How Do I get to know my other sim's shy trait?

[slpc04]

Hi, I have 2 sims living together as acquaintance still. They know each other's traits all except the shy trait. I make them chat together a lot yet, they won't reveal each other's shy trait. Both have the shy trait. What do I do? Both have observant reward.

Please help! Thanks

Try the "Get to Know" interaction.

Well, the get to know interaction option in the beginning of the relationship. After that you don't get it anymore. I didn't get that option after a few get to knows. After they became friends, they still don't know each other's shy trait. I'm almost giving up. LOL!

Shy might be a trait that is hard to know if another sim has it n

[slpc04]

I see, thanks for the replies. I guess I have to change my sims's traits then.

I see, thanks so the replies. I guess I have to change my sims's traits then.

Why do you need to change their traits?

[slpc04]

Well, don't you think it's odd, both living under the same roof and don't know each other is shy? lol

So if they can't know one more trait of each other, I'll have to make another trait so that it's easier for them to know all of each other's traits. Don't you think? I just am so frustrated about this shy trait. I wonder why they won't reveal it

[Sportsfan]

Yeah I guess. I'm just don't care too much if they know each others traits or not I guess.
There's got to be some way to learn if they are shy.

So, do you have your sims know some traits and those they don't know, you leave it? Does it effect the game if they don't know all of each other's traits? If it doesn't maybe I'll leave it, too, because I like my sims shy.

It does not effect gameplay if the sim does not know each others traits.  I don't think I have ever used the shy trait though.  I keep forgetting about that one.  I am not sure when this happened, but "get to know" is now listed in mine, even if two people are  good friends.  It didn't use to show up after they became friends, but with some patch or maybe Generations, it is now listed as an interaction most of the time. I was quite suprised when I saw it.  I wouldn't worry about not knowing that trait, but that is up to you if you want to change it.

I see the same thing about the get to know salty.

The Shy trait in particular isn't any harder to learn than any other trait.  Normally, the Get to Know interaction shows up until the two Sims become friends.  You can still learn traits by just using Chat.  Another way is to have them be mean to each other until the friendship goes back to acquaintance.  Get to Know will show up again at that point.

Now, having said all this...  I've noticed that since the most recent patch, the Get to Know interaction seems to be more random.  I've seen is disappear during the acquaintance period and reappear during friendship.

Your two Sims don't have to know all of each other's traits to be happy together.  Learning traits is mostly so you, they player, will know what traits the other Sim has so you can decide what kind of interactions will give you ++ in the relationship building.

One last thing for slpc04.  I had to edit your posts because of incorrect grammar and spelling.  Please read the Forum Rules (in my signature below) and use apostrophes and correct spelling when posting on our Forum.  Thanks very much.

I have played with the shy trait but I can't remember if other sim know it. The no sense of humor trait other sims can't learn. When I go in my game later I will test the shy trait for you

Ooh, thanks lovesim.....much appreciated.
