Emotions Are Important
I saw some people claiming they'd put Emotions dead last on the April 2020 survey. Why would anyone do this? Keep in mind that a lot of our gameplay/DLC features rely heavily on this system. EX: RO...

The choice "Emotions" was meaningless, because there was nothing indicating WHAT would be done with emotions. I didn't know what they meant, so I put it in the middle'ish.
I hope it means, for example, if my sim is Energized and I tell it go take an "Energized jog"...the sim won't STOP jogging because it stops being energized in the middle of the run. Same with the energized shower option, they get out when the "emotion" is gone. "man, you're not clean! Get your behind back in there!" Really annoying. So yeah, if they're doing something about that, I'm all for it.
In my opinion, emotions are fine (although, we do need fear). Traits need some work though. They need to be more powerful and actually impact sims a lot more. Also, whims according to their traits, and that they actually DO the whims autonomously. Actually, while they're at it, make whims more meaningful as well.
