Do you use lot traits?
It depends on the lot and household I'm playing but not all the time

I don't normally because a lot of the time I'm playing challenges so the ones that give skill advantages feel cheaty even if they're usually allowed. The rest of the time I forget about them. I probably use them on community lots more then residential ones.
However I am currently playing the 100 Baby Challenge and I put my baby mama in a trailer so I decided to give it some negative lot traits because it felt right and gives me something to have the family work towards getting rid of over time and I have to say I am really LOVING it. Seriously it gives the whole thing a bit of unpredictable chaos which is really adding to a lot of fun. Not sure I'd ever go the route of having all negative traits again anytime soon in the future but I might start throwing stuff in every once in a while.
Among other things I have discovered while doing this is that Toddlers are effected by the Cursed lot trait!
@bshag4lv just be aware with the Gremlins trait that sometimes it can happen on the nightly. I tend to only make my sims with that lot trait repair everything every other time it happens (and just replace it and refund them the money the other times) or it would have to be repaired constantly which is good for raising the handiness skill but detrimental to getting anything else done during the day lol. To avoid it having it happen altogether have a sim stay up past 12 am the Gremlins won't show up if there's someone awake that could witness them. (They obviously don't physically appear at all either way but that's the way I think of it) And keep an eye on your sims moodlets sometimes it's not obvious that they've been shocked especially if they have other traits over-riding the dazed trait but if they get shocked again while having the dazed moodlet they can die.
