But we have most of those same traits and some different ones that are more specific (We don’t have Serious for instance, but we have serious traits like Bookworm and now Proper). And if the points were in the middle of the spectrum it meant absolutely nothing. Sims on average only had a few extremes once all their points were applied.
Neat OR Sloppy
Lazy OR Active
Serious OR Playful
Shy OR Outgoing
Grouchy OR Nice
That doesn’t give more of a variety than what we have. Sims felt more similar then (to me) than they do now.
It would be like if they cut our current traits back to 10 and sims just got different combinations of any 3 of those. That doesn’t sound better to me.
There were more than the extremes with personality points. There was a middle dynamic too to them.
Really? Could you be more specific? It’s been a while but I played that game a lot.
Here is one example of the degrees of the points and how it affects the game:
Neat- Slob (0-2): So I occasionally leave a pizza box or two laying around, and I don't mind the flies buzzing all over. Why clean up when everyone else is willing to do it?Occasional Cleaner (3-7): When it comes to cleaning up I have a few basic rules. I flush when I'm done, clean up my own junk and take out the trash now and then.Neat-Freak (8-10): I'm known to wash dishes as soon as I'm finished eating. The trashcan's barely full before it's taken out. The paper is recycled as soon as I'm finished reading. And the house is always spotless whenever I'm about.
You can find more description/details here:

The 3-7 range is just the default. That’s not “personality”. The extremes show personality.
What would the neat and sloppy descriptions mean if you didn’t see a description for the default? That’s the only reason it’s there.
