currently im taking a break from sims 4 for 3 and the 5 traits we get are better IMO. with the university EP installed my sims can have upto 7 traits if they attend uni or 6 if they dont but progress in a 'social group'. adding 2 new traits changed my sim almost straight away as she had new desires since she added genius and started playing chess by herself. she also added adventurer and when i took her travelling she got a buff.
sims 3 also allows you to select 'random' traits so if you dont have anything in mind you click random and boom a sim with a personality has been made. i miss that in sims 4
the emotions in sims4 are too much at times due to the rapid nature in which they can change and makes me feel that the game has been designed for a) children and b) people who have never ever played sims in their life.
im constantly feeling like each sim is a carbon copy of the previous one and alot of things are too easy, for example: need to have a baby? click try for baby on compatible items and there you go~! no work whatsoever to get the two sims in the mood
the trait reward traits are sorely lacking as well. theres no variety and it annoys me that when a trait is purchased it stays in the list.
sims 4 was ambitious in that, for me, it was a complete persona overhaul with emotions however it would have been great for these sims to have a combination of sims 2 and 3 with emotions thrown in too.
wouldnt surprise me if EA is already working on a sims 5 and a way to combine sims 2 3 and 4 personalities and emotions all together
Be surprised - they are not!!!!
They said they are not. EA said they are not. They are solely working on Sims 4 for at least the next 3 years before they review again. This is not like any of the past games - this is live service and it doesn't have an end date.

In view of the amount of time it takes to build a game from scratch we are either going to have TS4 around well into the next decade or it will be dropped like a hot potato once EA is finished milking it for $. I suspect it will be the second.
wouldn't change anything, autonomy is mostly based on the mood, way more than on traits. A flirty sim has an high chance to flirt due to the mood, unflirty trait doesn't change a thing besides making the sim less likely to be flirty, for example.
I don’t want to have more traits per sim until we have more traits full stop. There are so few traits now that’s it’s hard for me to even choose three that I want and have not used recently/in a similar combination. When we gave more traits, then I’d love to see more traits per sim.

i see i see. thats good to know. hopefully it means we have a variety of EPs and new game features to come out
At the very least, we need more traits -- and perhaps more aspirations as well since that's fairly paltry. I keep adding modded ones to my game, but they give me terrible Last Exception errors. It's hard to stay interested in the game when all of your sims feel practically like the same person, though I definitely do love the game.

This is where I'm at, there's only a couple of my Sims where I'd like up to five traits. But most of the time, I'm already kinda hard pressed to make a sim with three traits that I didn't already do. And while more slots would give me a little more space to have more combinations, I really think there'd need a bunch more traits for it to make sense.
Honestly, even without new slots, I feel like we need a lot more dang traits.
