WOW! This is an astonishing coincidence, but I've spent the last two days working on an introvert trait myself! I'm going to try yours. Great Minds Think Alike!

Unfortunately i can relate to this trait. Staying home and indoors for long periods of time, and the "building relationships" is spot on too.

I've been dying for this trait to be made! No one gets being an introvert like another introvert, and you've totally made this particular introvert ecstatic!

Oh finally! I'm so introverted, I even hate socializing in The Sims! Most of my Sims have the Loner trait, the poor things...
Thank you!

An awesome mod. Being an introvert myself, I'd like to suggest the following:

- imaginary friend(s) - this also raises the social need
- slightly lowered work performance - due to daydreaming

This would make the trait totally spot on. :D

Great idea, but I have a problem with the name... or the implementation, depends on your point of view. You seem to have combined several different concepts and some of them are problematic:
1. Being introvert doesn't necessarily mean you dislike being outdoors. I am an introvert who likes being outside very much, and as long as "outside" doesn't mean "with people", it's not taxing for me.
2. Not everyone introverted is shy, not everyone shy is introverted.
3. I have no idea where did you come up with "relationships decay faster". That could, for example, mean that while extrovert considers someone friend when they only talk once in a week, introvert on the other hand would not consider someone a friend unless they talk to them EVERY DAY. For extroverts talking is pleasant and not a big deal. Introverts, on the other hand, might talk only to one or two people during a week, and be perfectly content. So you can expect that they talk to those because they LIKE THEM, not because they feel like it, as hours of chat leave them exhausted. Creating relationhips with us is not difficult because we lose interest fast, it's because we just can't chat everytime as an extrovert can. That doesn't mean we don't value people we don't talk to often, quite the contrary.

Yup, Tritin5 is correct. I only saw an introvert mod, grabbed it and never bothered to read the description. XD
Anyhow, a few concepts are really from different traits and thus non-introverted. Like:

- hating outdoors. Nope. Unless I have to "enjoy" the company of others. THEN it's not pleasant and I want to get away as fast as possible. Being outside on my own is exhilerating and very pleasant tho.
- relationship decay. Well, this is tricky. I'd like to say that relationships decay slower because I don't have the need to talk to people all the time. Seeing someone just once every three weeks is quite enough and I'm still friends with them.
- shy. Nope. I'm quite the chatterbox - if I want to, tbh. But I generally dislike being around people; because someone might try smalltalk and I'm not in the mood. Also: being around people and talking with them is very exhausting. One day of conversation's leaving me drained for at least a week and I really don't want to talk to someone else, then. At least not until my batteries are recharged.
- imaginary friend(s). I still have one, despite being married.
- lowered work performance. Yup. I'm daydreaming A LOT and my concentration span aint really that great. Cuz my thoughts starts wandering quite fast. Especially with a boring job.

Very nice trait; although I agree with Tritrin5. But people are diverse and some introverts will be more as this trait suggests while others will be different. So I still adore this trait.

I like it! How hard would it be to have it so instead of social decaying slower, the direction of the social bar is reversed? I.e. interacting with other sims causes social to go down, and spending time alone causes it to refill?

Introvert are NOT like this really, it's a misconception. I'M Introverted and not like this. I can be around other people AS LONG as I'm not made to join in their conversation. You could have it they get points for being around friends and family, EXPECT if something like small talk happens, then they loose happiness and need to be alone.

This might be better off being called a Shy trait. I made an Introvert trait that makes introverts focus on talking with friends (as opposed to strangers) and has their social actually increase faster and decay more slowly.

I get what you're saying, but I made the trait based around myself, and how I am like, not other introverts. Thank you for your advice though, i'll think about adding some new versions in the future.

What would be pretty cool would be if you made an understanding trait, it would be easier for the introverted sims to build relationships with the understanding person.
