Sports Enthusiast Trait (Teen-Elder)

DESCRIPTION
Sims with the Sports Enthusiast trait live and breathe sports, so it’s no surprise that they tend to stay fitter and develop athletic abilities faster than most other Sims. Some of their favorite activities include basketball, bowling, rock climbing, swimming, and watching sports on TV. These Sims also look up to Professional Athletes and become rather starstruck in the presence of local superstars.

It occurred to me (while watching baseball one night) that there weren’t any custom traits related to sports, or any that did what I wanted them to do anyway, so I was inspired to make my own, despite the limited sports-related activities our Sims can do (what, no football?). Also, I (and many others, it seems) think that basketball and bowling should be social activities, so with this trait, they can be.

See the pictures for more information, and feel free to let me know if something seems wrong or is difficult to understand–or even if you simply like the mod and want to say thanks. Feel free to make suggestions, too, if you think of something I may have missed. Enjoy!

No EPs or SPs should be required, but obviously you’ll need City Living (Basketball), Bowling Night Stuff (Bowling), and Fitness Stuff (Rock Climbing) to benefit from all that the trait has to offer.
