Green Thumb, Perfectionist, Neat, Brave and ....................

Flirty!

It would let Mr Perfect have a little fun and he could wreak havoc with autonomous flirts  ;)

I like the sound of Brave. He can defend the family during burglaries and house fires.  :)

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.

Yeah; but, since Max has maxed out the guitar, one afternoon in front of the theater and he'll have 25 aquaintances (I did that with him). So Charisma is a good trait to have.

Also, I am doubting if he will need Perfections, since his cooking is already perfect. If there were things beyond perfect I wouldn't have taken out Natural Cook and considered removing Perfections as well.

Family Oriented and Good.

Family Oriented because, as someone previously mentioned, then he can be a parent to children if / when the parents are away. Good because hey, I don't want to hire an Evil butler. And he gives off the "Comforted" buff when he uses a friendly interaction.

With family oriented he will have constant wishes to marry and have children. Friendly will be a good trait for him.

Weird, seems a post of mine didn't got posted.
Anyway, just like Seabody said: I am really thinking about Family Oriented because he will support the families of your all sims and Family Oriented helps greatly as he will get an improved relationship with them from the start, enjoyed taking care of babies and toddlers, teaches toddler their skills 50% faster, he actually enjoyed doing laundry with this trait and he tutors kids and teens even faster.

Man... thinking about this all, in combination with his booming Logic skill this is a wonderfull supporting trait.

@ Seabody: how big is that 'comforted' moodlet and how long does it last? If he does it automatically than that one can be very, very practical indeed. Does this differ from the 'brighten day' moodlet result he can give another sims?
The Good trait prevent him from fighting burglars btw.

The Comforted moodlet is +15 for three hours and only comes up with a negative moodlet. The Brighten Day moodlet is +10 for 3 hours.

With what negative moodlet does Comforted come up?
I am still doubting if Good is a good trait for Max. It interfears with the ability to fight burglars and that really bugs me. He must be able to defend and support the family.

I wouldve changed brave or perfectionist rather than settle with lower grade foods  :-X :o

Can Apprehend Burglar is a hidden trait he has as well.
So the benefit of Brave that is still there is that he can take out fires himself but I am not sure if he can do that while having the Pyromania hidden trait.
Exploring tombs without fear is also a reason why he could keep that trait.

But the Private Eye hidden trait gives the option to fight burglars. And you can fight sims to get information through going through challenges. Not sure if Max needs that though.

I now am thinking about Overemotional. Having that moodlet boost is a very nice effect for Max.
Especially as he can make friends instantly with people he meet, eventhough he doesn't have any Charisma challenges completed the moment you guys have downloaded him. One 'Charming Introduction' and the other sim is sold and added to his friend list instantly, just by being level 10 Charisma.
Unless you guys can tell me that doing this introduction while being Charismatic or Friendly will make that sim instantly a best friend I might concider that one still.

I vote for family oriented too, although possibly then you could make a trait unflirty so as not to wreck the relationships of his employers.

Since he is intended to be a butler I would definitely go with Family Oriented.

What about Friendly? Max'll be able to get to be friends more easily. ;D
