Help for traiting my sims

When in doubt I fall back on randomizing traits. Loyal is also the newest one which might bring some fun new gameplay.

Or I'll randomize their likes/dislikes and pick traits based off that.

Thank you. I do trait them it was easier than I thought it would when I got to CAS. Thought of feeling worn out was to bring the good point to getting aid to get them traits. Traiting them randomly defeats the purpose out the nice sims. Besides, for me the random traits throughs in trash. I did go realistically, I did it without this. My being tempered down to match traits naturally recently now.

I have a process for traiting sims that you may want to try, or just randomize (weee!):

Toddler trait: Randomized. I call this their "innate" trait. They're born with it and will dictate the rest of their life. I do not ever respin the trait, no matter what I get (even fussy).

Childhood trait: Chosen. I use either the Innate trait to choose the childhood trait OR their top skill if it's really lopsided. For example, an angelic toddler may get the trait good or cheerful whereas an independent toddler may get the self-assured trait or conversely a trait that is meant to denote being more of a loner. A toddler that maxes out on social but not any other skills may get the outgoing trait.

Teen trait: Randomized. I call this their rebel trait because it's not based on their parents or their innate trait. It's completely random and is part of them growing up and figuring themselves out. I never change or re-roll this trait UNLESS it somehow contradicts the innate trait or their attained skills. (A max in social skill is not getting socially awkward if it rolls to that).

YA trait: Chosen. I call this their Hereditary trait because as people get older they tend to turn into their parents or just pick up their parent's habits. I choose one trait that is from either one of their parents. If their chosen childhood trait or randomized teen trait was already a hereditary trait, I choose something based on their acquired skills, aspiration, likes/dislikes etc.

If you like Zoey and Hans together, but plan for them to split up later, then maybe one or both are Noncommittal. Or they have one trait that matches (like Creative and Art Lover) but also one that absolutely doesn't match (like Family oriented and Hates children).

Make sure your traits make sense and are realistic, for example I gave my first daughter her first trait which was self-assured, which means she tends to be more confident and well, self-assured, then when she aged up, I wanted to give her a semi bad trait so that I'm not just giving out good traits, I want to balance it out a bit. So, I (without thinking it through gave her the erratic trait, which used to be called insane trait). Well, these two traits don't make sense together because an erratic individual is unlikely to feel confident, except on occasion and probably for some insane delusional reason. I felt annoyed by this sim's trait set up, to the point that I was eager to have enough points to buy the re traiting potion. I ended up giving her the vegetarian trait, which is somewhat bad. It fit her personality and playstyle because she likes to meditate and is interested in wellness so naturally being a vegetarian fits with that. I don't really have a lot on my mind to say about this question. or Insight for you, I just looked at a guide that describes all the traits in the sims 4 and gives a brief description of how they work, and what there good for maybe you could get use out of that. It's under ultimatesimsguides traits. Search for something like that.
