yes, the traits are too simple and there are too little. they don't make much of a difference on gameplay but still would be great to have more traits to choose. on the modding community there's a lot and i've installed a few, but why does devs neglect traits so much? and why did they stop adding new ones to the base game?

I think why they won't add more is because sims flip flop too easily in different moods. Meaningful stories mod helps a lot with tuning the sims emotions.

but then they add them on packs? maxis really needs more budget.
also there are ways to calibrate the intensity of traits. i agree emotions are a bit annoying and honestly devs should've picked another personality system to go with them. as of now, i think emotions override and conflict with traits.

I meant more than three traits.

ohh okay, yeah you are probably right. it's shown on the first looks of sims 4, there were meant to be 5 traits. perhaps given the whole online to offline change and the emotions, devs decided to give ts4 sims only 3 traits to avoid too much conflict between them. i think devs needed way more time and budget to develop emotions and traits on the game, and it has been a big challenge for them.
below is the sims 4 screenshot with 5 traits
