UPDATE: Updated Social Interactions for 1.96.

Supported Overlay: Please consider using this overlay pack here which comes with some tweaked overlay defaults + a face overlay for some of the traits featured here, OR, you can use the separate allergy overlay now included in the folder. Both overlays are a blush by WeepingSimmer , with much thanks to their TOU allowing makeup edits with credit.

This mod used to live on my tumblr (here ) but now MTS will be considered its home.

All traits are in separate packages within one zip, so if there is a trait you don't want, you can delete its package.

Here's what each trait does:

Alien Hater: “Alien Haters despise aliens and are disgusted by their very existence”
Type: Personality, Social
Features: Angry proximity buffs from both aliens (+2) and sims involved in alien pregnancy (+4)! Alien Haters can also complain about aliens, making non alien hating sims Embarrassed (+3) and fellow alien hating sims Happy (+5, because it's hard to find someone else sharing the haterade :p), each for 4 hours. Alien Haters can also hurl Anti Alien Insults and make Aliens tense (+5) from their hateful words. They can also insult alien genes when they feel angry about a nearby alien pregnancy. Alien Haters now give a +4 tense buff to nearby aliens. Alien Haters will receive a +2 Angry buff when witnessing an alien getting married.
Requirements: Get To Work (because aliens)

Compatibility
The Hay Fever trait adds broadcasters to the flowerArrangement_WiltEffect_Normal and flowerArrangement_WiltEffect_Pristine object states of floral arrangements because objects don't take kindly to proximity buffs. These object states, unmodified, do absolutely nothing (like for real, they're just there), so there shouldn't be any conflicting mods overriding them.


Notes
I heard loud and clear about moodlet balancing from the Chat Pack responses. Unfortunately, the nature of these current traits I don't feel like they call for smaller moodlets (since they're meant to add some misery for your sims), but for future traits I would love to consider some traits that would go well with moodlets that have less weight.
