For me it's several things.
I have a save where I play with Sims based off TV show characters and in that one I tried to fit their traits, aspirations, behavior, and everything that they do when I'm playing them from how I already know them from the show (and my own ideas about them because it's not just replaying the show's storyline).
Sometimes I build first and then create a Sim that I imagine would live in the house I built. Again, then I match the traits and aspirations and outfits to match my idea of them.
Honestly, most of the time they have plenty of personality in my mind. I know which Sim is likely to get into trouble, which Sim is likely to spend time outdoors or indoors. The ones I can't really imagine personality details for get left behind. it's more instinctual than anything and then their actions and outfits get molded around what I imagine the Sims to be.
Since the game is a storytelling playground for me, it's a mix of the available things (traits, aspirations) and my thoughts.
But then I've also done a randomize challenge and a StorySim challenge (randomly answer questions in the Story Mode in CAS to create a Sim) and the personality kind of develops from there.
