and @bookwyrmme, learning all those hidden trait things and using the custom careers (and the club system!) can be a godsend for crafting your own world. that seems to be what i've been doing more of lately than actually playing the game, going in and tweaking characters i've had for years or creating/editing new additions to my various stories or sims that will make good additions or stories of their own when i have the time to work on them

like i've got a minimum of 3 custom careers i use for different vampires i don't want to get 'real' jobs, depending on if they're meant to be rich ancient bloodlines, rebellious new types or what. and my plantsim adventurer/archaeologist has a custom 'adventurer' career since the game loved to make him a bartender if i left him unplayed. learned the hard way that you want to try to give custom careers to as many townie spellcasters as you can, too, since even the 'spellcaster premade' hidden trait doesn't stop the sims from wearing their work outfits (mostly bartender, maid, pizza delivery or postal worker) every time they enter the magic realm
it's also nice to sculpt ghosts the way you want, having specific individuals of specific death types (i even have one with two death types, since i was curious if they stacked or overrode each other) or whatnot. and i tend to give them the 'don't need to eat', 'don't need to sleep' and associated traits, with exceptions. like starvation ghosts don't get the 'don't need to eat', murphy bed and exhaustion ghosts don' get 'don't need to sleep'
you can also use it to sculpt your roommates/dormmates... say you wind up with 5 out of 8 dormmates with the 'mealmaker' trait. that's just way too much food, so can remove the trait from a few and give them something else instead. i like to ensure there are maybe 2 mealmakers, tops, as well as at least one breaker, one fixer and one cleaner. sometimes multiple cleaners. and if you really like to stay in control of sims, reducing the number of pda roommates/dormmates is great, since those sims keep spawning random boy/girlfriends instead of reusing the same one (similar to bar regulars, since those lose their jobs the instant you leave the bar lot)
