Shy
Lifetime Wishes: none
The Shy trait is a personality trait, primarily. It doesn't have a big impact on gameplay but will change how your Sim behaves. They'll have a harder time making friends. Shy is like the polar opposite of Star Quality and Party Animal. Personally, I'd prefer loner. At least they get the enjoying solitude moodlet.

Thalassicus at our forum points out that Sims gain a +10 moodlet when near two Sims with which they have +40 relationship or higher. If 1 or more Sims are nearby (around 5 tiles) who are not a friend. They have a harder time socializing, and will hang out in the bedroom more often autonomously. These Sims cannot skinny dip, as the never-nude trait is built into Shy. This mainly blocks the +25 "Exhilarated" moodlet of Late Night hot tubs.

Game Description

  • Your Sim has a harder time making new friends.
  • Your Sim will feel uncomfortable around a group of non-friend Sims.
  • Your Sim will feel great around a group of friends.
  • Your Sim will be reluctant to socialize with Sims who aren't friends.

in my experience, shy sims always refuse to make out and woohoo. it doesn't matter if their relationship score is maxed out or even if they're completely alone in a room.
