does anyone else miss how Sims 2 had both positive and NEGATIVE tasks you could do?

If they're optional, sure. Negative moods are already annoying as it is (and thankfully that's lessened with special baths from Spa Day). So as long as I can avoid doing that, then it's fine with me. I dunno, I prefer efficiency over extra tedium or something. But I seem to have a weird idea of what 'challenge' is compared to some too. Taking 5 extra hours to do something because a Sim is sad or tense just doesn't appeal to me.
