Otherwise you may have a difficult time aligning your simвЂ™s ultimate goals with their personality. Again, Social Traits can conflict with one another your sim canвЂ™t be an Outgoing Loner.ДЄssuming you want an easier time, youвЂ™ll want to choose Traits that align with your simвЂ™s Aspiration. The more Social a sim is, the more they want to be around other sims. Family-Oriented sims want children Hates Children sims-well, the name says it all.

Social Traits determine your simвЂ™s attitudes towards others.

Lifestyle Traits can conflict with one another, so your sim canвЂ™t be both Ambitious and Lazy. Lazy sims like to sit around and do nothing, while Materialistic sims want to own a lot of fancy stuff.

Lifestyle Traits determine how your sim lives, and are another branch of their personality.

YouвЂ™ll usually have to spend a bit of money to indulge sims with a Hobby. Bookworms like to read Music Lovers will want an instrument. Hobby Traits determine which activities your sim likes the most.Click the household with the Sim you want to edit. Unleash your imagination and create a world of Sims thats wholly unique. Click the Manage Households icon in the upper-right corner. Play with life and discover the possibilities. Sims 4 This list would be incomplete if it didnвЂ™t include a Sims game. It takes most players roughly an hour to perfect the character they want. Type 'cas.fulleditmode' and press 'Enter'. While the character builder includes a lot of possibilities, some players have complained that it is difficult to use. Some Emotional Traits conflict with one another, so your sim canвЂ™t be both Cheerful and Gloomy. Press 'Ctrl+Shift+C' to bring up the Console on the map screen. An Active sim will want to get out and play sports or jog often a Romantic sim likes to schmooze it up Creative sims like to create new things. Emotional Traits determine your simвЂ™s mood swings.'lower face' morphs which don't make alterations high enough up the cheek, and vice versa.Traits come in four different categories: I don't think this workflow would enable character creators to do anything they can't do now, but I do think the idea - that of 'structured' or 'guided' direct manipulation of a mesh (with the 'structure' being a morph) could make their work *much* faster.Д®specially for the detailed work, where its not even clear whether certain morphs affect the part of the face you are interested, e.g. I would imagine something like a set of morphs which were selected & dialed in and out based on mouse motions, but if the deformations are directionally dependent it may be even more advanced than that. Judging by the changes to the nose width and jaw height though in that video (that I should have said is for the Sims 4 - still in development) they must be doing non-trivial modifications to the geometry, based on the changes occluding the environment. That's interesting to know about The Sims! I must re-install and take another look at it.

Maybe also with a 'heat map' - on top of the model - that changes as you hover over each morph, so you can see which vertices will be altered and by how much, and from that you can guess what the morph will do. Perhaps a plugin that maps between morphs and polys allowing you to click one part of a character you want to change, and then showing just the morphs that alter it. I also wonder though, how it could be retrofitted to work with existing IP. Just taking into account the time to find in the menu system a morph which alters one part of the character, this would improve the workflow quite a bit (for those of us that have too much installed and not enough of a memory anyway.) I can see the next generation of characters & tools being built to have this interface work alongside the traditional sliders.

Just saw the demo video that the makers of The Sims 4 have put out, and its pretty impressive.
