      That's great, but this answer Grant gave is snarky.

      I seriously doubt that very much.

      That's so not fair, they also showed teens through elders looking almost identical, oh, no, hang on.

      Well they did show us Hats... erm, wait...

      Well, I can say with absolute certainty they showed us how to manipulate the putty faces, you drag with the mouse just like its a slider (Ed. its so totally not a slider though, although it looks just like a hidden slider and functions just like a normal slider and does exactly the same thing as a normal slider it really isn't a slider, honestly take our word for it. signed, EA staff) pulling and pushing the remarkably same putty faces into slightly different putty faces. Oh no, that is just more cas too isn't it.

      Never mind.

      But we can't choose more than 3 ourselves.. I like sandbox, not goal-oriented or RPG.

      TS1 didn't have traits, so it's more like TS2 2.5 ? :lol:
      But then, if i get. You can only choose 3 Traits on CAS and acquire others through Gameplay.

      Yeah, I heard about that.
      I think it's an interesting feature. I like the idea of part of my sims personality being formed as they live their lives.

      You kind of get that in Pets. They get extra traits from training them.
      I kind of do that in University. When they get extra traits, I think back on the life they lived and try to pick traits related to what they have experienced in their life.

      I actually like this idea better than starting out with every trait you want and never growing....It's more like life.

      Hmm... That spiked my interest.
      I want to know more about this. I just hope that they give us more information before the game is out.

      I like this idea. I'm also hoping that traits are more obvious in sims. In The Sims 3, traits really just didn't matter. They honestly did nothing except give annoying idle animations, skill boosts, and occasional good or bad moodlets that were drowned out by my constantly elated sims anyway. I think this is where The Sims 4 can do really well. It'd be nice to see my sims as something but incredibly happy for once.

      No proof, no cigar, EA.

      But I got to admit, if this is true, and all the possible "good news" I have been seeing today, it is possible we are starting to get info that will make Sims 4 worth $60. Maybe July will be the month we learn about what HAS been added to the game instead of what has been taken away.

      Let me make sure I understand this. We pick 3 traits in CAS. And in actual Gameplay we unlock more traits? Like Pets or in University?

      Reward Traits from Aspirations and Store Traits. :)

      But can you earn any traits? What kind of trait do you get at the end of an aspiration? Can you build any additional traits by doing things? Example... Watching the news on tv

      You earn special traits from completing Aspirations, other additional traits are purchased in the Rewards Store with Reward Points from completing Whims. My sim Super Smokey has around 47 traits now both from completing Aspirations and buying traits in the Rewards Store (accessed by clicking on your Aspiration icon in the bottom, right-hand corner where all your sim's statistics are).

      Kid aspirations I no understand much the rewards
      In theory those reward traits are to increase skill gain when older at the 4 categories of skills [ence each kid still and asociated aspiration, envovle some older skills]

      Fitness skills
      Social skills
      Craft skills
      Brain skills

      What multiplier is applied with kid aspiration reward? 1.2?

      Problem is I'm not going to play the rpg aspirations, because that isn't what I call The Sims. That is busy work. Secondly those I have been able to buy in the Reward section from just filling whims, don't really stick and or seem to work that well. And the ones they get from 'skill's don't seem to matter or work properly or offer the options in interactions all the time like they should. I can't imagine the pie menus getting any bigger with more EPs. Because half the time things that should have been in the pie menu that the game says we 'earned' from a skill or a required trait don't actually show up to be able to say or do. Imagine if they added more what a failure since these aren't working all that often anyway.

      Ugh! :# This just makes me even more frustrated with Sims 4. I wish they hadn't messed with the traits.

      @ferret9005 I agree. :/
      PLEASE FIX TEENS IN TS4! I NEED YOUNGER TEENS NOT YA TEENS! (^_^)Please add Music Bands with lead singers! Please add vehicles and garages! Vehicles have always been part of The Sims.

      Where do the newly aquired traits show up to view?

      at simology with other traits
      My twins actually have more traits than TS3 basegame

      Celina has 9 and Celeste has 7

      Interesting about gained traits and clonning

      Andrea and Ane [clones of Celina and Celeste] have same purchased traits than her respective original, but no traits gained by completing aspiration
