Now I do agree we need more trait slots. I'm using a mod by the pancake1 free on patreon for more trait slots. And there is another modder, Vicky I think he's called, who offers even more trait slots but I didn't need that many.

We should have this official. And it is odd for this to be a "trait" but I still love the idea of added challenge. No more nerfing some of my favorite features were nerfed and I'm still sour about it?‍♀️?‍♀️?‍♀️

This. I‘m so tired of people asking everything that isn‘t bubblegum pop to be removed from the game. No wonder the game plums with a community like this. Can‘t have vampire break ins, can‘t have alien pregnancies, can‘t have murphy bed deaths, can‘t have bowing at a shrine, can‘t have lactose intolerance,…

Edit: I have 26182 allergies myself. I definitely wouldn‘t cry like a baby if they added cat allergy to the game.

I too am tired of snowflakes wanting things nerfing so their utopia is not ruined. Even toggles don't do it for them. Life ain't fair so get a grip!

My dad drinks lactose-free milk and is fine, by the way.

I have no issue with toggles, but most of the things you two just mentioned DON'T have toggles! Sims should be about playing the way you want to play, and if you two like that stuff that's fine, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, but those of us who don't should not be forced too, hence why I'm a toggle supporter.

Now to stay on topic;
For the lactose intolerance, and other food related things, I agree with those who think they should be a separate category from traits. We just got the likes/dislikes. I think a food preference/allergy category separate from traits would be cool. It would add more to the sim's overall roundedness without taking trait slots.

Personally, I am excited to have it as a lactose intolerant person. Although my issue is that it shouldn’t be added as a “trait”. If we are going to have more dietary restrictions in the game (whether genetic or by choice) then we should get a base game patch that allows dietary options in CAS that can also be genetic if a genetic one is picked for the sim. Maybe even an allergy section would be better? And like said above, choices like being a vegetarian could be like a diet challenge.

I just hope EA looks at these forums and takes what we say with some thought. They need to fix up the whole trait issue and move dietary/allergies/genetic stuff to its own category for sim creation.

Aren't more humans lactose intolerant than not? I suppose in that regard, it makes sense that this would be a thing in the game. But traits should affect more than a Sim's diet. Vegetarian pretty much every trait in this game isn't really that great a trait, but it was in Sims 3, and it's more of a lifestyle choice than a health condition (even people who do it for health reasons still *choose* it). So if this is going to be a trait, I'm not sure it was a good idea...Traits are so limited to begin with. :/ It's not like the Sims 3, where an adult could have up to 5 different traits. We're talking a third of a Sim's personality here.

I don’t get why there’s only 3 trait slots. ??‍♂️

One thing I prefer about Sims 3 is you get 5 slots and many more traits available to select without having to purchase them as rewards etc.

I agree with this, I would love to see 2-3 more trait slots. Plus a separate category for food and/or genetics.

Having my sim be allergic to fish seems like a fun detail to have in the game.

If you have island Living and you pick the child of the ocean trait your sim gets negative moodlets whenever they eat fish.

I think you may have meant to post this in another thread? Wait nm, I'm in the wrong thread. XD

I don't think they should remove the trait, I think it should still be in the game but not as a personality trait, ideally it should also be base game the way they made the vegetarian trait base game.

A little off topic, but why didn't the team patch in the unflirty trait into the base game? I mean cottage living added the most unflirty NPC known in the sims franchise, our iconic Misses Curmplebottom, yet she exists in game without any personality trait acknowledging her unflirty and single lifestyle.

I think they are just trying to be inclusive. I have a different type of allergy and understand how serious they are but I really think the intent here was to make it possible to play with lactose intolerant sims. It is there to be ignored or not. I would guess that they will add likes and dislikes for foods eventually. As pointed out, allergies are not likes or dislikes. This is just a way for them to represent those who would like to add that to their sims either to represent themselves or to create their own stories.

Three traits is not a lot so I think it would be better to have 5 but maybe it would create performance issues.

Anyway, allergies are very serious but in this situation I am not sure how they could include this in a more sensitive way. Lactose intolerance is very common around the world. Additionally, with the new type of challenge there is more emphasis on customizing menus for each household.

I am just adding that playing with Sim characters isn't mocking anyone. Would it be preferable to be ignored?

I agree that lactose intolerance isn't a personality trait, it's a type of allergy. Speaking of allergy, I have a dustmite allergy & that's why I extremely dislike the Bust the Dust & will never, ever get the kit. :s To me it was a horrorable idea.
