I find that negative traits in TS4 don't really do much unless we're talking super specific situations. The only one I know causes drama and interesting situations is the Hot Headed trait, but that's only if your story needs many arguments and fighting. Hot Headed sims randomly snap at people and kick trash cans, so that makes for interesting stories sometimes, but other traits are just kind of....there. So to me it doesn't really make a difference whether I use them or not. I could give a sim all negative traits and she'd still mostly be a sweetheart :D
I guess that depends on how you look at it. I decided to load up that family again that I just posted about and with them. Elden is slamming fridge doors and tense, he keeps getting a mood that says he want's to escape this family. He's scowling most of the time. Yes he does go back to smile state though now and then but I think the general discomfort of his needs/household and moods is basically keeping him and enhancing his bad moods. He doesn't have time to work out (he is an active sim) because just keeping up with his needs in that household/school is rough. The mother is tense because I force her to clean and she hates it. She would probably be happier if I let the house go dirty because she's a slob. She mostly gets tense and upset when there is nothing new in the house. I don't let them be mean to each other autonomously because I don't want my story to go in that direction. However with the moods in that household I'm sure they would go that way easily if I let it. I enjoy the mood systems though and the tools they've given us through traits.. both household and sims. Some don't and don't believe it does anything. It's all a matter of opinion. Not sure that's what this thread is about in the long run though.
Edited she's not a slob she's lazy and hates to clean. So she also hates it when it's dirty lol.. yeah she's not winning in that house.
Lol.. this just happened when I went back. He started yelling at her..
