The frequently Annoyed emotion slows Instrument and Housework skill growth and causes the Fun gauge to decrease rapidly. Poor relationship compatibility across the board means building friendships and romance requires significantly more effort. The trait works best for gameplay focused on career dominance and criminal paths, where the aggressive personality is an asset rather than a liability. Pair with the Criminal Careers for thematic alignment, or focus on solo income paths that do not require social networks.4848Tips5050The frequently Annoyed emotion drains the Fun gauge faster.
