WIP: Some Custom Traits Feature Update Testing

I posted a WIP of the trait feature if you would like to try out the new Trait Customization system with ten updated traits that I've already play-tested and run safely in-game. (This is not required for the patch)

💘 Trait Customization Feature (Only affecting the traits come here):

The trait buffs now come with three levels of intensities and durations depending on if you don't pick any of the trait customization (Original level +2)/ Likes "Social Perception" (High level +3)/ Dislikes "Social Perception" (Low level +1). I would like to extend this feature to all my custom traits.

The buffs are now either added through meeting the requirements stated on the traits' descriptions or from the trait socials. This should lower the extreme buff frequency of the older version of the traits.

This system is optional to install but I think it is a fun addition to give more distinction to Sims even when they share the same traits.

💘 Other Updates to the Traits:

Addon for Maxis-Match style trait icons (Optional)
Buff intensity levels by giving Likes and Dislikes in Trait Customization (Optional)
Cheats to turn off buffs (Action ---> Trait Cheat) for each Sim. Turn OFF Reactions is to disable the buffs RECEIVED FROM other Sims and turn OFF Broadcaster is to disable buffs SENT TOWARDS other Sims. (Optional)
There are now social interactions to add the buffs (with a buff time limit) if you prefer to turn OFF the broadcaster (constant buff with no time limit), making the buffs appear less frequently
Buff is now maxis-match style with EA blue icons
Better trait and buff descriptions to tell what they do
Better social autonomy & Minor updates to avoid generating conflicting traits and traits being on animals
Wants are now added back to the traits
Reward version is now available in the reward store (costing 1220).
This WIP follows the naming format of V1 (no separation of CAS version or Reward version) to avoid confusion when replacing the old version of the traits.

Sim Characteristics Overhaul

Hi Guys! 💖

I was not feeling well the past few weeks so I took a break from my social media. I'm back to working on this month's traits updates (hint: I shared some new features of them on my Twitter) and other mods today. 😉 I will catch up with your comments and feedback on Patreon and Discord! Thank you!
