That's interesting to know and makes me more interested in buying it. Thanks for sharing!

My 'evil' sim's extreme politeness gives her a depth she didn't have before, while my gloomy country-singer celebrity's good manners make his dislike of getting touched by strangers that much more poignant. You can mix and match seemingly contradictory behaviors, have someone be empathic but rude, or insensitive but polite. When picking traits in CAS, etc., those kinds of seeming opposites aren't permitted.

Thanks for explaining this more! I was wondering about this when I read the game description.
