Like, have they never heard of cosplay? :D Or the people who make those detailed miniatures for tabletop games...?

- Cerebral Sims - When I read the description, I get someone who is smart or partakes in mental-type activities. Creative isn't something that comes in mind when thinking of an opposite. What comes in mind is someone who are bored in mental things or believe in dumb stuff (Erratic, I guess...).
- Idealist Sims - Again, I don't get why smart and creative should be opposites. For me, the opposite is uncreative. The one who either doesn't like art at all or just don't get creative so easily (I'd guess Perfectionist with the reason of tight worldview...).
- Nature Enthusiast - Sometimes, there are people that just like lying in grass or elsewhere outdoors and listen to birdsongs for example. I think traits like Squeamish, High Maintenance, and Neat should suit better for the opposites due to nature also being harsh and dirty and icky.
100% agree with you about Nature Enthusiasts versus Squeamish (instead of Lazy).
For the opposite of Cerebral, the best I could think of was maybe Bro or Active. But one of my own interesting sims is an astronaut who is an Active Bro Genius. (Which if you've ever known anyone in the Air Force in real life, seems about right to me, lol.)
The bottom line for me is that I don't really think they should have mixed in opposites into the same choices. I'm sure they did it to save space or whatever, but it cuts directly against the idea of making your sims complicated and interesting. At the absolute most, they should have combined traits that are so incompatible that they are actually grayed out when you make your sim: Slob v. Neat/Squeamish, Good v. Evil, Active v. Lazy, Family Oriented v. Hates Children. Everything else should have been left unmuddled.
