📋 Features that you like but turn off

I turned off

• neighbourhood stories: the idea is nice but I like control over the sims in my game. I turned of aging for unplayed sims as well. I like some families to remain constant   
• Wishes and fears: I like wishes but hate the fears. Two separate toggles would have been better (mods can help) 
• Burglars: after a decade of no burglars I have gotten used to sims' homes being safe 
• Temperature effects on sims: I like sims to be safe, especially if visitors can die as well 
• Fame: it is well done but I have no interest in this theme. I would not have bought get famous without this option to turn off fame. I wish repu could be turned off as well
• Lifestyles: the concept is interesting but somehow I don't like it 
• NAP voting: NAP cause chaos. They are badly implemented 
• Getting fired (growing together) I prefer a more wholesome world where people don't loose their jobs
• Balance: I actually like the balance system but this is the only way to reduce ailments a bit. If ailments had a separate option, this would be back on

Features I would instantly turn off if I could. Some can be fixed with mods thankfully.

• constant phone addiction testing a mod free game after an update is a nightmare. Sims can't even have a single conversation without disrespectfully preferring their phone over other sims. Even rampaging werewolves use their phone. 
• Child dilemmas (parenthood) I wish I could turn off the pop ups that influences children's  character values. A simple x in the top corner of each question would be enough 
• Hair growth: I really wish I could turn the entire system off, not sim per sim and repeating this over and over and over for every sim I create 
• Burn outs: over time they are just a nuisance 
• Ailments: I knew before I got the pack that I wouldn't like them. Ailments are the price to pay to get fairies.
