I think they forgot the childish sims. They always play with toys. They didnt do that as much in the past.

Not happy about hot-headed sims won't be targeted as much for mischief interactions as I was planning to have a mischief club versus a hot-headed club.

If you create those clubs where club activity involves pranking those hot-headed sims, the game won't care.

Not happy about jealous sims. I knew my jealous sim just seemed like every other sim...?

A youtuber called onlyabidoang has made a video showing off those trait improvements.

Additionally, another thing may change. You remember that "sims who hates children won't accept Try for baby interaction unless dazed"? Well, that workaround will be removed soon. Youtube channel Simmer Erin has posted the twitter post on her YouTube community.

Though for now, it seems like this discussion will go into some short of hibernation state until more trait improvements come. If you have any experiences, pictures, tweets, videos etc to share, feel free to do it here.

Yesterday in my game I was finally blessed to see my Clumsy Sim drop the dishes in the sink, while he attempted to wash them. LOL I also have a couple of hot-headed Sims in this same family. My Global Superstar is a Goofball, his older brother is the Hot-Head, like their Dad and the next younger brother is Clumsy. He's also a Genius. Joey's girlfriend, one of the Golden triplets has the Neat Trait. It's not a trait I've played with much, but I'm liking it. She'll go on a cleaning frenzy, or tear, can't recall how it's worded. And Erik often pulls the vacuum cleaner from his inventory and will spontaneously vacuum the dorm. All-in-all, this group works well together.

@iamoz96 I'm not finding the Goofballs boring at all. My YA Global Superstar is one. He got pranked and returned the 'favor'.

I guess I'm going to have to be a killjoy. Trait "improvements"? I wouldn't really call them "improvements." In particular..."polish to perfection." Whose idea was that? Just what I didn't need in my game. More "over-the-top" autonomy. Now (at least in my game) Venessa Jeong wants to "polish to perfection" some household object every two minutes. If it's not the shower, it's the stovetop, or the toilet or Eric Lewis's bald head. Is that something that players wanted? Now every two minutes I have to stop her from polishing something. I mean, never mind about her acting career or her relationship with her fans, there's a toilet that needs polishing! The only thing I want Venessa to polish is her husband's....um, never mind.

Cheerful sims shouldn't put other sims in a tense mood outside their cheerful trait, it should only be triggered when in the correct buff first and then the tense moodlet coming through afterwards so it makes sense. That should be looked into.

There are times where i've seen sims get tense from cheerful sims and they don't know them, so how can they know they are cheerful without asking to find out first let alone know how to get tense? There is a missing bit of logic to the idea of how it works out because as it is these sims getting tense are doing it for no actual reason.

Neat sims now appear to have a severe form of OCD going on. i was at this one gym with a sim and there were half a dozen sims rotating around seeing who can reach the various objects that are already clean to be even more clean, it looked really silly, worse still some sims were being kept from going to the bathroom to relieve themselves or shower after some exercise. If anything Neat sims are now just in the way rather than as a bonus.
