Can we get a sim description again?
I like to add a small description per sim to add more lore to my stories...I can know can do it as a household but id really appreciate it being individual as well.

I admit I never used the sim bio feature much myself, for my own sims, mostly because I knew who they were myself and never intended to share them at the exchange/gallery, but it's still honestly an important thing to include. I've also kind of changed, so at this point, it might actually be pretty likely for me to write up little bios for my sims. If only I could. It would be nice to get back.
And if nothing else, it adds more lore to the premades, the individual sims, something I miss greatly in Sims 4. Why isn't there more focus on the storytelling?
We only have vague info about the households themselves, there isn't exactly much that compels me to actually try playing the premade townies. Which I guess makes sense to the game, what with how you're always brought into CAS when you start a new save. It's like we're expected to only care about our own sims this time around. Still, not a good excuse for omitting the bio box.
I may not have played the premades much in Sims 3, I was still a lot more inclined to go create my own sims, BUT--
Back when I tried Sims 2, I actually played with the premades? I was more interested in them than in my own sims? What I remember is that I messed around with the Curious brothers, they all wound up getting alien kids, I wanted to see them grow up. I wanted to see this odd little family progress. One of the brothers died once, but I managed to win against the Grim Reaper in chess so he stayed alive. It was great.
The only downside is that I was playing it on my school laptop, which I lost the charger to, so I haven't been able to progress much....
I can easily see how a lot of people regard TS2 as the best one in the series, there is so much built-in storytelling and I wish the others had as much lore too! But no, Sims 4 isn't even in the same timeline... Honestly it makes me wonder where the writing team went. Probably explains why there is no bio feature. And maybe they didn't consider that maybe we'd want that.
Or maybe they didn't include it because that means they'd have to come up with lore for all their individual premade townies too. Something tells me they didn't want to do that. :/
