I always liked webmaster for the ability to make connections at the Sim's current job, raising their job performance. I never tried internet stalk. What does it do?
I've never used the make connections option it. So that's what that does. It does sound useful.
Internet stalk lets you learn about a sims's traits without having to socialize with them. So if you just briefly met a sim, it can help avoid the nasty surprise of finding out that they have traits you can't stand, or that the attractive prospective romantic interest you met at the park is totally incompatible with your sim.
Making money turking is also nice, but in general you make more money hacking at that level, assuming your sim doesn't spend so much time hacking that all the options are grayed out.
If we're talking about Aspiration Traits, I rather like Expressionistic. The ability to paint any emotional paintings at any time is incredibly convenient. Also Vicarious and Patriarch/Matriarch from the family aspirations. They're incredibly broken if you're willing to put in the effort to complete the aspirations.
I've never managed to complete the family aspiration ones. Are the skill boosts ones that stack with aspiration point purchasable traits like savant, night owl, and morning person?
I knew Foodie was powerful, but I didn't realize it was that amazing. I did notice that a fresh-from-CAS sim with the master mixologist aspiration (and hence the foodie trait) could make breakfast for his roommates on a cheap stove while uncomfortably hungry, and not only have it not be poor quality, but more importantly, he did not set the house on fire making eggs. With any other unskilled sim, you might as well hand them a box of matches and lighter fuel if you try that.
I love the romantic trait for storytelling, but my sims always end up tense from not flirting enough. Do your romantic sims play out as faithful types, as far as their whims go? Or if they have a partner, do they still wish to flirt with other sims?
