I would enjoy reading others' opinions on this subject.

Awesome thread. I will put some more thoughts in later but I love this game. I often do wander what types my Sims are.

This is so sweet. I love the Sims.

[Hecuba]

This is so sweet. I love the Sims.

Oh, I do too! I have a mod that allows my Sims to have as many as twenty traits however. Maybe it would give a better idea, no?

I love me some Sims 3. I dislike that there is a mood debuff when your spend too much time in your house without going out. I can spend days inside my apartment IRL and be happy as a clam, damnit.


I wouldn't put Mean-spirited for ISTJs, but maybe I'm biased. Also, Bookworm for ISTJ, in my biased opinion. I also wouldn't put Unflirty under ENTJs - ENTJs are usually massive flirts in my experience. And ENTPs might be the biggest flirts of all.

[ReflecTcelfeR]

I think it is interesting how every intuitive type gets the characteristic of "Genius".

[HarlequinFoxfire]

For my INFJ sim-self I had:

1. Loner
2. Good
3. Perfectionist
4. Couch Potato

and I used up the last slot with Vegetarian.

Love this! I've been a fan of The Sims since... The sims. I was like 10...it's been a long, long, intense love for the franchise. Great list!
