Do you/would you use whims?

I like the idea of whims, but I've never used them much even before they hid them. I did try downloading a mod to make them more interesting, but even then I forgot to use them much and found the mod slowed down my game significantly, so I got rid of it.

All that to say, I would love them to overhaul the system, but I can't say whether that would get me to use it more or not.
