Bad performance is not the reason TS4 Sims don't have but three traits. It's because the core of this game was a MMO and they didn't bother to refine it into something a single player would want. It was never about a life simulator, but to get to point A from point B by manipulating emotions for a goal or a level or whatever they were planning with that game. In a single player game where the player must reuse and reuse and reuse the same ten or so traits in this game, which 99% of the time they don't need the trait since emotions are spread among all Sims regardless of the trait, it makes traits useless. They aren't tripping over traits, they are tripping over buffs. Why would my Sim need a confidence trait when I can just give them the same thing with an object or deed to gain it? It's pointless. The whole nine yards. These Sims don't need traits at all because they are rarely used in the fact by applying the same thing by emotion there was never a need to add new ones.
It's all mumbo jumbo, and shows they have no idea how their game actually plays out.
