Strangetown Extras: Sims 3 Traits

[strangetomato]

I've noticed that meme where you pick 5 Sims 3 traits for yourself (I'll go with Artistic, Absent-Minded, Heavy Sleeper, Bookworm, and Great Kisser. *snicker* Obviously.), and it inspired me to start selecting traits for some of the S,HWC folks. I haven't quite narrowed them all down to five yet, but it's fun to decide which ones are most essential to the character. I'm going to share the lists I have so far, in no particular order, and see if you can figure out who they are.






1. Hot-Headed, Loner, Neat, No Sense of Humor, Workaholic

2. Vegetarian, Workaholic, Perfectionist, Athletic, Neurotic, Hot-Headed

3. Charismatic, Schmoozer, Materialistic, Hopeless Romantic, Great Kisser, Excitable, Ambitious (Errr... that's only 5 traits, right?)

4. Flirty, Over-Emotional, Slob, Couch Potato, Good Sense of Humor, Virtuoso

5. Artistic, Family-Oriented, Natural Cook, Neat, Good

6. Materialistic, Neat, Snob, Unlucky, Artistic

7. Loves the Outdoors, Family-Oriented, Good, Green-Thumb, Loner

8. Brave, Hopeless Romantic, Excitable, Friendly, Bookworm




Can you figure out who's who? Some were easier than others (and some would be better described by traits that aren't listed in the game). It's still a work-in-progress.

ETA: Here's the list. It's fun to look through. I really like this new system, but wish you could pick more (or less) than five.

Some guesses... some a lot more guessy than others.

1) Tank
2) Johnny
3) Beau
4) Ripp
5) Buck
6) Frances
7) Bottom
8) Jill

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Good job. ^_^ You have 7/8 correct.

I'll play it like Price is Right. You have the option to change one choice and try again...

[muchluvtoyou.livejournal.com]

1. Tank
2. Johnny (duh)
3. Ripp (also duh)
4. Beau
5. Frances
6. Buck
7. Phi
8. Bottom (? this one was tough)

How'd I do?

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

You have 5/8, but two of those were fairly easy to mix up (especially without the descriptions - I'll add them).

[sadieg79.livejournal.com]

Hehe, I had a go at that meme too - I went with absent-minded, creative, computer whiz, good and over-emotional. Anyway, let's see:

1. Tank
2. Johnny
3. Beau
4. Ripp
5. Buck
6. Francis
7. Ophelia
8. Hmm... not sure about that one. Lucy?

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

I almost went with over-emotional too, but it's not really true. I'm sensitive, but I tend to not really show on the surface. It's fun to pick traits. I can see that being fun in the game.

You have 9/10. Can you guess which is wrong?

[sadieg79.livejournal.com]

Heh - I can now that we have a winner ;) But yeah - I'd probably do the same thing with my versions of the characters. Hell, my characters full stop - it's definitely fun to go picking through them ;)

I agree though, it'd be nice if we had more. But then I've always been awkward :P

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Heheh. It's EASY now. XD

I agree that you should be able to pick more (or less) than five. Beau is someone with tonnes of personality traits, but others have less. It'd make more sense that way.

[sadieg79.livejournal.com]

ETA: Artistic, even. I wish there was a creative option :P And where'd my edit function go - I'm still on paid!? o_o

ETA 2: Okay, LJ's being weird - I can edit this one. Go figure *shrug*

[pnkpnthr334.livejournal.com]

I'd guess...

1) Tank
2) Johnny
3) Beau
4) Ripp
5) Ophelia
6) Frances
7) Bottom
8) Lucy

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... I can see where you were very close in the ones you got wrong (you have 5/8). You picked characters that were pretty close to the right answer.

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

1) Tank
2) JOHNNY (HAY BB ILU!)
3) Beau
4) Ripp
5) Buck
6) Frannypants
7) Ophelia
8) Jill?

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

YOU WIN! :D I guess I shouldn't be all that surprised, huh?

Jill was the hardest to pick. She needs "unconventional" or something like that. And stubborn.

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

Lol, I am awesome. I only went with Jill, because of 'brave'. And I thought she'd probably be something of a bookworm, because I knew you were making her a writer.

Stubborn would be a good trait.

Also, you went with the SENSATIONAL SEVEN (+Beau!), so it matched up with everything that I love.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Yeah, brave was the one that I was most confident about. Bookworm is partly because she keeps diaries, and I plan to have her write a memoir about being an alien hybrid one day.

They're the easiest for me to do, obviously, but I'm going to try to do the other characters too. I like how there's an "evil" option for Circe. So perfect.

My favourite has to be unlucky for Franny, because he really has bad luck (except for Beau).

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

Heehee, 'unlucky' is how I knew it was Frances for sure. Well, that and 'snob'.

Also, I knew who Ripp was the second I hit 'over-emotional'. Yes - he is. XD

I peeked through the traits just now and this is what I came up with for myself:

artistic, childish, excitable, friendly, hopeless romantic/unflirty (because I'm conflicting like that...)

[akatonbo.livejournal.com]

They almost went in order from easiest to pick to hardest! (Except that Beau was actually the easiest, for me. His list is VERY Beau-like.) I did wonder if 7 was Phi (especially since I figured she'd be on the list) but wasn't sure about some of them.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I like Beau's list. I've actually directly referred to about half of those traits in the story.

Some of the characters share the same traits, for sure. The ones you mixed up made sense.

[simgarooop.livejournal.com]

Let's see if I can get these right (And I'm not looking at the comments! :D)

1. Tank
2. Johnny (LOL, I love the neurotic label :D)
3. Beau (I'm going with the ambitious part, I don't think Ripp is exactly ambitious)
4. Ripp (I was torn between 3 and 4)
5. Buck? (Does he cook? I can't remember it!)
6. Frances
7. Ophelia
8. Jill
8.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

W00t! Perfect score. You're good. ^_^

The neurotic one made me laugh too. So funny and so true.

Buck does cook. He even bakes bread.

[simgarooop.livejournal.com]

Sweet! :)

The hardest one was Jill, but then I remembered that she's a knowledge sim in your game and the "bookworm" trait made sense to me. The hopeless romantic trait describes her perfectly.

If you were placing those traits in order, you'd need to put neurotic as Johnny's number 1 trait :P.

Oh, now I remember that he bakes bread! For a moment, I thought I was mixing him up with my version of Buck, who's a professional cook.

[leskuh.livejournal.com]

*high fives you*

Fuck yeah, we rock! Perfect scores!

[simgarooop.livejournal.com]

*high fives back*

We know our Maxis characters pretty well! :)

[simsinthecity.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't have even got 8/8 if I tried.

Neurotic, slob, hot-headed, hates the outdoors, and family-oriented. O.o

[smjoshsims.livejournal.com]

I LOVE THESE GUESSING GAMES!


1.Tank

2. Johnny

3. Beau!!!!

4. Ripp

5. Phi

6. FRANNY

7. Nervous?

I would be a Bookworm, Neat, Neurotic, Snob, and Unflirty, I guess. This was really hard for me. :P

[meetme2theriver.livejournal.com]

Without looking at others' replies...

1. Tank
2. Johnny
3. Beau
4. Ripp
5. Buck
6. Frances
7. Ophelia
8. Jill

[silentsteel.livejournal.com]

1) Tank

2) Johny

3) Beau

4) Ripp

5) Buck

6) Frances

7) Ophelia

8) Jill


This was fun! :D

*pokes about list*

[silentsteel.livejournal.com]

And for myself . . . Damn, only five traits?

Bookworm
Absent-Minded
Family Oriented
Heavy Sleeper
Artistic/Insane/Slob

O:)

Re: *pokes about list*

[madame-ugly.livejournal.com]

What's sad is, the five that BEST sum me up are ones that aren't very flattering.

heavy sleeper (read: lazy)
couch potato (read: lazy)
loner (read: antisocial)
frugal (read: cheap)
good sense of humor (read: sarcastic)
(and if I can pick more than five, artistic and bookworm apply but only in passing)

Fun list.

Re: *pokes about list*

[silentsteel.livejournal.com]

Maybe they're not flattering, but you're still damned fun! :D

And hey, being frugal is nothing to sneeze at. :)

[opalsocks.livejournal.com]

I can't put in a proper guess now because I read all the comments before deciding to comment myself, but I'll show you what I did have before reading the comments:

1. Tank (the hot-headed and loner gave this one away for me)
2. Johnny (Vegetarian, then Perfectionist just locked it in)
3. Beau (the fact that there was more than five, mainly xD)
4. Ripp (Over-Emotional and Slob)
5. Phi or Buck (Couldn't quite decide between these two)
6. Frances (Snob, mostly... That and I knew you wouldn't leave him out :P)
7. Was going with Phi for this but didn't think she was really a loner, so ended up having no idea :P
8. Jill (Bookworm and Brave gave this one away for me)

And for myself: Childish, Commitment Issues, Family Orientated, Good, Loser

[inclinedplane.livejournal.com]

The trait system alone is making me want to buy and new computer /and/ the sims 3 arghhh.

I think I would choose: absent minded, couch potato, friendly, heavy sleeper, loner, perfectionist, slob, and good sense of humor. I know that's 7. And perfectionist and slob go together.. in my head.

[simsnowcherry.livejournal.com]

Alright, I'll give it a try!

1. Tank
2. Johnny
3. Beau
4. Ripp
5. Buck
6. Er...Frances?
7. Bottom. Or maybe Phi. First I thought Bottom, but then I thought that you wouldn't leave Phi out of this, and the traits fit Phi too. So it can be either one.
8. Lucy?

The last two were the hardest. Easiest was Ripp. :D

Myself, I'd probably be Bookworm, Absent-Minded, Hopeless Romantic, Over-Emotional and Vegetarian.

[showercapfrog.livejournal.com]

That was cool. Urk, I think defining yourself by five traits is a horrible thing to do :P

[alek94.livejournal.com]

I've done exactly the same, because I want to remake the Strangetown characters for the Sims 3. They're also a little bit inspired by your story, but also by my own interpretation of the characters :) I've already seen the answers, but when I read 7, I actually thought of PT9. In my list, he has Family-Oriented, Good, Green-Thumb, Insane, Vegetarian. But it really surprised me that you gave Ripp 'Over-Emotional'. I thought it was more something for Jenny.

[strange-tomato.livejournal.com]

It actually surprised you that I described Ripp as over-emotional? I think maybe you're thinking of another story, then. :P The Ripp in my story is usually at the mercy of his emotions (as is the Ripp in my game - the poor thing cries at the slightest upset).

My 5

[(Anonymous)]

Over Emotional
Bookworm
Clumsy
Good Sense of Humor
Hot Headed

And because it says a lot about you as a sim, I added my SO's 5:

Good Sense of Humor
Virtuoso
Charismatic
Lucky
Hot Headed
