Do you/would you use whims?

I loved whims and used them all the time to build satisfaction points for my Sims. But after awhile, they weren't updated and became very, very repetitive. I would use them again in a heartbeat if by some miracle they were updated for all packs and weren't so repetitive. For one thing, the buy a bee box, buy a1x1 pool, buy a stove, buy a bed, buy a toilet, etc., all those 'buy buys' need to go bye bye! 99% of my Sims start out Rags to Riches and it just makes me sad seeing those kind of whims, so I turned them off a long time ago.
