The dev said this is by design
I can't agree though.
@zirize Hello! I'm terribly sorry you are having problems too. I do think there are two separate things here. The Carefree trait was intended to prevent sims from becoming tense in uncomfortable situations. The no-touching quirk was intended to prevent sims from having physical contact. With or without the Carefree trait, the "perform scene" interaction would fail given the intent of the no-touching quirk. Without the Carefree trait, sims with the no-touching quirk would become tense from any physical interaction in addition to those interactions failing. As for your other post, I have no idea why sims would become angry. I haven't experienced that in my game. That one seems like a bug for sure.
Edit: After further testing, I do believe there is a bug conflict with Carefree reward trait and No-touching quirk!
@JonaO703 Thank you for replay. Lack of my poor English, I don't know how to say politely. In that my article, I wrote "angry(anger) animation" not "angry emotion". The problem of no-touching quirk mechanism is it's related to "certain tension emotion". As long as the sim has that tension emotion, "Anger animation(No touching quirk reaction)" never happens. Thus, the sim has no carefree or laid-back traits with no touching quirk, actuallly can performe act scenes. Considering sims can get no touching quirk extreme easily, some circumstances it is almost unplayable without cheats, in my opinion.
@humbelha137 Totally I agree with the dev that this is not a bug. Simply it's a really really bad game design. I believe if the dev play as much as their players, they will know this needs a fix. Honestly, that moment I was told "it's by design", I lost all my hope for the sims 4 and maxis.

@JonaO703 @zirize I have just managed to do some extra tests, and it appears that:
I am aware of the previous issue that you have pointed out, and whilst I am aware that the previous issue is in some sense by design, this issue is a consequence of such behaviour that leads to broken functionality here - unless of course the act is done with a romantic partner.
In short, I have good reason to believe that sims should be able to complete acting scenes with the "No Touching!" quirk, but when "Carefree" is added to this, it causes an oversight which prevents acting scenes from taking place, and as such perhaps this is a bug, since without the "Carefree" trait the acting scenes usually work.
