Editing Personality traits?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.the-sims-2 (More info?)

Hello all. I'm new to The Sims. (1 or 2.) I've created my sim and I'm now
trying to edit his personality. I see I can choose a astrogical sign for a
premade personality. However I'm unable to manually change the traits, as
it mentions in the manual (page 15). What am I missing here? I click on
the long bar on the far right and nothing happens. And I also click on the
bars on the bottom: Sloppy/Neat, Shy/Outgoing, etc. Nothing changes. Any
help appreciated! Thanks very much.

First you must make sure you have bars available to change the traits. You
can only have so many bars at once. Try clicking lower on one trait then
higher on another. Let me know if this works.

OK I got it now. You have to left click and 'erase' the traits to get the
bar on the right full. Then you add in what you want. (They don't mention
this in the manual that I can see.) Your tip about so many bar at one time
made me realize what I have to do. Thanks very much!

By the way I'm new to this game. All I ever played was RPG Strategy games.
What fun this is!!

All you have to do is click on the trait bar (notice there are coloured bars
and blank ones) to deselect points in any category. For example, if your
sim has 6 coloured bars in the neatness category, but you would like them to
have 4, click on the 4th bar in the neatness row. Your extra bars will now
appear in the bar on the right, and you can add them in any trait category
you like. But you only have a certain number of bars that you can allot, so
you have to remove bars from one trait before you can add them to another
trait. Hope this helps!
