@FruitOfTheLum91 The thing is didn't they already go though this with Whims? At this point it almost seems like Wants and Fears were a "make work" addition :P
There are a number of MAJOR changed that need to be made to the system.
Things to change about Wants:
1. Convert the first want slot back in to a moodlet associated slot
2. Bring back all the moodlet and asperation associated whims that were removed with 1.6 and rebrand them wants.
3. Have the 3rd moodlet slot be reserved for the major wants that rewards significant asperation point (currently 100) (example Propose to significant other, be promoted)
Things to change about fears:
1.There should be a limit of one fear on a Sim at a time.
2. Fears need cooldowns periods implemented to give you Sim time to enjoy your success
3. Fears should reward about 300% more asperation points
4. Add a potion that makes your Sim immune to fears permanently
All of that is great stuff and all but it would take them literally months and months to code and them implement. The reason why so many people are asking for a roll back top whims is because it would be much easier to achieve in a timely manner.
It will likely be months maybe a year before the wants and fears system is even remotely close to were the majority of dedicated player want it to be and that is a very depressing reality.
