Unlucky was a really interesting trade I think in Sims 3 and I'd like to see it return as I think it would really work well in Sims 4 I would also like to see the brave and cowardly traits return cuz I feel like those were some pretty unique traits and that they would also work well in Sims 4 also I would like to see the proper and overly dramatic traits return as I thought those were really fun your sim being able to pretend to pass out I would just love to see that return to the game whether it's a trait or not for the proper trait it also be nice to have a tea set to go with it and have those Sims like to throw tea parties and of course it always be dressed formally cuz that worked really well in Sims 3 I think also the bowing and curtseying was nice toare there any things you would like to see go at these traits if they're added to the game are there any other traits you would like to see added to the game either one's you came up with or ones that were in previous games before that you think would work really well in Sims 4 do you want to see the unlucky and proper and brave I'm cowardly traits return

Yes, I would love to have more traits from TS3. I would especially love a Neurotic trait, but I would also love Brave with a fear emotion added. I miss Proper, Brooding, Rebellious, Shy, Socially Awkward, and Nurturing too. Another trait I would like to see return is Eccentric, but I would prefer it to be less about inventing things and more about being 'quirky' and creative. I also think a Cultured trait could work well, which was a hidden trait in TS3. These sims could enjoy talking about art, books, films and gourmet cooking, gain creative skills more quickly or just enjoy painting and reading etc. more, and get happy or inspired buffs at libraries and museums perhaps.

a cultured trait is a good idea I feel like it would work well in sims 4 @annaliese39

There are so many options. Absent minded, Diva, Technophobe, Brave, Perceptive, and Socially awkward were top faves of mine. I'd like to see temporary traits too like traits only teens and children can have. I hate that personalities are so 'solid' for kids. Kids personalities often change. Don't get me started on a game that was all about personality and emotions both systems are disappointing.

Here are some traits I'd like to see:Vain - these Sims love to preen in front of the mirror and hate being dirty or unfashionable. They get very embarrassed if they have a bad hair day or a spot.Cheapskate- these Sims avoid lavish spending at all costs and get tense when having to spend large amounts of money (although I suppose Freegan comes close to this). Spoilt- These Sims get angry when things don't go their way. They are prone to tantrums.Fussy (as an adult trait)- These Sims are picky about everything from their food to where they hang out. They get tense when in an environment that's not to their liking.Timid: these shy sims don't like to make too much noise. They run and hide from any fights or danger and get very embarrassed if they find themselves the centre of attention. Macabre: these Sims have a fascination with all things creepy. They love horror and aren't bothered by gross things.

? I love the idea of a diva trait too. Never played the Sims 3 but the proper and rebellious traits sound like fun.

What about Speed Writer? I've noticed that when my Sim is in a flirty mood, I get her to write a romance novel but it takes so long to write the book that the mood wears off almost midway through writing.

That's a great idea. There's the speed reader reward trait so why not speed writer as well? And speed painter.
