More Traits in CAS
Only 3 Traits is so limiting. There should be 5 Trait slot instead of 3 for YA, Adults and Elders. Elder: 5 traits Adult: 5 traits Young Adult: 5 traits Teens: 4 traits Children: 3 tra...

thornwill, unfortunately, needed features are behind a paywall. Since it is through gameplay that was introduced via an EP, you need the pack. There are many pack I purchased because I needed the more fleshed out gameplay features. For example, without eco lifestyle, the off the grid lot trait is almost impossible to do. I need ways to produce power and collect water, which is behind a paywall.
I never knew this. It is funny I'd pay for it, but not if it is an EP I'd pay not to have LOL. I really don't like family and baby/toddler/children stuff/gameplay. I don't see how having more trait slots is family oriented myself, but I am sure they had a plan where it made sense to do this, but I do agree it does seem/come across as a base game basic.
I think the reason it is with growing together is because because the gameplay is programmed to not only over effect relationship views between family members, but they made it so gameplay can effect how the sim views themselves. So it kind of is a system tied to the specific ep. It doesn't seem fair, but that is how it works. Like for example, I want the "cuddle in bed" option from Lovestruck, but I am not willing to have the some of rest of the gameplay mechanics thatI will never use. It will most likely ruin my sims' relationships because I do not fo romance with svery couple. Some of my sim couples have almost no romance. You don't need family gameplay to enjoy growing together, but flashes out the gameplay mechanics that you may see as necessary.
I can understand that to an extent, but maybe just because I am Sims 3 spoiled, but it also seems like reaching. Actions/skills/unique features/premium objects I understand tied to a pack, and I totally get the frustration when someone wants just one thing. I personally do not see 5 traits as necessary (I mean I could cheat add them if I want), but I just would assume it a base game thing, it doesn't seem like an overly unique thing adding more traits in the create-a-sim. But as I said, it could just be I am Sims 3 spoiled.
Really you don't need families/children to enjoy Growing Together? What does it offer that is not family/children oriented? Because I will buy a pack if there is enough features that I think I could get use (and on sale LOL). Like funny enough, I took a chance at Lovestruck (because on sale), I am not the biggest on coupling and dating, but I have noticed my household has fleshed out some gameplay and depth, and they autonomously finally do some couples things (flirting/Woohoo and get flirty easier on their own, without my direction for a change). I haven't seen relationship decay or the negatives yet, but I am still trying it out.
The milestones are for any sim. While it helps make family gameplay more meaningful, it offers something for each sim individually.
