I think at this point it doesn't matter how many traits exist because it will be always affected by the stupid flopped and broken emotion system that in my opinion is the reason traits don't shine and eventually sims will end up being all the same no matter how different I made them!
Yes. For example I could make a 'jelous' sim, and sure they get 'tense' while their lover is gone, but that's it. I want them to get like straight up angry and fight other sims for talking to them. Even being cheated on only makes them angry for a few hours and then it's business as usual. The emotion system can really work against any chance of good AI.
Traits like book worm, or cat/dog lover should skew a sims actions toward doing things related to that trait alot more often than other things. Instead we a rectcled social interaction, that looks and sounds the same as another social interaction, with a pen/cat/dog in the thought bubble. Really, what's the point. They don't act any different than any other sim, so the trait is completly useless.
They need something like the interests that they had in.. 2(?) Where they could just randomly pick up an interest while doing something and all of a sudden WANT to do something. Whims I guess sort of like that except there's like what 5 of them that cycle through, and are completly arbitrary, having to do more with environment and buffs than any hint of a personality. But we will not see anything like this in the game anymore, I think; definately not in sims 4 anyway. Disheartening.
