Do you have the Awesomemod installed? Pescado lists "stupid" as an abandoned EA trait that the mod reinstates.

[Alchemical_Rose]

I've never seen that trait before!

[Lushious_lozza]

ohh i do have awesome mod... thats where it came from thanks :)

That's why it's a really good idea to read what Pescado has actually done to the updated awesomemod instead of hastily downloading the newest version. ;) (Of course a lot of times he doesn't go into a lot of details about what he adds, but he did include the information about adding the stupid trait.)

I gave one of my created toddlers the traits Stupid and Clumsy because I wanted him to be..well..stupid. However he is determined to prove me wrong. While his 3 siblings are content with playing with a toy car or the dollhouse, he has maxed his skill on the xylophone and peg box. Then purely by accident, I found out that if you leave the children's books on the floor, the toddlers will learn from them by themselves. (I thought someone had to read to them). So I put them all on the floor and he's been like a little knowledge vacuum going from book to book. When he aged up to a child he had wishes to read logic books, so I let him. He is now a skill level 10 on logic and beats all the ranked chess players. Either he is one of those mentally handicapped people who excel at something like chess or he showed me who's stupid!

Man, you've got a child prodigy! It's kind of ironic, considering the traits you gave him, but still pretty cool.

gta3champion, your story made me laugh. That's great! It's so funny how there are times when Sims determine their own path in life, never mind what you had in mind for them. :lol:

[Lushious_lozza]

lol i think i might have the stupid trait LOL
i try real hard.. but i just never get there lol

[buckysinister]

That's really interesting. I've given the Stupid trait to a number of Sims, but never to one I actually intended to play. I had noticed that the lifetime goals of "Stupid" Sims are often things that don't seem well-suited to them (Chess Master, Science careers, things like that). I'd started wondering if that was a cruel joke, but maybe not. Heh. Wonder if the code just winds up pointing their behaviors to "Genius" instead?

[J. M. Pescado]

Lifetime wants are often determined by other traits as well, so yes, it is often cruel joke. There are other traits that can improve the skill gain rates in areas that the stupid trait hurts, so you can end up with an idiot savant this way.

[gta3champion]

Just to let anyone interested know, while my "stupid" child has maxed the logic skill and wins ranked chess games, he seems to take 4 times longer to finish his homework than his 3 school-aged siblings. Go figure. He is also absent-minded so I often have to keep redirecting him to do something because he forgets. He's adorable though. May just follow him through life to see what becomes of him.

I've been using AM almost from the beginning and I've never seen the stupid trait...where is it listed? Maybe I'm to STUPID to see it...lol!!!

[rafa323]

Have you updated edejan? It's fairly new (well a few weeks now).

[shadowemiko]

I like the stupid trait but feel bad for my sim's one kid who got it. It takes him so long to finish homework that he doesn't even finish it in school. And only his dad (max logic) can help him get even half done. His only want ever was for an activity table and to collect a rock. He was perfectly happy with the horse toy. So I guess it varies... Maybe he'll just be a collector.

[SoopySoop]

I found the Stupid trait while making a sim yesterday and felt completely stupid, because that was the *only* trait available. ^^;
Is that a AM glitch or is something conflicting?

[jonha]

Is that a AM glitch or is something conflicting?

Something is conflicting with all the other traits, so only awesomemod's one is visible.

[J. M. Pescado]

AwesomeMod loads its own traits from a seperate traitfile, which is why AwesomeMod's traits can load even if you have corrupted your regular file. This issue is caused by someone else's old, crappy mod, though. So get rid of all your other crap.

[valentinevar]

Pescado, is it possible you can release a non-core mod with the stupid trait and any other traits you added to awesomemod?

[Kittenm]

I looked stupid is the only trait it came with. Too bad people with the stupid trait cant be bookworms. I have a friend who is EXTREMELY stupid in real life but LOVES books :rofl:
