The Shy trait also appeared in The Sims 3 for Nintendo DS. It conflicts with the Outgoing trait. This Shy trait is more similar to Unflirty from The Sims 3, even sharing its description, compared to the Shy trait from Late Night.
Shy Sims do not appreciate the romantic advances of others and will be difficult to woo. It's not that they don't want to love, just that it's difficult for them.
