Observant Reward Trait Update Needed

The Observant Reward Trait has always revealed all the sim's traits when your sim introduces themselves to a sim the first time. This is extremely useful in many situations, personally most currently in the Detective career where one of the clues is always a sim's trait. However, after Growing Together brought the more-than-three-traits into the game, I've now had twice a situation that the trait that is the clue is not revealed by Observant sim greeting them, since npc sims have often more than three traits too. I can see that the sim does have the clue trait when I use simsinfo on them, but it doesn't come up in the info pop-up at greeting. 

This is obviously not a bug per se, it's simply how the Observant trait was coded back in the day, so I'm simply requesting that the Observant trait is fixed to cover more than three traits of a sim.

  • @Lumiasta   Hello!  I haven't done any testing but I've noticed several times my sims with the Observant reward trait aren't learning any traits upon meeting other sims.  I wonder if maybe the reward trait was just broken by the pack or patch for GRO.  Whatever the case, I agree that it should reveal ALL traits.  Thanks for sharing!

    I'm having this issue as well, but I don't have GRO. My only expansions are Get to Work, Seasons, Making Magic, and Vampires. And I'm playing on PS5, so no mods. Just noticed it for the first time today, it may have only started after I installed Vampires yesterday; my sim had the Observant perk before that.
