"Judge Décor" Needs to Go!

@PipMenace - Not sure I can uninstall it, as it's PS4 in this case. Even if I could, I use quite a bit of furniture from that pack and it would ruin several established builds among 4 saves. If they would just patch it so it's a passive buff/debuff instead of this mess, it wouldn't be an issue. There are a couple of other bugs known concerning the career portion, but some have workarounds and not many seem to engage too deeply with that feature. This, however, affects day-to-day activities.

@iamsweetmystery 

There was an issue with that when DHD came out but I have not seen it for a very long time. What traits do the affected sim have?

@jpkarlsen - It's every Sim affected and they have a wide variety of Traits. I assume you mean the 3 Personality Traits they start with, because Reward Traits and Aspiration Traits would jack the list through the roof. This most recent Sim has Perfectionist, Maker and Freegan, and was given Cheerful as a Self Discovery Bonus, but there are quite a few I frequently use like Vegan, Child of the Ocean, Good, Neat, Loyal, Self-Assured, Creative, etc. They all get hit from time to time with a sudden compulsion to Judge Décor. Normally, it's a nuisance. This time it was costly. Perfect Quality crops are not a thing to be wasted.

Edit: If you want to inspect her for yourself, she's on the Gallery. Her name is Mellie Cruz, created under my alt account MissDystopian.

@simsplayer818 - I was considering that as a possible solution. One way to keep them from gaining new likes and dislikes is to fill all 50 slots. I'll give it a try deleting their Décor Likes and filling those slots with other things. Hopefully it works, though it still shouldn't be necessary. Judge Décor was just plain a bad idea.

@iamsweetmystery   Hi!  I agree with you about the interruptions.  It would be better if we had an option to turn these off.  Maybe we could get an option to "disable decor reactions"?  At any rate, I never give my sims decor likes or dislikes for this reason.  Same as @simsplayer818 , if ever I notice them interrupting actions to "judge decor", I immediately use the simology panel to enter CAS and remove the likes/dislikes for decor.  I know this isn't what you're asking for but perhaps a workaround?

Also, you're right about the potential for ruining lots and sims by removing DLC when you've used items from them.  However, you definitely can remove them on PS4.  To do so, you would have to uninstall the full game, then install the the base game again and only the packs you want, leaving the other DLC uninstalled in your Game Library.  If you ever wanted to test what happens when you remove DLC like this, perhaps you could first make copies of your save files on a thumb drive to preserve them.  Once you see what happens and, if it's really bad, you could then reinstall everything and load your saves back as if nothing ever happened.  It sounds a bit tedious but just a thought and possibly another workaround.

Edit: Oops!  Looks like we were replying at the same time so I didn't see your reply to simsplayer818 til after I posted.

@JonaO703 - So far, I have deleted Décor Likes from Mellie. She had 6, which I was able to easily redistribute among other categories like Music, Color and Fashion. Personally, I think the best long-term solution is to eliminate reactions entirely and make make Décor Likes a passive Moodlet trigger for being in a room that has that Décor. That would eliminate both the interruptions and the need to add a toggle to the settings. Such a thing already exists for having high Environment effects for furniture, giving the Nicely Decorated Moodlet (or something along those lines. I forgot the exact name.) Décor Likes and Dislikes could function the same way but +Happy (for Likes) or +Uncomfortable (for Dislikes) Moodlet according to the types of furniture and deco nearby.

Side note: Uninstalling and reinstalling would be a massive nightmare. I have every DLC on PS4, like, what is it now? 68? That would take ages to reestablish my game.

@iamsweetmystery     Believe me, I know what you mean.  Personally, I wish they would remove sentiments.  Some of them are cute but others are really disruptive.  Unfortunately, I just don't think that's going to happen.  I also doubt they will remove "judge decor" reactions completely.  Whatever the case, hopefully the team will take your suggestion into consideration. 

@JonaO703 - I appreciate the support, and I agree about Sentiments, at least to a degree. If nothing else, they need to be toned down. Thanks to "Festering Grudge" I've stopped giving my Sims the soccer ball. Staying angry at their partner for days over an accidental bonk to the head is patently absurd. The romantic sentiments are sweet, but the angry ones are often disruptive and disproportionate to the cause.
