How Much Personality Do You Give Your Sims?

I don't make my own sims very often. I have a total of three sims made by me in my game. I mostly prefer to play with the premades. When it comes to personality I check their traits, aspiration and general look and build off that to imagine how I think their personality will be.

Oh I do that too ! Getting new premades is like getting a new puzzle, you have to figure out who they are, what they're like, it's so fun.

I try to give a lot of personality to the sims I play. Reward traits and parenthood values traits help flesh them out a bit, I don't switch aspirations if they've completed the one that fits them the most, it just stays there forever.
They also all have at least one hobby, could be baking, could be photography, could be video games, could be anything skill related really. One of my artist sims is really into wood sculpting. They have color schemes and a fashion style of their own.
Their job too, I use MCCC to lock the career level that fits them best, and the money they make determines where they live and how.

If I play them and the traits they display don't match how they act, I can change it for a better suited trait. Children especially, i.e Billie Jang never once acted like a goofball so she's self assured instead now.

Also Zerbu's Simology mod. This is the one that allows you to set what Emotion an action will give. The cool thing about this is you can even set music genres and TV channels, so you can make a Sim get Angry from listening to Pop and Energized when listening to Alternative, haha.

The simology mod sounds so interesting, thanks !
