🌸New Traits Ideas🌸

But I think there must be a more comprehensive but basic way to look at personality traits. Like a lot of things boil down to basic levels of assertiveness, confidence, trust (in others, or tendency to distrust), compassion, that sort of thing, and the limitless array of traits possible, all so specific, could be generated from fewer, but more broadly interpreted and inter-affective, traits, such as those basics, if they exist not as on or off, but with a slider as to degree.

I agree- I think that sims should be able to gain (or lose) "points" for each slider- so they can grow as a sim :)
