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 ...

It has no other secondary effects.
The current behavior of the carefree trait is so that a Sim (vampire or other) doesn't get tense with the associated negative effects. There is a reason why it is so expensive to buy.

It was 3k points before the vampires expansion introduced this. And it didn't need to be nerfed then because the tense buffs in the base game were generally inconsequential otherwise.

That may be but the talk was about being tense.
Like I said, I'm perfectly fine with blocking out the tense mood. Those secondary effects, though, are what the real weakness here is, so they should be preserved in some way, shape, or form.
Then I take it you would also like to retain the negative effects off Working hard (School/Work) since the Carefree trait also negates those.
No. What I'm talking about is the secondary effects from the tense moodlets themselves that should be preserved. (From what I've noticed, working hard only reduces the Fun motive, as well as adding a tense moodlet. Both of these effects are blocked by the carefree trait, which IMO is part of the point. So it's fine.
