Perfectionist (The Sims 3)

For the trait in The Sims 4, see Perfectionist (The Sims 4).

Perfectionist is a lifestyle trait in The Sims 3

Perfectionists spend more time cooking, writing or even painting, but what they eventually finish is noticeably better than something created by other Sims. Perfectionists accept nothing shy of perfection.

Attributes

• Perfectionists do most things better than other Sims, but it takes a bit longer for every task that benefits.
• Perfectionists can paint higher quality paintings, prepare higher quality food, and write better novels.
• This trait can help Sims become better architects.

Unlocked interactions

• Perfectionists can point out the flaws of other Sims in conversation, which is usually only available in mean interactions if a Sim thinks that another Sim is being rude.

Player notes

• Painting, writing, and cooking skills take longer to be raised than usual, but they are of higher quality.
• Perfectionists always do neat actions automatically, such as making their beds after waking up or cleaning their dirty dishes after eating. For this reason, Perfectionist is like the neat trait, but with added benefits at the cost of time.
• Perfectionists can also strangely have the slob trait.
• Provides a bonus to Sims writing in the historical genre.
• This trait adds to a few random activities, such as moving clothes to the dryer, recycling, and other things.
• Perfectionists are (mostly) always doing appropriate things, similar to the proper trait. However, with the inappropriate trait, they won't be as polite and sensible.
• Perfectionist Sims will never autonomously express any humiliation or embarrassment to other Sims.
