New trait for Max Skills
« on: October 26, 2012, 06:33:17 PM »
As some of you already know, I am hard working on a new and improved Max Skills, better than ever before. ;)

I am also going to drop one trait of his previous version: Natural Cook.
My question now is: what trait would you guys love to let Max Skills choose instead of Natural Cook? And especially: why?

Please drop a commend, as I'm training Max for this community mostly, your opinion is from high value.

Basegame traits only.

When Max arrives at his new home, he has all the skills but he doesn't know any of the townsfolk in his new home.  Therefore, I'd suggest a trait that will help him make friends - Friendly would be my choice.

And, Leto, of course he's your Sim and you can make him in any you want.  But personally, I'm hoping you might someday want to do a female Maxine Skills, just as a change of pace!  :)

How bout Family Orientated because I will probably download him to be my child slave *evil*

OR because if your household has kids he would be a great "dad" to the kids and with all his skills and tutoring I could have the smartest kids in the world! YAY

Ambitious:-   Because it is so helpful with almost every skill.  The extra reward points associated with ambitious can be a real, all round,  mood boaster.
“In this world, there is nothing softer or thinner than water. But to compel the hard and unyielding, it has no equal. That the weak overcomes the strong, that the hard gives way to the gentle -- this everyone knows. Yet no one asks accordingly.”

It depends on what you want him to be able to do. Most of the skilling traits lose their value past level 10. Ambitious, Charismatic and Friendly would be most useful, but it depends on how you want him to be as a roleplay character.

I know, Leto.  I could even change his traits if I wanted to!  :D

I always like bookworm because you can power through skill and career books.

I like the Charismatic and Friendly ideas also, and maybe Schmoozer.

Keep in mind guys that, just like Sweetest Pea already has said: traits that are only there for easy skilling are a big waste on Max. He isn't called Max Skills for nothing. ;)
I assume myself that a skill based on a more Butler Roleplay will suite him best though.
But still I am curious to what you guys can come up with.

Oh then I think Proper would be great for a butler.

Silverbella - Proper isn't a base game trait. I believe that Leto will want Max to have all base game traits, as he said earlier in the thread. :)

I myself would favor Friendly or Charismatic. Since he will lose his friends when he switches towns, those traits would be useful to help him get them back. Also, a friendly butler seems very appropriate as a roleplay trait.

I completely agreed. But I want only base game traits, as every simmer must be able to download him, no matter what expansion they have.

My experience with the Charisma skill is that when I've taken a character with level 10 Charisma to another town, a character that had completed all the skill challenges except the joke one that I never bother with, that character has had to start over with getting to know the 25 acquaintances and making however many best friends it is for the other skill challenge.  They didn't get credit for those two skill challenges even though I know they had completed them before.  So there really isn't a lot of point having Max complete those two skill challenges as he'll lose them when he goes to another town.  If he's going to have the Charisma skill supermaxed in peoples games, either Charismatic or Friendly will  help him get there.

Aww sorry I forgot :(   Yep I'd still go with Charismatic, Friendly or Schmoozer then.
