What the Loves Outdoors trait changes in play
This trait gives Sims 5 moodlets of its own. Four of these pull toward a Happy mood with a weight of 1 or 2, while Cooped Up pulls toward Tense with a weight of 1. Timed moodlets from this trait last 4 hours, and those with no timer last while their cause lasts.
The trait also replaces usual moodlets with its own versions. Instead ofTense moodlets with weights of 3 or 5, your Sim gets Fine moodlets of the same weight. A usual Happy moodlet that lasts 2 days gains a stronger weight of 2 instead of 1.
Other replacements swap a Bored moodlet and a Happy moodlet for Fine moodlets that last 4 hours. Five interactions also check for this trait, including Enthuse about Outdoors and Comb Beach for Seashells. The trait does not add career pay bonuses or hidden multipliers.
