"There are reactions all over the place with many socials and activities affected."

These are so Cool!!!! Thank You Very Much @simgirl1010 for sharing the vid here! <3 <3 I am amazed by these changes and hope that The Sim Studio will continue this in the future <3

Cool, I’m glad sims will start acting more like their traits!

I'd still like to see a written overview so I could refer to it as needed.

Wow it’s actually more than I initially thought. Glad he made this video ?

@simgirl1010 I totally agree!

Is it an informative video this time or is he just complaining about everything again?
I like his written guides but his videos have been full of grumbling recently. I don't need his personal opinions about the game (I already have my own), so I don't want to waste my time on it if he's doing it again.

Here's what Carl talked about

• Good sims can help out other sims, reducing the duration of negative moodlets.
  
• Good and Cheerful sims will react with annoyance at mean interactions. Cheerful also reacts to gloomy, Good reacts to negativity.
  
• Mean sims love watching other sims fail.
  
• Sims clean autonomously if they haven't cleaned in a while. Doesn't matter if everything is clean or dirty, they just want to clean.
  
• Jealous sims can "talk it out," venting about their romantic troubles.
  
• Perfectionist increases the chances of painting a masterpiece.
  
• Gloomy sims will sniffle, even when they're not sad.
  
• Cheerful sims can "Look on the bright side" for negative moodlets.
  
• When Cheerful sims are happy, all of their negative moodlets decay faster.
  
• Hot-Headed triggers more often.
  
• Goofballs pull pranks autonomously.
  
• Clumsy sims might break things like dishes, while washing them. A good level in Handiness will help them break things less often, but it'll still happen.
  
• Sims with the Hates Children trait will be more visibly annoyed with twerps. They'll still autonomously react and bicker without being blocked by the emotion system.
  
• Geniuses can solve hard problems to gain Logic, and will get more Eureka moments in the Scientist career.
  
• Slobs might heckle others for cleaning.
  

Thanks! @Gordy

Great video, the trait changes does sound like they are pretty good.

They should have shared this on the patch notes, it's pretty difficult to give feedback, thank the sims team for them or even talk about these changes if we don't get told what they are.

But maybe they never really had the option to share it with us or this is the way they wanted to add it.

Nice to finally hear an overview of the changes to traits. The patch notes were so detailed for the visual upgrades (hairs and paintings) I wish they were equally detailed for gameplay changes.

@Gordy thanks for making the list.

I feel the same about his content. I like the informative article and even some of the videos but I have seen enough videos with complaints about the game.
