I think they’re finally making these little changes because EA is finally letting Maxis do what they want to an extent. We have no idea of the gurus have wanted to fix it but weren’t allowed to.

I'd have to wonder though, why would EA not let them fix traits?

Tight purse strings would be my guess. ;)

Why wouldn’t EA let them fix a lot of the problems with the game? My guess is that to them it’s not a priority since enough people are still playing regardless.

Wow....I didn't realize that.

Is painting considered fun?

I think it is but it’s limited to creative sims.

Ah ok, that's fair.

I wonder if there are any other traits where the sims doesn't receive extra enjoyment when they should.

I've never understood why gardening doesn't provide entertainment in TS4. It always did in previous iterations of the game, aside from the fact that it's, you know, fun (at least for those of us who willingly choose to do it) in real life.

I have an evil club with "be mean" as an activity and I can set off a gathering and witness no mean interactions.

I think it might be because the clubs are bugged in this senario. I had a kintting club but my sim is the only one who does the assigned activity during club gatherings, same with my spellcasters club. I hope they tackle this bug next because it makes clubs kinda useless. It was reported by a few other simmers as well.

It seems like "Loves the Outdoors" trait should make Gardening fun?

I love the outdoors but hate gardening. ?

Lol well maybe a Green Thumb type trait should make Gardening more fun?

You would think so, but no.

After a Super Green Thumb interacts with a Plant, it will stay watered longer, get less bugs, and an increased growth rate. This means you will harvest more from your Gardening efforts and not need to interact with Plants as often. This doesn't affect Evolution rate or growth of Weeds, however.

I also have a knitting club, and what I did was gift knitting baskets to all the members so they'd have one in inventory. It worked, but they rarely knit...
