All of my Sims have personalities, although It's 50% via gameplay and 50% in my head.
I've just came from playing the Goths which are a good example. I made Alexander Evil and he is almost at the top of the Criminal career track. I used Clubs to make a gang called the Goth Syndicate which operate very much like the local Mafia. He married Nina Caliente because her power hungry mother pushed her into it (my own imagined element) but they have a family together and Nina has actually grown to love him and would never stray (I toyed with the idea of her having an affair but decided against it because Alex and Nina turned out to be quite a good match)
I wanted Alexander to be infamous, and other sims to be afriad of him, so I used the celebrity ranking system and gave him a terrible reputation. I thought he needed some kind of business, like in the old gangster/mafia films they either have factories, or some kind of hangout place away from home thats making them money. So I built him an Italian restaurant that has a very fancy club hangout in the basement, where him and his cronies drink whiskey and discuss thier criminal empire.
All of the members of the Goth syndicate have thier own storylines too. One is a distant relative, who Alex forced his sister Cassandra to marry (I didn't make them actually related in the game, but gave them a similar surname so indicate there may have been a very very very distant ancestor to its not too weird lol) one is a descendant of an old family friend of Mortimers. One is his cousin (I bought back Michael Bachelor and gave him a son Alex's age). It gets kinda complicated as I also play thier households because they too have to maintain terrible reputations. Id love to do screenshots and run proper storylines for people to see, but with the amount of households I play to maintain my plots its impossibly time-consuming! But a whole heap of fun lol
I just noticed that I unwittingly gave all of Alexanders children the self assured trait. But I guess you would be self assured if your Dad was an infamous gangster and head of a criminal empire lol
