthusiast.

 

Loves the Heat - Summer is my favorite time of the year, my comfort zone for the outdoors goes up to 100F, lowest is around 65F.

 

Virtuoso could be another one, but I'm just a percussionist and I mostly play the drum set.

Now that I am feeling better, I will participate.

 

Hopeless Romantic

I love romantic situations and often come off as romantic. I enjoy being around those I truly love and make their hearts flutter.

It's funny how I am romantic, but shy. Weird combination, I bet.

Socially Awkward - For when shyness isn't enough. I usually just remain silent to absolutely everyone, and I'm always concerned about my surroundings.
