For other uses, see Loner (disambiguation).

Loner is a social trait in The Sims 3. It conflicts with Party Animal and Social Butterfly^[TS3:ST] traits.

Loners enjoy time spent alone more than time spent with others. Quite shy, they will never approach anyone that isn't a close friend. They prize their solitude and get nervous around large groups.
