Wants and Fears only for new packs?
Dear Sims Team.... this is frustrating. I think a lot of us got excited for the new Wants and Fears System and so far I like it. But it seems like we lost content. There are even less Wants than the...

I've always played with whims turned on. And because i play on PC i also had a mod that added extra ones into the game. It was fun and i've enjoyed playing the game like that.
But now. All my erratic sims wants to do is talk to themselves, flirt with themselves and listen to their fav music genre. Like??? She was on a date and since there are no longer any emotional whims i was lost. I had no idea what my sims wanted to do. And i just got bored. I mean sure coming up with your own story is fun and all but i like to have some kind of assistance from the game itself. How is that an update when you take away content that was already there?
It makes me so sad to see the state of the game right now. It's like with every update the game gets worse and worse.
I wish they had made it optional to use either Fears and Wants OR Whims.
Because they just took away a huge junk of gameplay and patted themselves on the back "well done"
I couldn't have said it better myself. This stupid update has made the game for me really boring because I'm a whims-gameplay type of player and I'm sure a large chunk of players are like that too. They should have separated the feature: Whims OR Wants & Fears. So those Sims 2 players who so dearly missed that type of gameplay could play it while those who prefer the Whims gameplay (like me), wouldn't be obstructed. EA THIS NEW UPDATE SUCKS! BRING WHIMS BACK!
@QueenRia , you have said, "They should have separated the feature: Whims OR Wants & Fears. So those Sims 2 players who so dearly missed that type of gameplay could play it while those who prefer the Whims gameplay (like me), wouldn't be obstructed. "
However, that wouldn't satisfy Sims 2 players either, since this new Wants & Fears system is nothing like the far superior Wants & Fears system in The Sims 2! 😭 I'm sure there are people out there who like the new Wants & Fears system in Sims 4, but I would wager that most of them aren't Sims 2 players! I was excited for Wants and Fears at first thinking it would work more like TS2, but now I would rather have the Whims. Perhaps I will grow to like the Wants and Fears eventually, but it does seem more difficult to understand and messes up how I play TS4.
However, I do wish they had made the choice to pick which system, like you suggested. (But they probably didn't do this because that would twice the work going forward, and would probably be very difficult to implement). THat said, they could have just updated the Whims system to include all the missing packs and new gameplay and a lot of people would have been ok with that!
