Usually, when you get asked if your sim likes or dislikes something, and you say "no," the game stops asking you. This works great for activities like dancing or mixology, where you don't want to get bugged about it over and over again. But with the Reaper's Rewards quests I've been doing a lot more gardening and I noticed that my sim keeps getting asked if she likes gardening over and over.
This is kind of annoying, and inconsistent with other activities. I do not want her to like gardening, and I don't want her to hate it either.
The way it's always worked for me is that if I say "no," the game stops asking me. I've done this for a lot of different activities, including dancing, cooking, fishing, etc. It used to work this way for gardening, too, pretty much since likes/dislikes were introduced.
When you look at the all of the "SimPreference_N🤭pinion" traits in a tool like XML File Finder for The Sims 4 and browse references from other files, every other "Trait_SimPreference_N🤭pinion_Activities" is actually part of the test to determine whether or not you get asked. It was supposed to be an opt out to stop people from getting repeatedly blasted with questions.
When I looked at the coding for gardening specifically, these tests are missing, and "trait_SimPreference_N🤭pinion_Activities_Gardening" doesn't have any references from any of the gardening activities like it should. I believe this is new with the Reapers' Rewards update.
Edit: sorry about the random emojis, whatever tool is being used for the web forum doesn't like No Opinion being one word.
@onemorekayaker Could you please make this a proper bug report then and fill out the template in the bug forum ? If you are not prompted, just check one of the threads what the questions are and answer them.I'll merge this afterwards.
Thanks.
