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 have to say that, I'm actually against this idea. 3 traits are enough, and works better to make sims different than 5. In my opinion, and in my experience. With less traits, I'll have to be more careful of what I choose, so that the personalities come out differently.
For example the poster could choose any one of the Cheerful/Goofball/Childish and then pick the Good and Neat to give a different kind of personality for the sim. Picking 3 kind of similar traits and then adding 2 differing ones, would just drown the good and neat traits under the other 3 similar ones. (Though admittedly, I also thought that 3 is a little too little, when TS4 came out, but have long since changed my opinion.)
Also, I've played with sims that have had the exactly the same traits (all 3 of them) and the sims have still shown personalities differing from each other. What they experience and what the player puts them up to also has an impact. And if they get to do things they wish for and act on their own, without interference.
I would, however, very much like to see more traits in the game. :)
