I give them a light backstory plus the most fitting traits and look to where it develops
Ivan Ivanovic, who was my first Sim ever in the Sims 4: He immigrated from some opressed country to "Sim City" after his parents died in an accident (or was it?) dreaming of living a better life. He rented the smallest suburban house he could find in Willow Creek and started off as a dish washer.
Being a total stranger to this country and his society but trying to fit in, he first got the traits loner, ambitious, and self assured.
He ended up meeting and marrying Liberty Lee (totaly went for her first name, and loving that she's such a goofball) and having the Twins Ivan Jr. and Ivana (both a little spoiled brats) and making career as an author (first for bad action movies, later for historic war documentations)
Dexter Bleak: I pictured him coming from a small village in the countryside, smarter than is good for him (probably being bullied for it at school) wanting to start off as a scientist right after university (happy to leave the backwater town, and his frustratingly simple parents behind)
He got the traits Genius, Geek - and Evil. (he just despises people for "getting bullied all the time because he's smarter than them - or calling him egghead.")
Somewhere along his career the Game made him meet a flirty, almost clingy alien female, who got pregnant and made him move into a house with a white fence, flowerbeds and everything else that yells happy little family (except the small secret basement laboratory behind double steel doors, where he can get some evil genius peace).
