I'm really sorry to read you don't enjoy the Needs TLC lot trait. :(
It's my favorite trait so I definitely don't want them to nerf or alter how annoying the environmental effects are. I love my sordid little environment that actually affects my sim's emotions and moods. It's nice to finally have some environmental game play that affects my sim and creates consequences for them. It does suck that the trait is locked, but there are only 3 lots in the entire expansion with this trait, so I really hope the simmers who dislike this trait will find more suitable dwellings instead of calling for the removal or nerfing of the trait.

It's totally ok to not like it, but there are people who do like it... and we can only experience it in 3 locations... the simmers who are not fond of it have every other lot and apartment in the game to enjoy. :(
P.S. For those who are interested in the lot trait, there is a modder who has unlocked the
Needs TLC features so that you can place them on your regular lots.
I haven't seen a mod that allows us to unlock locked traits, though. :( At least not yet.
