The Sims 4: 10 Past Features EA Should’ve Never Taken Out

10. More Traits, Not Less

In The Sims 3, you were able to give your Sim five traits and an aspirational life goal. 

In The Sims 4 however, you're limited to only three traits, which you must choose from nine Emotional Traits (active, cheerful, genius, etc), six Hobby Traits (art lover, perfectionist, geek, etc), 12 Lifestyle traits (materialistic, lazy, neat, etc) and nine Social Traits (mean, loner, hates children, etc). 

You don't get to choose your favourite food, favourite music or favourite colour anymore and you don't get to pick a zodiac sign, but you do get one'bonus trait depending on the life aspiration given to your Sim.

During gameplay however, it is possible to unlock other traits depending on the skills you've mastered, but unless you've turned off the aging on your Sims, it's hardly possible to do so with more than one skill in a particular Sim's lifetime.
