Dishonest/Liar
Strong-Willed/Determined
Honest/Genuine
Compliant/Submissive
Aren't those basically the same thing? What would make them have different actions/reactions compared to the other?
I would for sure like to see these in the game if they actually determined a sims personality.
Great choice.
In addition: Technophobe, Gloomy, anxious, shy, brave, goofy, smart, romantic
Please DO NOT give us evil (Unless you really grant us the possibility to commit crimes. Pranks are not evil.)
Favourite Worlds Sims 3: Hidden Springs, Barnacle Bay, Riverview, Isla Paradiso, Sunlit Tides, Monte Vista, Dragon Valley, Al Simhara, Shang Simla, Roaring Heights, Lunar Lakes
Favourite Worlds Sims 4: Britechester, Windenburg, Sulani - possibly Mt. Komorebi
Hates pets, or hate just a specific animal such as cat, dog, etc. Gets uncomfortable or tense near them and gets angry when pets do something gross rather than uncomfortable.
Bossy. Likes telling other Sims what to do and being in charge, hates to get ordered around. They're usually confident Sims but not very sociable.
Shy. Just return that one from the Sims 3 lol. There's a lot of traits from Sims 3 that didn't return in 4 that shouldn't have been gone to begin with, I really miss the Loser trait lmao.
I'd love to have ADHD or Asperger's too, but that can be understandably difficult to pull off as they're complicated and misunderstood conditions. There is an ADHD trait mod for Sims 4 that is pretty accurate to irl ADHD though, so it's not impossible to have that.
Oh yeah, have more than 3 or 5 slots for traits too. 3 is too limiting.
Deceptive, not exactly a liar, evasive
Grumpy
Boring, Dull
Irrational, overwrought (that might be an emotion)
Impatient, if they don't get a skill or friend fast enough etc. throw a fit.
Logical, pratical, everything is thought out before doing.
Bossy is a good one, I would like to see that. lol Lots of lectures.
Hubris/Arrogant
I thought Shy was in TS4, must have missed it. But yes, shy has to be better than the loner trait in TS4.
Brave, not all Sims should be brave and whip out a fire extinquisher
Snooty, Snoby, it was good in TS3 I would like to see it have a little more depth.
There are several traits in The Sims Medieval that I would love to see in the regular game.
Narcisstic, nothing matters unless it benefits the Sim, lack of empathy
Natural born worrier, worries about outfits, hair, appearance, the world, the next day, someone else or whatever.
Sleezy, whatever that means to you. Would sell the last bite in mother's house, or whatever else you think a sleezy Sim would do. Wouldn't bat an eye to take advantage of a feeble minded Sim.
Naive, believes anything or anything someone says.
Dubious, having dual personalities, sometimes in conflict with themselves.
Uncouth, says whatever is on their mind, no filters. It's bad manners to ask how much someone makes, that's uncouth.
Proper, always has proper manners, ask someone to sit down, invites to eat, or drink etc. Always stays away from gossip etc. Doesn't take part in idle gossip or spreading rumors, speaking badly about others. Proper manners.
Gossiper, tells big tales about other Sims. Spreads rumors, starts trouble, has fun sticking their nose where it doesn't belong.Trouble maker.
Loyal, would never tell another's secret, and or cheat on their partner. Would defend another's honor, and do what is necessary for the group/household because they are loyal. (whether that loyality is misplaced or not)
Honorable, honest, returns things lost, doesn't lie, or deceive or play games with the mind, doesn't manipulate.
)?"
Whereas Mean-Spirited will do something to other sims.
Always "River McIrish" ...and maybe some Bebe Hart. ~innocent expression~
For example I think if you have one trait that was "neat", the sim would tidy more automatically, but also get stressed or uncomfortable faster in dirty and messy rooms.
While "sloppy" would clean less up after themselves, but also care less about messy and dirty environment.
Outgoing make friends faster and social needs decline faster, more autonomously talk to other sims aso.
Non social (don´t know the best English word), less autonomously talking to strangers, social needs decline slower aso. making and keeping friends might take more work.
When I make a sim I never choose traits like "Materialistic" or "Lazy", but if a trait like materialistic made sims happier from earning money and having money and a nice house aso. and maybe confident boosting from those things; Then I would be more inclined to use it if I wanted to create a sim that I wanted to be economically successful and that was one of my goals. It should of course also have downsides like less happy when "poor" and in low cost environments aso.
Personality,depth,humor,consequences,lore,customization.
Personality sets are too restricting, and group people into different categories. Personality traits allow you to choose any traits you want.
Traits are too basic, they arent sophisticated enough. They leave too big of a gap where most sims behave the same. Some traits arent really "traits" at all. Hating sunny weather isnt a personality.

Let's make Liberty and Justice For All a reality.
I agree that a trait must give the sim some change in attribution, but I suppose aesthetic qualities can be fun.
(Eg. Trait — Attentive : attentive sims prefer continue unfinished tasks. They will not read a new book until finishing the one they’re currently reading. They’ll obsess with a partially written song.)
Let's make Liberty and Justice For All a reality.
I don't think one's own gender decision (transgender, nonbinary, etc) or gender preference (gay, lesbian, bi, etc) should be a personality trait. Do all transgender people behave the same way?
Not saying they shouldn't add that in. Just that it shouldn't be by a "personality trait" choice. And keeping gender separate from a personality trait would let them add in things like what pronouns do they use.
I want traits that actually have an affect on the game. Sims 4 fails in that regard largely. The emotion system is too strong and overpowers the traits. And I want them to be actual personality traits.
They should have a section for more of the lifestyle things they tend to put in as traits: vegetarian, technophobe, etc.
That and an impulsive liar trait is up there. I'd love to see the gossip that would be spread or what they would lie about like traits/wealth just to spice up the game when Jim turns out to NOT actually be a Sim whos good at his job. Especially if discovering that someones a liar makes all their (even true) gossip get taken badly.
I can easily agree on the actual idea for my Sims. It shouldn't be a trait though. Like having it be 20% (TS3)/33% (TS4) of a sims personality would limit the Sim from another slot choice. It should be a proper option you can toggle and pick.
Now see, I'm the total opposite, I prefer my sim to act a certain way because of the traits I chose for them. Having them react due to situations makes them all seem the same.
I want them to react to situations according to their traits. If they're a dog lover and they see a stray dog I expect them to go goo-goo over the dog. If I have a sim who loves the outdoors, I don't want them to always want to be inside on the computer, they should automously go fishing, taking a walk, tend to the garden, etc. A creative sim should naturally gravitate towards creative activities, painting, knitting, candle making, etc.
Seems like "traits" gets bad rep because of TS4, I personally still prefer Traits (TS3 one not TS4) over personality points since human(or sims) is a very complex creature and dont have to get restricted to outgoing-shy, sloppy-neat, nice-grouchy, playful-serious, active-lazy like in TS2.
most of the complex personality i assign to my sims is being mean-spirit while also good at heart, innapropriate but good at heart, sims with evil+friendly trait combination making them have this malicious intent or ulterior motive when being nice to others and I can achieve that with TS3 version of traits. since it's not limited to either Nice-Grouchy option in TS2
