Traits are broken and we all need to admit it

I'm somewhere in the middle here? I agree many of the traits could be improved and made to be more distinct, as well as have more of an impact on gameplay. As we only have 3 traits per sim, it also means I tend not to use certain traits as often since they don't add much and feel more like preferences e.g. Vegetarian, Cat Lover etc. I like to give my sims flaws or mixed traits, but I always feel this should be an option, rather than forced on players - Sims for me is always meant to be our own story to create as we envision. I also really want a fear emotion to be added and other traits like anxious, brave, eccentric etc. to really give sims more depth and diversity. However, I don't feel my own sims are just all the same. I find some trait combinations really fun and feel my favourite sims do behave differently and in ways that I find 'in character' for them. It could be just my imagination and sentiment impacting my perspective though.
