I don't care much for the emotions, they need to fix traits. As it is, traits mean nothing. Instead of doing more than in Sims 3, they do less and we get a lot less of them.
In relation to emotions, traits should determine how they experience these emotions and influence their actions in that state.
If angry a mean Sim could feel better after winning a fight. A neat sim could go rage clean the house to feel better. A geek could unwind by playing violent video games. A jealous sim could feel better after seeing someone they hate suffer.
If energized a lazy sim could act like a normal sim, normally they should not.
When flirty, traits should determine how sims flirt. Not all traits, but some should affect it. Active sims would want to exercise together and might want to use their athletic skill to show off. A genius sim could want to impress with their intellect.
I guess that sims react to all emotions the same might be at the core of why all sims seem to be the exact same person in sims 4.
