The wants and fears system is boring and too easily-gamed

Player will always use the easy way for such systems. I read often that players don’t like that they can’t click wants away without potion. The team changed an 8-year system without a thought on player which was satisfied with the system as we had. Now we have two groups which don’t like the new system.

1. People who wanted wants & fears as it was in sims 2. (A deep system not this we got)
2. People who want the old system back because they never wanted such a system

I played a little with wants and fears but it’s still not for me, especially after I read fears can stuck on your sims, self after you got rid of it. As far I know there are less than 100 wants in the game, so it’s obvious that they seem repetitive.. As always it was a nice idea but bad implemented, NAPS (Eco Lifestyle) and Lifestyles (Snowy Escape) suffer from same problem.
