  • Just from my experience, it appears that the self-discovery system needs some tuning as the traits are grouped into categories and any positive or negative interaction will pull a trait from the category instead of one that closely matches the interaction. For example, the creative category contains Creative, Art Lover, Music Lover, and Maker - so if your sim is constantly playing the piano the chance of Art Lover or Maker could appear before Music Lover. I'm going to guess the animal category contains Cat Lover, Dog Lover, Animal Enthusiast, and Horse Lover - so between the four, Dog Lover is appearing despite no interactions with dogs but since it involves animals the game's RNG is pulling that one.
