More Traits in CAS

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. 

i would love to have more traits as an option but i'd like to add we need more basegame traits too

i know we get more traits but that's mostly in the pack only, there are things that can be in basegame like "loves children" to name 1 trait

only then once in the game we'll get more trait slots like you've described👍

agreed, the changing traits should stay in "Growing Together"

but more trait slots wise i think that part should be in basegame👍

ThePancake1 More Traits in CAS & RemoveSimsFrom Conversations are causing UI issues after Sept 18, 2025 update. This after an exhaustive MOD search. Those 2 mods are ones of the most interesting ones I've encountered, it would be nice if someone could reach out to the modders to let them know.

Yeah, sadly the more traits mod broke in the latest update (I had to remove it). It sucks when staple mods we rely on get outdated from updates (one reason I didn't mod Sims 3 till after they last updates/EP). 

But this makes me think some mods should be official features, cause if a popular enough mod, wouldn't that mean/be the equivalent to a top voted/like wanted feature anyways? And if able to be modder created, there isn't really a reason to make/lock under a pack. Just my opinion.

it only pops up with 3 trait choices. it's ALWAYS cheerful, active, and jealous. since the nature EP whimsical also pops up. 

if you have custom traits or just want something more meaningful and real than 'cheerful' for every sim, no, this does not work. 

I don’t understand your point, given that the Life gameplay is completely unreadable with all the expansions and options available. It’s hard to know what does what. Considering that traits can be added during gameplay based on the Sim’s activities, having character traits is great, but they should also have a meaningful impact in Life mode. Right now, with all this customization, you don’t feel any effect at all.

Please advocate for more cohesion between Sims and their environment, as well as their emotions, rather than further intensifying the individual customization of each Sim to the point where options have to be added to disable certain features in the settings, which is symptomatic of a gameplay cohesion problem.

I just got Growing Together and disappointed, you may get 5 traits, but it isn't that way in CAS, so I do think this should be updated like the mod. Just my thoughts.
