Current stand on Sims 4 AI and Traits

I totally agree with you. This version's sims actually seem like the least intelligent out of all the games. They definitely need a lot of work. Also yeah, we need more traits and I wish they were more profound.

From what I can tell, this seems to be a common opinion amongst the forum users, which I totally agree with!

Yeah, I just wish they had better AI and more uniqueness like with TS3 everyone was super unique with the said traits

Sorry for going off topic but what a beautiful family. :) Do you have a thread telling their story?

I agree with this.

At first I was thinking that maybe I was "favoring traits" as I often kinda put together sims that have the same type of traits.
But as I've tried to add different traits to my sims I've noticed that regardless of the traits for the most part, the sims will act the same and traits really don't affect them as much.

They do a bit, for example hot-headed sims can be a bit to handle because they randomly get an angry moodlet and can quickly spin out of control talking to others... but most others really have no real affect on the sims personality.

I really hope they work on the personality and traits a bit more too.

Yeah I thought the same as well ! I tried super different traits and it's still the same result which isn't really good

I wish they actually had made it like they showed in the first trailer (I think it was) where the sims traits/emotions really affected how they acted and they remembered grudges and things like that. Not sure why they didn’t follow through with that but it was a big mistake! Both emotions and traits are a bit useless as they are.

I dunno, my sims still manage to impress me. My sim and his daughter Robin were visiting his friends' (Valerie and Arvid) house so that Robin could meet their kids and hopefully make friends. During the visit, Robin started to play the violin because she's a creative sim. Valerie watched her for a little bit and was also sort-of dancing on the spot (I don't know why. Robin hasn't got the violin skill yet, so the "music" sounded awful, lmao) before she joined in and started to play her violin.

I've never seen this before, so I was really surprised.

Is it me or am I starting to realize my sims are WAY too alike at the point where they always troll teh forums or even just starve themselves for no reason

Sometimes on family runs like sims with the family trait they either watch the toddler constantly but not do anything or take care of them but not with the need that needs to be taken care of ( my toddlers end up going all up and arms like "Yeah I'll just take care of myself..." )

Kinda wish the AI got a little more work done and tweak the traits ( would be nice if we got more personality based traits than skills )

What do you guys think ?

My toddlers typically all get the independent trait simply for that reason. I got tired of my poor toddlers not being able to learn potty skills and the like without a parent who was unwilling to do anything but stand around and watch them do nothing.

That's super cool ! The closest of a unique moment I had was one of my toddlers bonding with the family pets afterwords pets started hanging out in the toddler's room even sleeping by their bed
