Lately I have been giving all my sims a negative trait or two. Klepto is my favorite, but I also like mean, evil, lazy, and slob. I gave my latest sim the glutton trait so he can forage food out of garbage cans. I especially love cheating parenthood traits onto sims. Negative traits seem to give sims more personality.

Agreed! We need more negative traits. Actually, to be more specific, we need more STRONG traits. There are so many that just add an occasional buff which is extremely weak when it comes to gameplay and personality. I want to be able to observe a sim for a while and be able to list their traits without actually looking their traits up because they actually express the traits given in an obvious way! We need traits that not only add buffs but ones that have unique interactions, special idles, and autonomous decision making based on their traits. This would enrich the game in a strong way.

Agreed. For example, we should see loners making the effort to be alone. We should see loves outdoors sims sitting outside most of the time, enjoying the fresh air.

By the way, childish and hot-headed is a fun combination. Buy them a huge cuddly toy and watch them beat the stuffing out of it! They'll also talk to the toy and this fulfills their social need.
