Choosing the Best Traits for Each Career

The neuortic trait gives a 'Tranquil' moodlet which is a + something from  a quick freak out I think it lasts for 8 hours but I don't know if stress cancels it out.

While I've had no opportunity to test it yet, many people claim that a quick freak out will cancel all stress moodlets in lieu of the tranquil moodlet.

Not only it cancels all stress moodlets, but also freezes the fun bar for the next 8 hours. Very useful for writers.

Since the fun bar is frozen, it would cancel any stress related moodlets for as long as the tranquil moodlet persisted.  Thanks for confirming it, TheChronicR.

I combined Insane and Neurotic when I challenged myself to get the Surrounded with Family LTW. I can safely say that neurotic is a great trait to have. It kept my sim's mood up with just a quick freak-out and made taking care of the kids a lot easier because she didn't get so grouchy after work. She also accumulated LTHP a lot faster than her partner from all the little wishes.

Wouldn't Charisma be better for Law Enforcement than genius, since they have to interview people at some point.

I didn't realize how powerful the Neurotic trait was until I read this thread. Thanks for all the tips!

I also think we could help you update the thread with the Professions that came with Ambitions?

Really nice guide, I have a few thoughts for some of the ambitions careers

 For the Film Career i'd say star quality, friendly and charismatic are good traits to have :3

Investigator, genius

daycare nurturing and friendly

firefighter athletic and brave

stylist friendly and schmoozer as client relationships are imperative- same with architect i'd say

[Ricalynn]

I wouldn't give an investigator genius as much as I would give him perceptive which is very similar to genius with a twist.  It's basically tailor-made to be given to investigators.

For a Firefighter - I'd also give them handy because you need handiness as part of the career metrics.

[lilemz]

Ohh yes totally! Good idea

Can you please update with the careers with ambitions & island paradise??

I think one of the best for Medical is Workaholic, because you have to work long hours and you get called in at three in the morning, so it's important that you like work.
