Carefree trait could use a nerf now.
I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be posting game balance issues here, or if The Sims is the wrong genre for that kind of thing. However, I would like to comment: Basically, if one gets the Carefree ...

Well you don't just get it but must spend 3000 points to buy it in the rewards store. Its purpose is to make it so that your Sim never gets Tense. That goes for both vampires and other sims.
And I'm OK with that. The problem is that it prevents the vampire daytime weakness from doing ANYTHING. The tense buff has the statistic modifier for vampire power, and everything that references the daytime weakness references the buff and not the perk. My proposed fix won't change the fact that sims never get Tense; it just allows secondary effects to be applied as well. An alternative solution would be to decouple the stat modifier from the tense buff.
So, you are saying that vampires should be able to spend 3000 points on a trait that they don't get any benefit from.
Not 'no benefit'. They still wouldn't ever get tense (i.e. the primary purpose of the trait is preserved), but it wouldn't be a free pass from practically all required vampire weaknesses.
If you preserved the weakness associated with being tense why should other sims retain their benefit from not being tense? If your answer is to remove all then the question arises "why have a tense moodlet" that does nothing.
