With the traits issue, I try to remember how TS3 handles them (it hasn't been that long that I've played, I just never really paid attention to these things), but if I remember correctly, they influenced a sims' autonomy much more than in TS4. Bookworms would be drawn to reading books when left to their own devices, while geniuses would often resort to playing chess. TS3 however also had some useless traits like daredevil. What exactly did this trait do except renaming certain interactions?
Daredevil made it so that the Sims didn't go into panic mode around Fire. Which if you think about it, in the World of Sims makes them stand out from 99% of the Sims. They also liked seeing people get divorced for some reason. The traits in general did a lot more in Sims 3, whereareas in Sims 4 it's just one thing, which is why they influenced so many more things in Sims3.
Most Sims 4 traits are simply useless, because of this shallowness. I think one of the best traits in Sims 4 is Active, because it actually influences the lifestate of your Sims but I can't think of anything else as game changing as it. The Traits seemed to be tied to Whims but since Whims are no longer core part of the game, the traits need to be overhauled to make up for it.
I agree with OP on just about everything, everyone in Sims 4 seems like every other one, not even making Evil Sim they just laugh sometimes evily but are otherwise just the same as someone who's Good. There's absolute no difference in Sim with only "negative" traits like "Evil, Jealous, Mean and Erratic" compared to a nice Sim who's "Loves Outdoors, Ambitious, Bro and Good" and any differences are skin deep.
