Bring Whims back please
Wants and fears are not gonna be ok for me. I was so used to whims! Turning them off wouldn't be right for me, I just am connected to whims. Maybe make an option button to enable and disable whims an...

@Zasz_Zerg there are only a handful of fears in the base game. The main ones being Fear of Death, Fear of unfulfilled dreams, and Fear of Dead end job.
Fear of Death seem to only trigger when you have aging on and it randomly shows up as time passes. I have a game were I do all aging manually with cakes and I have NEVER gotten this fear in this save.
Fear of unfulfilled dreams seem to trigger when you have not completed an asperation goal or want for a few in game days. If you constantly take care of wants this fear seem to be non existent.
Fear of Dead end job is actually super easy to avoid. Just quit. No seriously I have a sim who makes all his money of painting and licensed music and he never gets this fear.
I think this whole system is paper thin. I doesn't seem like much effort was put in to this revamp at all. At that point they simply undid any work or improvements they made to whims over the years.
And today the unfulfilled dreams fear is annoying me. Three sims have it and they only get whims they cant fullfill. We used to be able to dismiss whims and get new ones. And there used to be three instead of just two. Now my sims are stuck with that fear and the only way to adress it is blocked.
For example I need to talk about fears but to enable to conversation option my sim needs to either plant something or live in a dirty environment. Dirty stuff isnt a thing on this lot so planting something is an option. I dont want another plant because there already is a big garden. I planted four oversized crops and none counted for the whim.

Just get rid of fears, reinstall the old system until someone invents a system that makes sense and is actually fun. This currently isnt.
I think today will be my last day playing for a while. In one of my main households I got Fear of Dead end job every day between three sims. Then Fear or unfulfilled goals started to jump in and like I said earlier you can only conquer one at a time. My return how routine now consists of wasting several hours cheering my sim up just to attempt regain passion. After todays play session I am more tired then relaxed. The worst part of this is I don't even see anything to suggest that this super borked up system is even on Maxis radar. After the Growing Pains fix there social media went back to business as usual trying to push the new expansion on people.
When you load a lot go to gameplay settings and disable wants & fears. It will re-enable itself after traveling but at least for awhile you dont have to suffer with this crap.
Yeah, what @Zasz_Zerg said. Any time I load a household, go into CAS, etc., and I see W&F popping back on unwanted I immediately go to gameplay options so I can turn them off again.
