Toggle for consequences in game, would you be interested?

Heck yessssss!!! Need more drama, consequences and over bad things that can happen to balance out all the eutopia

Ugh, toggles, add stuff or don’t. I haven’t time to spend an hour and a half figuring out what to turn on or turn off before I even play and if every request toggle is added to the game there will be approximately 10,000 of them and it will take hours just to set up a save. I just want to play my game and I do in fact want it to surprise me and challenge me at times and throw me off my set course because that’s the point of a game. Everything shouldn’t go 100% according to plan 100% of the time. It’s boring. So is knowing what to expect all the time because I essentially spent six hours on toggles essentially setting it up. Hard pass for me on toggles period.

Toggles and options are always a good thing, but a number of the mentioned things I am not particularly interested in playing with (or just wouldn't want the limits, such as high school limiting careers when I have DU). *shrug*

I'd only actively want features I am interested in using.

Definitely against including cancer but some of the other stuff would be good, especially if on a toggle.

I think the OP was just using the cancer as an example of an illness being added to the game. There are other illnesses that can happen.

Yes, as a 'for example'. I live in a country with the highest rate of skin cancer in the world, so I automatically associate something like sun tanning with 'risk of deathly illness'. Game wise it could be something like 'Oh no, your Sim has the dreaded Sulani Sweats', just something that is going to be of consequence for an activity.

Change my vote to It Depends.
I like the idea of career limitations.
Game's rating is T-Teen & the devs aren't going to do too much consequence when they've been ushering in inclusivity.

But a definite no to the bully, shaming or cancer-like thing. Lot of peeps are sensitive bout those issues.
Besides, Sims is my escapism after chemo & I don't always wanna be reminded of what I'm trying to forget.

Just "consequences yes/no" is too broad, I wouldn't use that. I want consequences for some things (crime, violation of public peace), but not for others (Sulani Sweats), and even some consequences to apply only to certain sims.

They should instead give us a system to create our own laws. Something like minister posts (Health, Education, Law Enforcement, Economy, Environment, Youth) that sims can work towards getting voted in and then have full control over the rules.

I don't think I'd want consequences On/Off as a whole. What if I disagree with a particular consequence? What if my state/county/country has different consequences for a certain thing than California, USA? There are already places in Parenthood where even with a parent with Parenting 10 who can see all the options and - yes, consequences to a particular parenting problem, I disagree with all the options. Either because the Sim I'm playing wouldn't pick one of them, or because I personally parent differently than the game is designed for in that particular instance. I'm not sure I'd enjoy that problem writ large across the whole game.

That said, I would like consequences for some things, and for my criminal sims to occasionally spend the night in lock up, or my teenagers to get suspended or detention for skivvying off of school too often, or stuff like that.

So if the Consequences toggle wasn't one toggle, but say a handful - Health, criminal, school, social ... maybe Occult - that could be individually turned on or off, then maybe.

That's how the game should have been from the start. But i'ld find a toggle ok.
