I use them in the sense that they are on and I am willing to interact with them, but I do usually end up largely ignoring them. They aren't really relevant anymore and were questionably so to begin with.
For something that is supposed to my Sims' own unique thoughts and desires, they were way too uniform and formulaic based on emotions rather than personality. I'm assuming it is because personality is not that robust in this game, but thinking back even to 2 Sims with similar aspirations has similar desires but they never seemed like carbon copies the way 4's did.
We'd need integration with all the packs and a greater weight placed on an individual Sim's personality and aspirations. I know we can swap aspirations and it reacts to that, but I think a good QOL thing is to have some whims attached to the CAS bonus aspiration traits. That way even as you swap, their initial (and theoretically main) aspiration path will be salient no matter their immediate goals. Same with more weight on specific personality traits rather than the creative trait to inspiration emotion to inspired whim system currently watering the experience down.
