Wouldn't that make sense? Is Maxis going to revisit whims to include likes/dislikes, lifestyles, and or other deeper personality choices? Wouldn't it make sense the particular Sim with any new attributes would have newer whims? Does there need to be a new slot for the whims for preferences since the other whim slots were reserved for things like emotions and traits? I would like to see new whims to reflect the new things added to the Sims' personalities. Wouldn't that help to make a Sim more unique if their own whims were a bit different from any other Sim? I think so.Edited to Add, while on the subject of whims, shouldn't whims be revisited to also include things that are in newer packs. The older games updated wants and wishes to include new gameplay objects or situational things etc. Such as buy a particular object, or maybe one for feed a chicken? I think whims should be evolved and updated to fit the particular Sim.

I think so.It makes sense to me but for me I feel that Sims 4 has is about to reach it peak or already has when it comes to customization or adding any worthwhile features and all they doing is making kits now which for me is nothing major or if anything minor.

I've always played with the wants and or wishes system. Sometimes I filled them sometimes I didn't. Either way, it often led to some interesting unexpected gameplay. While they are thinking about 'improving' things or updating aspects of the game, I hope they will consider a Sim's wishes should be at the top of list to improve.

There are CoL whims, but I agree, there needs to be more, and more in-depth whims!

I didn't notice any CoL whims nor have I found any in the code. Could you give an example, @WildIrishBanshee?Last info we got on Sims 411 was that they are currently not working on improving whims.

How weird... new and improved whims was something that i wanted so much when i played 4... now they add new whims for this new ep and skip all the content in between...? There are so many packs that don't have any whim...

Any New Whims For Preferences/Likes/Dislikes?

It was incredibly frustrating to me when they stopped adding whims and then put out that update that toggled them off by default in our settings. That was sneaky of them.

As Bienchen said, they mentioned whims in a 411 and I gathered from it that they know whims need to be revisited but they were totally focused on representation above all other things. And they said they’ll never be finished with representation, so it didn’t leave me with much hope for new whims.

I use Bienchen’s whim overhaul which was definitely updated for CoL, much appreciated! It has truly added diversity among my sims, helping represent a broad range of interests within them.

It's a bummer they will not update whims. Another gameplay element down the drain... :'(

There's also no whim for new traits after GF . If you have a sim that are Adventurous , Child of the Ocean and Freegan . Their whims won't show any personality .
