    Carefree and Shameless. Carefree meant your sim never got tense. It used to stave off the Island Living debuffs, but some of those have been changed to scared. Shameless basically yeets the embarrassed emotion completely, meaning no more Embarrassment deaths.

    Observant.
    I want to know everyone's personalities, without the work. That way I know who to befriend and invite to parties. Who wants an evil at their toddler's birthday? Who wants a good at an evil scientist's retirement?

    Always Welcome.
    This one is second. Sims should be able to grab a snack at their parents' or fiancée's houses.

    There are many good rewards depending on the character, but I'd have to say in general:

    -Carefree
    -Shameless
    -Seldom Sleepy

    as my top 3 favs

    Depending on what you mean though, the "small" ones,

    -Incredibly Friendly
    -Always Welcome
    -Observant

    (I don't use the "big" ones much since it takes away from gameplay, I find.
    Other than:

    -Brave

    EDIT: Depends on the characters and the situation they are in. ;)

    Top three I get asap - Storm Chaser, Waterproof, and Observant. Frequently followed by cold and heat resistance (never immunity) Others vary depending on the character.

    Depends, for practical reasons, I like the waterproof, always welcome and observant ones. For skill building, I like the morning sim and night owl ones because it gives a boost. If I have to pick just one I just enjoy the most for no reason, it is maybe the iceproof one. I really like the moodlets they get during winter and snow storms.

    Storm Chaser. Makes no sense that all sims go into a frenzy when a thunderstorm occurs. Also, I love storms.

    I don't like to use the reward traits to make the game easier, but I like to use them more as "additional personality" traits.

    For example, an outdoorsy and adventurous Sim would have Storm Chaser. Or maybe a genius and perfectionist Sim would have Observant.

    Always Welcome is a great and useful reward trait, but I've opted to use Bienchen's morewelcome mod for my own playstyle.

    I like Marketable and Creative Visionary for creative Sims who might want to try to make a living through their hobbies.

    Another trait I really like is Great Storyteller. I usually give it to Sims who I find charismatic and always seem to have some amazing story to share. It can be useful in gameplay to change someone's emotion. When my Sims throw a party and someone comes over angry, my Sim can share a Dramatic/Engaging/Funny/Outrageous/Unbelievable (if they're confident) Story and change their emotion...you know, so they stop kicking my trash can and yelling at everyone at the party. Just be careful with Funny and Outrageous Stories as they can kill Sims if they make them too playful.

    Always Welcome so it's easier to visit friends and relatives.

    Shameless because I hate the idle animation for embarassed sims. Also, I already have a mental reel of embarassing moments of my own, thank you.

    Dragons, which I'll surely get after years of asking for them.

    Other than that, Always Welcome. I like visiting family, cooking for them or sleeping at their house.

    I like The Storyteller reward. Aside from the lethal stories, it's nice to have.

    I recently had my main sim nearly kill a legacy sim when he told an outrageous story. My merman splashed the other merman, and the one that became hysterical had so many happy moodlets stacked that Dylan's, one of my main sims, story tipped Lir, my legacy sim, into the hysterical moodlet.

    I forgive Dylan because he doesn't have the observant trait like his identical twin, Zephyr, does. I think Dylan was just trying to be friendly and didn't notice how close he was to killing his friend. Dylan can be dense like that.

    I've discovered a toddler + a great storyteller Sim can wreak havoc during parties. :D

    Lir is a Child of the Ocean, and he was swimming in Oceanic Paradise. His happy moodlet came from a special lot trait Exclusive to Sulani. I'm just happy a fish didn't tickle his fins... That could have been dangerous.

    Don't get me started with toddlers. I've had so many twins in my game. lol. Imagine a storyteller and two toddlers...

    The rewards I choose depend on the sim (age, traits, aspiration, skills).

    For children I often choose 'Incredibly Friendly' as a first reward, because then they can finish the social butterfly aspiration very quickly.
    For alien children, I try to select 'Shameless' pretty early. I hate that they are feeling embarrassed for being an alien.

    Next in line is 'Savant', because it increases their skill gain. Once they maxed some skills, they might also become a 'Mentor'.

    Late in life, when it's clear that the sim will pass away, the left satisfaction points are invested in potions, mainly the 'Moodlet Solver'. The potions are then gifted to younger household members.

    Waterproof...my sims travel a lot and never know the weather in other worlds. It's almost always the first one I get to eliminate miserably wet.

    Also use great story teller and incredibly friendly quite often and creative visionary. I have a few too many creative sims.

    Seldom sleepy. Sims have better things to do than sleep.

    Good connections. Faster promotions and pay raise.

    Marketable. Better price for paintings and handwork.

    Stoves and grills master. I'm over my game's creepy fetish with turning my sims into charcoal briquettes within their first 3 sim days. If I start with a completely new sim I cheat them the reward, all the sims leftover from previous saves have this trait already. If they don't have that trait, or I don't cheat it to them, cereal or yogurt until day 4 at least.

    And what's really creepy about immolating my simmies is the utter ambivalence my game has for every attempt to extinguish them.
