welp I'm ticked, my allergy to milk isnt some cutesy little trait you can add to the game as a personality quirk, to a sim. Not to mention with the current trait count lmao it would take 1 out of 3 slots available for sims a personality, and while its nots really like a dietary choice in the sense you can be vegan or eat bugs, nope lol I cant eat milk or severe health issues. This feels like this is mocking me because you only added asthma to eco lifestyle, but didn't give sims a chance to die its basically a negative moodlet, and thats it, I mean really, I dont want to get in to detail but if a modder can get disease and illness right, why the heck are you making a mockery of irls conditions? I mean I wish I can choose to not be not lactose intolerance, and I wouldn't care if lmao you added actual in game consequences like a sims not being able to poop for over a month, and severe stomach pains and chance of death. whats next are going to mock autism? chrons disease? etc.

or better yet simulate as a non personality trait based off sims genetic, and make the penalties in game beyond just feeling bad, I mean I would totally love to not to be allergic to milk but the problem is a. nope I am cant change that, b. its not a personality trait its a genetically inheirtable disorder, that can severely impact going to the bathroom and cause pain.

They should have a separate trait selection or "mini-slots" for more specific traits like this one, dietary preferences. It takes up a slot just not being able to consume something, and I think that's too precise for a gameplay mechanic, like traits, that run through the entire scope of the game as opposed to only a certain area like eating/drinking.And, yes, Sims team, allergies are not personality traits.

I mean if your going to add allergies specific like allergic to milk then you mind as well make it a genetic thing, and give actual conquences instead of lmao tummy upset.

Sad thing is, it'll probably have more impact on the way sims behave than a lot of other traits...lmao. I think I'd rather take this one than the Gloomy trait, for example, that only adds a +1 sad buff in very specific situations.

Remove the lactose intolerance trait from cottage living

They did this with Vegetarian, too! It's a pack-exclusive trait, that shouldn't be a trait.

I'm not sure. How would you have preferred it to be done in the game?

I think adding it as a trait makes sense because you can add and remove it to the sims you want. I agree that it's not part of anyone's personality, but gameplay wise I think it makes sense to have it as a trait so you can select it when you create your sim.

I would not want it to be picked for random on sims though, which is why I'm going to blacklist that one with MC Command Center.

I mean there are many traits that are not rlly tied to personality but ig that's the best way they can do it. Unless they add a dietary restrictions section which would make more sense if they added more than 2 the game. I'm not sure what else they would add. Maybe gluten or peanut butter allergy.

I mean, I'm used to Vegetarian being considered a trait so I don't really personally have a problem with Lactose Intolerant being a trait and I use cheats/mods to add more than 3 traits in game anyway.

But for those of you who are opposed to it... I have a suggestion.

What if like the "Lot Challenges" being added with Cottage Living (or is it the free patch? I can't remember) they added yet another new category to CAS for "Life Challenges" though preferably not worded that way since I'd like Vegetarian to be included in this potential new category and it's not really a challenge but rather a choice. And this could maybe be a good way to introduce other "traits" for lack of a better word that don't relate to personality and can possibly make your Sims' life harder.

I’m allergic to Milk, and as a matter of fact I nearly landed in the hospital last week due to an undisclosed ingredient, so yeah not a trait. It’s not a preference either, as I can’t simply choose to not get violently ill. I’m not easily offended, but this one is close for me to be honest. I’d invite the team to be up all night with an infant screaming in pain, after their first taste of dairy based formula (demanded be given by a clueless pediatrician). Anyway dairy is not something we play around with in my household, and I don’t find this “cute” at all.
