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...

Actually I'm focused on a Profile system based on 1 main trait and 2 minor traits.
The main traits are :
(Trait, Aspiration (Aspiration Bonus Trait, Aspiration Reward Traits), Child Aspiration Reward Trait, Satisfaction Reward Traits, Character Value Traits, Skills)
- Active : Athletic (High Metabolism) + Physically Gifted + Gym Rat + Mediator + Fitness lvl 10
- Romantic : Love (Alluring + Player) + Great Kisser + Beguiling + Charisma lvl 10
- Foodie : Food (Essence of Flavor + Fresh Chef) + Stoves and Grill Master + Cooking lvl 10
- Bro : Popularity (Gregarious + Beloved) + Socially Gifted + Connections + Always Welcome + Incredibly Friendly + Compassionate + Charisma lvl 10
- Evil : Deviance (Dastardly + Mastermind + Tormentor) + Argumentative + Mischief lvl 10
- Genius : Knowledge (Quick Leaner + Handy) + Mentally Gifted + Savant + Handiness lvl 10
For example the minor traits are :
- Goofball + Hilarious
- Geek + Webmaster
- Loves Outdoor + Survivalist + Angler's Tranquility
- Family-Oriented
- Slob + Glutton + Bad Manners
The other traits are optional.
I understand what you are doing but that shouldn't be the goal. Plus a lot of those reward traits are not meant as personality definers. Often they just add an extra buff or interaction which I don't even think those are tagged as autonumous for sims with those traits.
But you shouldn't have to grind to give sims personalities, that doesn't make any sense. It should be right when first stepping into the world after CAS that sims should be considerably different when playing them otherwise what is the point of traits other than little reward things? I like what the character values tried to introduce but once again it's something based off of the trait system and it's not something that we can separately define in CAS for the YA/AD/Elder sims.
I mean, in the end, I guess they are all traits but it's how they work what matters. Even favourites are traits.
