Re: [FIXED] Whims not fulfilling

The new patch yet again did not fix the issue. I love Sims and have been playing it since it first came out in the 2000, but I have to admit they are doing a terrible job here!😠😠😠

    Very disappointed to see this was not addressed in the newest patch. Whims and aspirations are the meat of my gameplay loop. The hassle of a broken whims system just sucks the rhythm and enjoyment out of the game, having to constantly save and restart, or clear whims (even if they're ones you really want to complete,) so I won't be playing it anymore until it's fixed. I sincerely hope that doesn't mean I'll never play it again.

  • Sadly, EA completely ignores this bug, or they think broken whim system is not as serious as the disappearing of above normal quality plant produces. Well, remember to save the game, then come back when you travel to a new lot could avoid this bug, though it's really annoying!

    Hello Everyone~

    Just wanted to add that has been a problem that I have always been experiencing for months now (probably since October?) and now thought that maybe if we complain in many, they might take it seriously 😉I 

    The only way I can make my whims work, is to not leave the lot where I resume the game from when I restart the game. Whims are a very good ways to get Satisfaction Points and as a seasoned simmer the brain is kinda "trained" to want to see the whim completed ones it is done, so I have been doing the very long and annoying process of saving and restarting the game when there is a whim that I REALLY want to be completed. However as we all know the beauty of the Sims is travelling (also tehre is work, etc) so eventually I need to give up to the following whim.

    ... if something could be done about this (... and mermaids not changing, and freelance jobs not completing lol ... ) it would be amazing.

    I'm having the same problem on multiple sim families. I'm really frustrated with this. I would like to get some satisfaction rewards and I can't when the whims aren't fulfilling. ☹️
