Bring Whims back please

I want whims back too. Wants are so annoying, and I don't care about fears. The biggest problem is that you can't remove a want you can't fullfill for some reasons.

There aren't wants from previous EPs or GPs; whims were.

I want old system back or at least give us an option!

Honestly Wants and Fears made the game unplayable for me. I enjoy playing wants-based gameplay and because all the wants/fears are base game or high school years (which I don't have yet) they are unusable. It's disappointing. 

Wants and Fears should not have been released when it's unfinished and ignores 98% of the content people have already paid for.

I know, maybe we should contact EA?

I am at the point were I just want to go back and play The Sims 2 but I spent like 3 days trying to get my old disc copies to work on Windows 10 to no avail. I honestly don't see the point to revamping a system that worked fine enough. Also who play tested Wants and Fears? A number of my sims are Music Lovers which is a reflection of my own tastes. Half the time my Sims wants are just a revolving door of listening to different music immediately after fulfilling another. I never get wants associated with Moodlets which just breaks up the nice little gameplay loop Moodlets and whims created.

I can't play my rotational save because I can't trust this feature to remain off for the households I'm not playing. I don't want wants and fears changing the story arc for any of my sims and I simply don't trust it right now.

This is literally the worst patch you've ever pushed out.

I was so frustrated that I experimented with making my Options.ini file read only after turning it off, but no, the game can still write to Options.ini like that based on the timestamp. I'm considering going in as another account and making an explicit deny on my ability to write to this file and seeing if this prevents Wants and Fears from coming back on.

YES, I know this will cause other problems. I'm so annoyed that I DON'T CARE.

I suspect that your code to turn this woooooonderful feature on for all the users after you disabled it by default for years is overzealous.

I play on a PC with no mods. Having the same problem everyone else says. Turned them off as they were illogical and inappropriate. Every time I change household, they are showing off, so have to turn them on, save change, then turn them off.

BUT. My feeling is that this only affects these fears and wants being SHOWN. My Sims are acting so weirdly, I’m wondering if they are still affecting them in backplay.

I experimented with a totally new game, and gave my Sim only two Likes.. fitness and Pop music. Sim is working out at Burners and Builders, Oasis Springs and the want is to go for a jog. Illogical. Pop music is playing in background by a fixed speaker. “Listening to it” doesn’t count. They have to turn on a residential speaker and listen to it. Having it playing in the background doesn’t count. However if they don’t like it, it sure registers.

Then some traits are not recognised, eg fabricating, or being a Freegan, so they could be happily doing these, but are registering as not having their needs fulfilled.

They meet a random kid on the street, so the prompt is to talk to them. At midnight. In another World and I have no idea where they live?

This change is dictating how the Sims should play and live. Totally breaking the game.

If you’ve created a Sim carefully with logical traits, likes and dislikes this is especially annoying.

Without the whim bubbles over the sims head in the corner, I am really disappointed with game play now because I am not sure how to build aspiration points.

I do not like that fact that we can only pin them not remove them like before. It is annoying.... I am about to disable them.. If I can get on sims seems origin is down at least for me it is
