Product: The Sims 4 Platform:PC Which language are you playing the game in?English How often does the bug occur?Every time (100%) What is your current game version number?1.90.375.1020 What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed?All of them including High school Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves?I am not sure, it happens every time I play since High School came out. What happens when the bug occurs?I am unable to cancel different whims for my sims. So if I want to cancel one (such as I am not building a dang swimming pool in the winter VLAD), there is no X option to cancel it out. What do you expect to see?I expect to see the X button to cancel the whims. Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods?Not now. I've removed them. Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system?Yes Please describe the patch or change you made.This started happening as soon as I installed the high school expansion. The latest patch/delivery did not fix it either.
I tried turning whims off saving settings, exiting the game, reloading, turning whims on, exiting the game, reloading, creating a new family, trying every single world, tried at least a couple lots in each world both commercial and residential, nothing seems to fix the issue. I had mod's originally (mainly just to add more icons for holidays) but I not only deleted them but I also restored my game files (aka uninstalled and reinstalled).

the whims can't be removed/dismissed anymore, the "x" button is missing, you can only "pin" them as an option (see screenshot).
@LuluTheCuteSimmy understanding is that they changed the whims system to become a wants/fears system - whims have now become "wants". and it is by design that there is no 'x' button
