That was a good video.
To me the main issue is the lack of personality in the sims 4. The trait system would be fine if we also had a personality system, like sims 2, where you can vary widely on certain personality categories like outgoingness, neatness, kindness, etc. Right now we just pick 3 traits and that's suppose to be our sims personality. It was either here or on that videos comments but someone said that some traits don't even makeup an actual personality. Like you can have a sim who is a cat lover, a dance machine, and a vegetarian. That's not a personality. Those are just characteristics.
Some traits are actually good for personalities like Evil, Neat, Jealous.(although this trait only seems to work for relationships, I believe.) But the trait system is so weak, as stated in the video, it makes what little personality our sims may get pointless.
I desperately want them to overhaul this aspect of the sims 4 but I don't even think its possible. That's basically asking them to make a completely new game 5 years after it launched.
