Do you use lot traits?

I picked 'No' but I should've said 'Sometimes' because I do use the Private Dwelling lot trait. When I remember it's there to use. I loved the idea of them at the beginning until I discovered that you can't toggle/cheat to turn off the light bulbs, plus signs and stuff that float around their head when it's active.

I take a TON of screenshots and it ruins them so I don't use them 99.9% of the time. It's a shame I can't, because they're very useful otherwise. I had hopes for a patch to include some way to temporarily turn the swirly floaters off, but alas, it hasn't happened. *shrugs*

Plus, it lags my game to have too many of them active at the same time on my lots. So there is that too. Oh well...

Happy Simming! <3

I like lot traits as yet another way to take a bit of control over making the same lot type different from each other (on top of decor and clubs). I don't use them on every lot, though.

Yes! I really enjoy the lot traits so my homes always utilize them. They're wonderful for setting the atmosphere and telling stories.

Yes, I always use Private Dwelling. Others not so much.

Yes. Gotta get all those stray cats to come over. <3

To be honest, I do when I remember...which is at least half the time. So half the time I don't.

I use them all the time because it motivates me to take my sims out. Peace & quiet at the library, faster fitness gain at the gym, etc.

It gives lots a very nice personality. Some places can be the best and most comfortable place ever, some can be the most inspiring places, and some can be very cursed and haunted.

Private Dwelling for my loners. I don't always use them but I do for certain circumstances. I just recently finished a legacy so I had the Ley Line one to increase my chances of twins, or if I want to play a household with lots of drama I might give the house a Mean trait. Mostly I just forget but there are situations where they're needed and I remember to add them.

Exactly my reason for keeping them restricted. It is SO annoying! Though I am against using mods personally, I actually used to have a mod that would hide them, I wonder if it's up-to-date and still available.
