We need more than 3 CAS traits per sim
I'm increasingly of the opinion that either: 1) Each trait needs to have more depth to it (which is potentially a lot of polishing work to do) 2) CAS trait slot is increased from 3 for adults to...

I hold opinion number 1. I think the trait system in general needs to be looked at and improved.
A few years ago SimGuruLindsay explained that in development they did try out more trait slots, but the Sims behaved in odd ways with more than 3 traits. Back then I didn’t really understand exactly what she meant by that, but basing my speculation on the way traits work now (primarily emotional influencers) I would bet she means that emotions would rapidly cycle between different states and the Sims behavior would change dramatically over relatively short periods of time.
