Sloppy/Neat

Sloppy Sims are the ones that are dirty. They eat like pigs, refuse to flush the toilet, won't clean up, etc. Neat Sims are the ones that have no problem with that kind of stuff.

Sloppy

"With their constant disregard of cleanliness and hygiene, sloppy Sims are content to simply "be." They tend to enjoy just about anything that doesn't require planning or cleaning up on their part."

Neat

"Tidy Sims typically enjoy cleaning up the house or grooming themselves in front of the mirror. There's always something to be done around the house and they'll more often than not be found doing it; great for a house, but it can tire Sims out."

Notes about Neat Sims

Neat Sims gain fun when cleaning things (weird)
Neat Sims will clean the high chair when the Sim has taken the baby away
If Free Will is on, if there is a puddle, they will clean it up
Will never automatically eat spoiled food
Children will pack up toys after use

Notes about Sloppy Sims

Hygiene decreases faster than neat Sims
Sloppy Sims stuff food in their mouth, which might lower relationship points if anyone is near them (sitting at the same table)
Sloppy Sims don't have fun when told to clean things
May eat from trash, for food that have files around it if their hunger is very low (Free Will must be turned on in order to do this)
Leave toys around if they are finished with them, they don't put it back
They will make cleanable items such as showers and toilets more dirty quicker than neat Sims
Automatically eats spoiled food more often
Gives themselves a spongebath in the sink when there is no shower or bath to wash themselves
Can lick plates clean by clicking on the other rim of the plate
May pee in the shower

Shy/Outgoing

Shy Sims are ones that do not like big parties and stay away from group action. The outgoing Sims are the ones that crave the social attention and adore being around people.

Shy

"Introspective and quiet, shy Sims often think about the world around them and write in their diaries rather than actually interact with anyone. It may be harder to break out of their shells, but if shy Sims take the time to get to know others, they'll be delighted by the social world awaiting them."

Outgoing

"Outgoing Sims are likely to jump headfirst into any situation. Charm and confidence are their best traits and when they're in a friendly mood, they enjoy group activities most of all. Keep an eye on these characters, though; outgoing Sims can be too brash, and others aren't always so impressed."

Notes about Shy Sims

Social bar takes a long time to decrease
If they are in the same room with a fight going on, the shy Sim will run
Shy Sims will not jump off the diving board
Solo dances are a bit more reserved
Have several special animations for some racy interactions

Notes about Outgoing Sims

Social bar decreases fast
With 8 or more outgoing points, the Sim will enter hot tubs naked
Outgoing Sims talk with garden objects (gnome) if Free Will is on.
Males Sims with Outgoing of 9+ points will pee in the bushes if need be
Children with high outgoing are more likely to bring a friend home
Higher chance of party success if started with outgoing Sim
Sometimes Naked Sims may forget to dress in special events such as fire
Have more animated conservations
Will visit Sims if they are spied upon

Lazy/Active

Lazy Sims spend more time in front of the television than anyone else. Entertainment that require less energy like playing games on the computer or watching TV. Active Sims gain more fun by doing harder activities, like swimming.

Lazy

"Lazy Sims have been known to veg out on the couch for hours on end, so naturally, they don't need much sleep to sustain their constant lazying. They still enjoy socializing with other Sims and can be persuaded to get out of the house once in a while."

Active

"Active Sims are almost always on the move but need a lot of food and sleep to keep up with their hectic pace. They're apt to be the happiest while brea"
