I wouldn't mind using this trait but I have a romantic sim. How would that affect my Sims relationship with his wife? Will he stop trying to autonomously flirt with her? (Because I wouldn't want that.)

looks interesting but my sim is typical asshole perhaps I will try it one day if there will be some priest mod or sth haha

Thanks so much...this trait adds to more of the real facets of a Sim's life. Now we need more churches with the appropriate liturgical animations. Good job!

Thank you! I love the idea of a spiritual trait, as my game is set up to include my religion. However, I like for my couples to be flirty with each other. It's one of the things I enjoy about them.

Thank you this is great.

No, he will flirt with his wife, but he should not get whims to do flirty things. He also won't get Flirty as an emotion.

I have used this mod and thoroughly enjoy it!

Lacking the angry moodlet makes sense but I'm not sure getting rid of the flirty moodlet does. Your description says you tried to keep the mod as generic as possible, but restrictions on sex/flirty behavior are pretty specific to a few religions. It definitely wouldn't work for a Pagan sim, for instance.

Definitely noted. The Sim will still do flirty things, but they won't get Flirty as an emotion, if that makes sense. It's not that the Sim won't flirt or be sexual with anyone, it's just that they won't have passion consume them -- however, I can work on a different flavor that can be a naughty-esque Spiritual trait, if that's something that's wanted.

Ah sad, but to be honest I didn't read that you made it for a Priest, which does make sense. Although many Pastors are married and have healthy relationships with their wives (husbands) and have loving families. To be honest I like the idea of being more pious but not being as strict as the clergy.

I wouldn't want my Priest to be consumed with the flirty emote and try to kiss everyone and flirt. That just wouldn't seem right so yes the current tuning feels good. Maybe make another Spiritual trait for married couples. You could call it something else like, "Devoted", "Spiritually Bonded", or "Blessed".

This is awesome! Please do update this trait with whims, it would make the game play for the trait so much more and add to a story progression. Thank you for your creativity!

I love the idea of this trait and would like to see it updated with more whims and such, but as a spiritual person myself I also have some feedback you might want to consider.

That bit about being "obsessed with spreading the good word" is just a tad insulting to me. I certainly don't speak for every spiritual person out there, but:
1) some spiritual people prefer to isolate themselves from society,
2) not all of us believe in actively trying to convert others or that there is a single path that works for everyone, and
3) you could have used a less judgemental word than "obsessed".

Just my little bit of input

I think you may be reading into my wording a bit. There's no way I could make a spirituality-focused trait that would have totally encapsulated every kind of spiritualism or every type of person, for that matter. Unfortunately, we don't have the capabilities in TS4 to make personality traits as multi-faceted as real life.

OK, I understand that - maybe I did read too much into your wording. Anyway - thanks for the work you've put into this trait, and I hope you do update it

Thank you! I'll try to incorporate everyone's ideas here to maybe have some different flavors so folks can have all types of spiritual Sims floating around.

I think your trait is just fine the way it is. Don't let anyone harass you into believing otherwise. A Priest should always spread the Good Word because God is Good all the time. (plus it makes it so you have an excuse to explain that your trait makes a Sim more social)

I like idea of trait, but no sure no auto flirty whim and emotion and angry really work for it. I know many "spiritual" people that get angry and/or have desire for lust... In some case anger and lust actually part of some "spirituality" teachings.


Even when a Sims' God drowns them in swimming pool or catches them on fire?

I love this and can't wait to apply it to my priestess.

This made me smile :-) Thanks!

Please do update it. It would be great to have a Christian, or Buddhist, or what ever trait.

I know allot of people have been reading more into your written description that what you meant. I'm actually pagan, and do get what you meant. It would be cool in the future for a version of this to include Flirty moods, but it's not a deal breaker at all. I'm looking forward to doing the Good and Evil combo.

You could create a mod that has your preferred label on it with your preferences. To confront a modder as having insulted you... this isnt the type of community where you do that. Take it or leave it, but youre not in a position of authority to expect an explanation to cushion your 'feelings'. I feel like a passive-aggressive attack on the modders view of spirituality happened here. We come to Sims to get away from that sort of thing, please dont bring that darkness to us here.

To the modder: I love this trait and will use it! There are sims in town whom dont need to be consumed by desires & could better serve the simpublic with his obsession to guide and counsel sims with problems.

This is awesome. Also, i like the commentator's idea about someone should make different religion flavors. I would love a Taoist trait, but I don't know the first thing about how to use that program.

thank u ...i will make my family that i miss soooo much :)lol
