Re: [OPEN] Likes/Dislikes: Missing Hobbies and Skills
Just adding my support for this. I guess it had always been in the back of my mind that the options were.... a bit lacking, (not to mention they do not have as much effect as i'd like, if i set a sim to dislike 'dancing' i'd expect them to avoid autonomous dancing, and not have to disable that autonomous interaction with MCCC, but that's another topic) but it really got cemented just recently. At the sale going on now, i got, in addition to Cottage Living, the Nifty Knitting and Bowling packs. I made a gloriously tacky and searingly orange 70s bowling alley, which i had fun with, and was happy to see that some of my sims who showed up to the lanes got an alert to like bowling, yay! So then i went into the knitting and cross stitching stuff with my old lady character, and while i did enjoy her creations and Plopsy.... there was no option for likes for that? Seems like a big oversight, especially considering the Metal (!!!! (Myrkur is one of my faves!!)) musical preference was added, so not like the pack was just ignored. She also arranges flowers, just a generally craftsy grandmother type, and it's just a shame that i can't really have that reflected in her likes and dislikes. Hell, I would be content with a 'crafts' (cross stitch, knitting, flower arranging) option if a category for each was too much.
So yeah, I'd love the following for some of my characters:
Cross-Stitch
Knitting
Flower Arranging
Chess
Science (microscope, telescope, analyzer)
Archaeology
Juice Fizzing
Fabrication
Magic/potions/supernatural
Bar Games (Wake the Llama, darts, foosball, ping pong, like the club option)
On that note, how about clubs? I know the 'in the know' trait is a thing but...
I would also really like food likes and dislikes, though with the sheer number or recipes, i realize that may be an issue. Maybe categories of food instead?
For now, I will go looking for mods for some of these, but I would prefer to have it in there by default to keep mod issue wonkyness to a minimum
