Like most NPCs, Travis has a large number of skill points. He has maximized the logic skill, and is on his way towards maximizing the cooking skill. He has the same facial structure as Robert Jebar, Sim State University student. Travis is mostly interested in food and travel, politics, paranormal, crime, sports, and entertainment. Sometimes if he is made playable, his PlumbBob will be inside him, instead of above his head. This happens with several other NPCs in The Sims 2.
