💚 Traits, Refreshed & Randomized

I'm currently in the testing process for V2 of my Trait-Based Chemistry mod, but I wanted to go ahead and share this first, since I intend these to be used with that mod.

The original 3t2 traits were released 6 years ago, and I thought it was time for a fresh look. And while Flippity Flop traits by @anachronisims/@cityof2morrow filled in some gaps, I still felt like there were some aspects of real life personalities that were missing. And like most things, I started working on this and couldn't stop. Here's what you'll find in the download folders:

New icons for 3t2 & Flippity Flop traits, using 4t2 icons

Increased texture size for all traits, so they look a bit nicer in Sims' inventories - these went from 128x64 to 256x128 (preview below the cut)

9 new traits to complement the above sets

New icons for some "bonus" traits like @tammyhybrid21's Alien trait and @midgethetree's Fairy trait, plus 8 new completer bonus traits

Mesh swap of Simlogical's Prisoner Tag to fit the same format as the traits

Optional renamed traits (included in a separate folder with credits where applicable)

Trait randomizer program using Hook's RandomStuff

All traits use their original GUIDs and file names so you can just replace them in your downloads folder if you have the originals. You may need to manually refresh thumbnails in-game to see the new icons.

‼️The collection file is required - these objects will not show up in the catalog. If you are new to using traits, you also MUST have the trait_MAIN file from the original traits project post.

It's been ages since I shared anything and I started this project months ago, so it's highly possible I made a mistake somewhere. Let me know if you run into any issues!

✨DOWNLOAD: SFS / MF

Updated 2/16/25: Fixed an error where some of the renamed traits were showing in the catalog instead of collection only. Archives have been updated.

Updated 2/20/25: The Minimalist trait texture was showing up as a recolor for Black Thumb, and I accidentally packaged a version of the Prisoner trait without the custom thumbnail. Archives have been updated but you can get the individual files here.

Updated 8/29/25: An anon let me know ages ago that the renamed Mooch/Greedy trait had an incorrect texture. Archives have been updated, but you can download the fixed trait separately here.

Catch You on the Flippity Flop!

a TS2 traits expansion

by @anachronisims (sufficeittosay) and @cityof2morrow

Part 1: New Traits!

What you get: 16 new trait object files for your personality diversity pleasure. Most of them are opposites of existing 3t2 traits that didn't already have them. One is just because :)

Big Spender (opposite of Frugal)

Black Thumb (opposite of Green Thumb)

Can't Carry a Tune (opposite of Virtuoso)

Climate Denier (opposite of Eco-Friendly)

Difficulty Reading (opposite of Bookworm)

Dislikes Animals (opposite of Animal Lover)

Dislikes Cats (opposite of Cat Person)

Dislikes Dogs (opposite of Dog Person)

Dreamer* (the intersection of Ambitious and Absent-Minded)

Generous (opposite of Mooch)

Homebody (opposite of Adventurous)

Minimalist (opposite of Gatherer)

Nudist (opposite of Never Nude)

Slow Learner (opposite of Genius)

Sweet Tooth (just because)

Terrible Cook (Natural Cook)

(*) I know @lilbabydilljr released a Dreamer trait already as part of the hidden/scrapped TS3 traits collection, but I wanted to change the flavor text and concept of it. My spouseman is a real dreamer-content-to-dream and I felt the TS3 scrapped version was too close to Ambitious. So @cityof2morrow made a different icon for it, and changed the GUID as well because Dill's conflicts with HB's simlife goggles. However, the file name is the same as Dill's and will overwrite it.

ETA: These are traits objects that WILL appear in your catalog in Gen/Misc. They are NOT added to the traits collection file as I don't use it. Feel free to do so yourself, of course.

What's coming next: Updates to existing traits mods that are plausibly affected by these traits (plus some personal preference tuning). Check out the to-do list here. Suggestions welcome and encouraged! Anyone who would like early access as a beta tester, please let us know!

Trait replacements from Jellymeduza's Avatar mod

Designed for non-Avatar themed neighborhoods.

Just remove the old traits and put in my own. They have the same GUIDS, so there shouldn't be any compatibility issues with Jelly's released mods.

Features a Spanish translation.

Please notify us of any errors.

- Thanks @jellymeduza, for the original traits and mods. 🔥♒🍧🌼

Default Replacement Text for Good and Evil Traits

So my game just assigned the Evil trait to an NPC. “Evil” is a pretty heavy word, hence why I rarely use the trait myself; the Good/Evil trait thing also feels too much like an alignment system, which I don’t particularly like. What’s a modder to do? Replace the text, of course! For other simmers like me who dislike the implications of those terms, I’ve uploaded my replacements here (SFS).

The Good trait is now called Generous - that is the only change I made to the name and description. Evil, however, got a moderate description change as well as becoming the Devious trait. Its catalog text now reads “Devious Sims take great delight in planning the misfortune of others and prefer to lead a life of scheming and manipulation.” Reference to liking the darkness was removed, because I see no reason why dark automatically has to be bad. I like lying in a darkened room and practising mindfulness. Besides, racist overtones much, EA?

These are the collection-only versions of the traits, and require trait_MAIN from this post.

Until recently many SIMS 2 lovers thought that the TRAITS (from SIMS 3) were impossible to have/use in the game. But @hexagonal-bipyramid made the miracle by converting traits into fuctional tokens followed by @midgethetree, @episims and other cc creators who ever made traits. This post of mine is IDEA/SUGGESTION for MUSIC GENRE TRAITS for Sims 2 - music icons as token/traits which enable sims to turn on the exact music type/genre and have great FUN BOOST thanks to that.

Elven Trait for TS2

Hey all! Look, I made a mod thing! So if it wasn’t obvious, I’m a dork who loves elves. While rebuilding my game, I was inspired by @midgethetree​‘s lifestate mods, and I’ve been trying to teach myself BHAV coding anyway.

So I made a trait for elf sims!

Right now, it’s just the trait so doesn’t do anything (please, I encourage anyone more experienced than I to feel free). But I do have two ideas for upcoming mods.

You can find it in Misc > Misc like midge’s trait mods.

Download it on SFS here.

I’ve been trying a bunch of things to shake up and change my gameplay lately - I finally downloaded ACR! I’m also using this traits generator to assign some traits to my Sims that will help define their personalities further. And last but not least, I’m rolling random events. I didn’t bother with a program, I just looked around online and found a bunch I liked (I’m sticking with only minor events for now) and wrote them down, and at the beginning of a play session I’m just going to ask Siri to pick a number between 1 and 26 (which is how many scenarios I have).

Devon and Rosie Berlin were the first ones to test drive traits and random events - I’ve had ACR in my game for close to a week already.

(Un)luckily for Devon, he is the handy one, AND his wife is hydrophobic, so he needed to step up to the plate when the shower and toilet broke in the same day.

They rolled for a games night, which wasn’t as fun with just the two of them, so they invited over another couple, Shane and Alexandra Mackenzie, for pool in the garage.

So far I’m really enjoying these changes in my gameplay!
