According to the patch notes, the following traits have been updated:Bookworm, Cheerful, Clumsy, Genius, Gloomy, Glutton, Good, Goofball, Hates Children, Hot-Headed, Jealous, Mean, Neat, Noncommittal, PerfectionistAnd there are two more traits that received a update in some short of reactionary form:Slob and AmbitiousAs I am curious, I'd love to find out more about this. And sometimes other players notice more things than I do.So let's team up together and find those trait improvements! Shall we?According to the live stream, bookworm sims should now gain more fun from reading books, so that's one down. Let's find more!

Genius sims have a new self-interaction: "Solve Hard Problems"This action lasts for some time and builds their logic skill. After that the sim has to wait for some time before they can do it again.

I'm so happy about these changes! I play a lot of bookworm and genius Sims, and it's nice to see that they haven't fundamentally changed but get to express their traits better.

Nothing for childish sims??Great thread btw! I'm on a sims break but ill be watching. I think it's more fun that they didn't tell us lol?

I'm now playing a family with a clumsy & neat sim and another sim who hates children. This far I noticed that the neat sim is able to "polish to perfection" things that are already clean. The interaction doesn't go away. Other sims don't have the interaction available.Edit: She can also clean objects like dining table, desks and make-up table that aren't normally available.

Indeed neat sims can now clean objects that are already clean. The Polish to Perfection renaming comes from Bust the Dust kit.Tables usually don't get dirty during normal gameplay. You can make them dirty with cheats though...Well then. Now I couldn't find more. So it's time to play longer and pay attention. I'll make comments if I notice improvements that haven't been brought out yet.So yes, if you notice any improvements, post them here. Let's see how many can we find! Perhaps SimGurus can give little hints... ;) Anyway, thank you to those who have already commented here! Let's find out other differences together, shall we?

I am currently playing Izzy Fabulous, because he won the lottery in my game. Anyway, he has two of the traits that have been updated, Cheerful and Genius. Haven't noticed anything for Cheerful yet, but after his shower, he got this notification: Izzy had a Eureka Moment! Being a Genius, this gave them a boost to one of their more practiced skills.

Great! These are the exact things they need to keep adding. I hope they plan on updating all the traits in some way beyond the group they did this time. They are actually LISTENING! About time when it comes to traits! :)

My Sim has the Neat trait. The shower is now faster and when I click on the counters, I get an option saying Polish To Perfection

Trait overhaul is much needed. I was hoping they would update whims to go with overhauled traits too. Guess it is too much to ask.

Maybe they changed it specifically to be used by Neat sims (I don't know, as I've not updated yet). Polish to Pefection had been coming up as an interaction for several of my sims after the kits pre-patch, and not a single one of them had the Neat trait.
