Lot Traits
I was curious what everyone's favorite lot traits are and why! (You don't have to have five but you also don't have to limit to just five either.) My top five are (alphabetical): Bracing Breezes (...

@LadyAofPineapple I like that about the lot challenges too.
There's a lot to like about the Simple Living trait in particular but it has it's drawbacks. It does require pretty full inventories/fridges and they can cause a lagging issue on console. Plus, I'm noticing that using the new "Switch to this household" option (which is great btw) is really problematic if the household I'm switching from has full inventories. It causes an impossible lag. So if I was playing Simple Living that would cause a real problem. I like to use it sometimes but it takes a bit more thought and planning.

I use the ones that make sense for certain lots, such as Wild Foxes if near a forest, Bracing breezes on the Windenburg island, Filthy for more run-down places. Basically I try to give lots a unique feel, and I only use most of the lot traits for community lots. For residential lots though, I always use Simple Living and Reduce and Recycle, as well as Maintenance Troubles and Mold (still deciding if these are too intrusive for every lot - I had to turn off Mold for a family of 6 sharing one bathroom because they were all dazed all the time lol). Also I use Good Schools for families that would send their kids to private school.
