Do you/would you use whims?

Wish there were more and they were more specific to my sims personality, aspiration, lifestyle, traits, etc.

I use them all the time. I wish they weren't so repetitive though.

I use them sometimes to add a little more to the game, but turn them off when they get repetitive. I would use them more if there was more of a connection to my Sim’s personality or lifestyle.

The game gets really boring with every day being work, work-homework, needs, sleep. I get enough of that in real life. Sometimes I turn on whims just for the plum of it, and sometimes I turn it on to decide when my Sims will try for a baby. BTW, waiting for both Sims to want a baby at the same time can take a while!

I use whims, but it's a mod with another word before whims :wink:

I always use whims but I wish they were better linked to a sim's traits.

The whims in this game are absolutely AWFUL. I try to use them, and even with mods, its's not enough. The whim system needs an entire overhaul, we need an actual want system like TS2 or TS3.

One of the worst issue with whims is that pinning whims doesn't work. Every other day, whims will reroll despite being pinned. It's impossible to even update the whim system to something meaningful while this issue persists.

This has driven me crazy for the longest time, what is the point in me locking in important whims that can take a while to achieve when they just unlock and vanish? It ruins the game for me because my game play style is heavily driven by whims, I use them to guide me in what my sims want in their lives.

because no! you are not getting a pool so stop asking for it.
