Traits are broken and we all need to admit it
The whole traits system needs to be reworked and updated in a patch. Most of them are not actually traits (vegetarian, cat-lover, etc...) and we shouldn't sacrifice a slot out of the already limite...

Well I do think it a bit bizarre that so many people want Sims to be forced to have a negative traits. I mean the option is there so if you want your Sims to have a negative trait just give them one? Why do you want to force it upon people who don't want the style of gameplay when it's not even a multiplayer game? That being said, I've decided I'm not too worried about it haha! I really don't think it's something that they would add into the main game now at this point. I think it would be something more they added to Sims 5 which I don't really plan on getting because Sims 4 is such a great game on its own. It's definitely my favorite so far.
And even if they did eventually added to Sims 4 for some reason, I think there would be ways around it. If it was only one person per household post said, I just create a person to specifically move out after. Or if it had to be one per person I guess I just get them all the jealous trait since I never give them a reason to be jealous hahaha! My Sims never leave their house except to go on family vacations together and I'm careful not to let anyone flirt with anyone else other than their spouse. All it would do is make the game slightly more boring because having that useless trait it would make it so my Sims can have even one less other trait that I'd want them to have. Like now maybe they can't be a book lover because they are already a cat lover and neat. So yeah basically it would just limit Sims personalities even more because you couldn't choose the combination you want, but it would be doable.
The only game I do play right now where I give Sims negative traits, is my hundred baby challenge where they have to have randomize traits. I've had two of the kids end up with the evil traits and it makes the game a lot less fun. You see them beating up on the smaller kids stuffed animals a lot and when their siblings are in the mourning they become happy. I still love doing the hundred baby challenge, because I love to play with large families, but it's just one more boring time management step trying to stop them from these actions all the time.
I do agree we should be able to pick up to five traits instead of three. If that came with having to pick on negative trait, then I would take that back. I would prefer to have less traits and have them the way they are then to have to do that but oh, if it happens it happens.
