What the Disruptive trait changes in play

Disruptive Sims have two hidden multipliers that combine with other effects in the game. A ×0.5 multiplier slows down their friendship gains, so making friends takes more work. At the same time, they get a ×1.2 multiplier to skill gain for cooking skills.

This trait adds 4 moodlets that have no timer, meaning each lasts while its cause lasts. Need for Chaos adds 2 weight toward Tense, and Why So Gullible adds 2 weight toward Playful. Bundles of Nerves adds 1 weight to Dazed, while Such a Rebel adds 1 weight to Confident.

The game also checks for the Disruptive trait in 2 interactions. These interactions are Distort an Obvious Truth and Give Bad Balance Advice.
