Absent Minded
Lifetime Wishes: none
Absent-minded is very much a negative trait to pick in the Sims 3. It literally helps with nothing, but might provide for a bit of amusement at first. Your Sim will randomly forget what they were doing.
Game Description
- Your Sim may find themself standing in a room, wondering how they got there.
- Expect your Sim to be forgetful from time to time.

If you have an absent minded Sim, be sure to remember what you're gonna have them do, because they forget A LOT.

So it helps your memory, because you can't afford to be absent-minded yourself. Good tip :)

Yes, you have to watch your absent-minded sims closely.
It is a good trait to pick only for the sake of character building, if you are making a sim similar to someone, for example. Otherwise, it doesn't add much to the gameplay. But I didn't find it so annoying with my absent-minded sim.

Another thing that I've noticed with one of my sims that's absent minded - she eats ALL the time, like she forgets that she ate and is snacking all the time on apples, and other fruits or vegetables. Most of the times she has the moodlet "Stuffed" because she eats all the time. LOLThey don't always drop the things you tell them to do, but they are the only sims that do that though, every once in a while.

Absent minded is purely a negative trait so if your optimizing traits Absent minded should just be ingored. However if you are stuck with a sim with the absent minded trait it's not a huge deal just make sure they do the actions you order them to (u can just tell them to shower then go to another sim) but other then that the worse thing this trait does is waste a little time

So if you queue up actions, absent minded will cause them to cancel prematurely? Ouch that does suck =pGreat guide btw Carl!
