Workaholic is a lifestyle trait from The Sims 3. It does not conflict with any trait.[1]
Workaholics love to work and rarely become stressed from working. Their mood suffers when they miss work, but they are able to make it up by working from home. Workaholics make the best employees.
Effects
Sims get a Mood boost when working and they work better in careers. If they stop working or not go to work or school, they will get Missing Work moodlet and will stay until the Sim goes to work or school (Work area for Professions), it cannot be removed by the Moodlet Manager. The only career that is not affected by Workaholic is Investigator. The only way to avoid going to work and to avoid getting the Missing Work Moodlet is to use Take unpaid time off which Workaholics can miss work without penalty.
Although it does not conflict with any traits (Only in Windows and Mac OS X), Joke about Work will fail if it is used on a Workaholic.
Other Sims are able to use the Mean social "Accuse of being a Workaholic". This social is negative.
In the Architectural Designer profession, Workaholics will give bonuses for placing a quality desk in their remodel.[TS3:A]
