If you were to pick a trait that has the least impact on your sim, where you can barely tell the difference, which one would it be?I would have to pick Cheerful. Because Sims are normally always happy with all the various ways they can get happy moodlets, and I don't think (?) there is any extra special animation connected to a Cheerful sim. Runners up for me would be Self Assured, Outgoing, and Creative. Yes I know a couple of these can get extra moodlets but they are usually short-lived.

I had to stop giving my sims the cheerful trait. It makes them way too chipper, like all the time.

Any trait that just adds emotion. I want Sims to act differently based on traits not just feel happy or inspired.

Creative has an impact for me because there's always that really annoying "tense" moodlet when they haven't created anything in a day or two, which is frustrating for me and also why I haven't used it much. The Loves Outdoors trait makes sims tense if they haven't been outside recently. I tend to keep my sims inside, so I notice it a lot.

Which trait has the least impact?

They better question would be "Which trait has actually any real impact?"

On the plus side, it's easier to get them inspired without using any emotional aura items, which means they're able to create higher quality items like paintings or books, or cook better meals. And at least they can't die from being extremely inspired. :)

This is the question. To me, all are equally unimpactful pretty much.

Hopefully they balance the traits a bit. They've done it before I think but i dont know.

Probably the good trait and other personality traits that used to have more impact in Sims 3. In 3, if you put a Good Sim and Evil Sim together, there's a high chance for drama. In Sims 4, instead of the drama, they just gab happily unless the Evil Sim also has the Mean trait.
