Hi,
The traits and the emotions are limited to 1 or 2 exclusive interactions, it's extremely poor.
Several of them are disable on NPC townies, it causes these sims got no personality and almost no emotion (only sad, angry & flirty are really expressed).
For example, your sim got a "Bro" NPC friend but "Bro" trait means nothing in their relationship, it's very strange for a "Social Trait".
It's the same problem with "Family-Oriented" NPC townies even if your sim is member of the family.
The fact the NPC townies can feel Confident, Inspired, Energized, Focused or Bored is just decorative, we can't take advantage of the situation to do something specific to these emotional states.
In The Sims 3, there were a ton of useless traits which were never improved/extended/upgraded by the game update or the packs.
In The Sims 4, instead of getting more traits, I would like the ones of the basegame mean something in the everyday life of my sims.
