The biggest issue with personalities...
I've noticed with traits and lifestyles and even sentiments that literally all they are is occasional moodlets, they don't affect sims in any other way like how they act or how they interact with others.
It just feels like they judging from lifestyles that they don't understand what people say when they want better personalities, more moodlets is not what people want, moodlets are not personalities. Traits in this game need to do more than just give my sim a happy moodlet when they read a book or go outside. I want to see loner sims actively avoiding other sims, I want to see family orientated sims talking about their families all the time, I want geek con to mainly attract sims with the geek trait, I want geek sims to gravitate towards computers, etc. If I give a sim the evil trait, I want them to be evil.
Traits need to actively affect sims behaviour and how they interact with the world around them, not just their mood. Most importantly traits need to affect townies and non played sims, because at the moment with this system they only really make affect the sim you're playing. That is ultimately where personalities have gone wrong in my opinion, they're too centered to the emotions system and they need to be expanded beyond that. Townies need to be different based on the traits they're given.
