@Sigzy05s post demonstrates how effective and in depth the Sims 3 traits are. The sims 4 traits are so weak by comparison. That’s a fact.
Traits are a huge issue. My evil sim is the nicest sim in the neighbourhood, constantly giving out hugs and chatting away to everyone and anyone he meets. The only clue that he is “evil” is that occasionally he stops to manic laugh. Newsflash EA; a manic laugh does not an evil sim make.
My other sim hates children and she lives with her sister and her toddler nephew. I’m not exaggerating when I say she spends more time with this kid than his Mum does. (And she’s not a bad parent) But for someone that hates kids she adores her nephew (even though they are only acquaintances) she seeks her nephew out, initiates play, checks on him even though he is not a care dependent. If you watched game play for a few minutes you would be forgiven for thinking they are Mother and son not a child hating sim. Allegedly.
Sadly I don’t think this will be fixed. I don’t believe EA consider it broken and they don’t want to upset the Apple cart by giving sims personality and making some traits a bit stronger as I don’t think a lot of the community would like that.
