Do you/would you use whims?

Whims were okay like the first 1 year of playing the game. Then it got boring cuz it was repetitive and also in top of that, I always played the same sim household (even tho I sometimes use cheats to add more new traits for them), so the repetitiveness became more apparent.

I haven’t used them in years. It came to a point where my whims for my sims overshadowed the game generated whims. And since they weren’t in sync with my whims I turned them off:

When all we had was the base game (and most of us hadn't played for long and hadn't figured things out), whims were more important because you didn't gain points as quickly. These days you get reward points for everything, so getting that perk that benefits your career or whatever is easy.
Back then I literally grinded whims, until I realized how easy it was to get reward points in other ways.

The Whims are too random. They aren't specific in any way to the Sim or who they are. For intance: Married, Elder, cat lady.. wants to go to the club? Nah. Goody two shoes, perfect grades.. wants to be mean to someone? They were just not adding to my gameplay in anyway. So I turned them off.

I would use them if they actually pertained to the individual Sim and not generic items and packs. I currently don't use them unless I just want to earn some extra reward points, which I hardly ever use anyway.

I don’t use whims because I like complete control over my sims, lol. In fact, I actually forgot that they existed since they somehow got turned off in my game, lol.

I always forget they're there. Then once in awhile I go into the rewards store and realize my Sims have a whole bunch of points and I buy them traits. (I also have a mod that enables those traits to be passed down to their children, which makes it interesting!) So, I do like the points but I almost never get them intentionally. The one time I did was when a Sim's husband was about to die of old age and she almost had enough points to buy him a youth potion, so I had her frantically completing whims to get enough points. (She saved him just in time!) :lol:

I've always used them, but somehow they got turned off, probably updated. But, I don't miss it and usually do my own thing.

I used to, but they get boring. If they added more, and they were based on traits as well as or instead of mood, then I would use them.

I use whims as they are. Yes, the team could include new whims with every pack to keep things interesting but they're all good for a sim as it ages.
