Is anyone else disappointed with the High Maintenance trait?

I am not particularly disappointed because I saw some of the early feedback and formed my expectations from it. I dare say it works as a "melodramatic" trait as well, except it is a type of maintenance since it can be abaited by wellness in particular.

*shrug* I can get your annoyance with the emotion deaths, but I have taken it to be more a challenge trait than necessarily a personality one and the situation you mentioned seems to be fairly challenging as it is. So I am not 100% what you wanted. You have a Sim that now struggles because even basic actions can give it bad moodlets and have it in a stressful situation on top of that. Did you want it to compound issues, because it kind of sounds like it did with all those emotion deaths.
