Competitive trait

The biggest advantage of the Competitive trait is the ×1.25 multiplier on skill gain for all skills. This hidden multiplier works alongside other skill boosts in the game. The trait also unlocks two interactions that check for it, Pressure to Abdicate and Research Competitive Metas.

This trait replaces several standard moodlets. It blocks the Bored Gamed-Out moodlet completely, and gives the Focused Good Gaming Session moodlet a 4 hour timer. Instead of a weight 1 Happy Moving On Up moodlet, your Sim gets a weight 5 Confident moodlet for 8 hours.

Other moodlets also change. The Embarrassed Rethinking Options moodlet becomes an Angry moodlet for 8 hours. The Sad Fired moodlet becomes It's Their Loss, which cuts the Sad duration from 1 day to 12 hours. Competitive Sims also get 29 unique moodlets, including a weight 10 Focused moodlet that lasts 2 hours.

The Competitive trait is available for human Sims from the Child stage through the Elder stage. It conflicts with the Lazy trait, meaning you cannot pick both for the same Sim. The ×1.25 skill gain bonus suits Sims who want to build all skills faster.

You can select the Competitive trait directly in Create a Sim if you own the Adventure Awaits pack. In gameplay, the Make Real interaction can also give this trait to a Sim.
