How the Slob trait changes moodlets and actions

The Slob trait blocks Uncomfortable moodlets that usually have no timer. Your Sim ignores Icky Plumbing, Bad Surroundings, Unpleasant Surroundings, and Filthy Surroundings. Filthy Surroundings normally has an Uncomfortable weight of 3, so blocking it keeps your Sim in a better mood.

Instead of feeling bad, a Slob Sim can get the Natural Dirt moodlet. This gives a Happy weight of 2 for 4 hours, which is 240 Sim minutes. The trait has no hidden skill or need multipliers, and it gives no career pay bonuses.

The game checks for the Slob trait on 6 interactions. Your Sim can Argue about Cleanliness, Mock Cleanliness, and Throw Away items. They can also Pee in Pool, Play In things, and Taste Fountain's Contents.
