Do you play with whims on? How would you improve them?
Title is pretty self explanatory.
I feel like with the inclusion of Sentiments and Lifestyles, Whims should have been brought back and overhauled to fit :
1) Sentiments toward a sim, like "Argue with X" when you have the "Fury" Sentiment toward a sim or "Kiss X" when you have the "Deeply in love" sentiment, and so on
2) Lifestyles, as in have whims related to your Sim's active lifestyles
What's been implemented is already one step toward giving our sims more depth but I can't help but think that more could be (or could have been) done with the already existing whims (which are a nice feature on paper but badly implemented to the point that they removed them by default, uh).
I don't want to feel like an almighty god that HAS to make things happen for them to happen, I want to feel like my sims have a mind and a will on their own and that they are the ones driving gameplay with the traits I gave them and sentiments and active lifestyles I made happen.
Whims, like the Wants from Sims 2, are a way to give them this depth, but it need an overhaul for that. Maybe I'm just dreaming. Maybe some modder is already working on it. Who knows.
