Do you/would you use whims?

I used to use whims. I like them because I'm getting bored micromanaging mine which causes long term burnout. I'm at the stage where I want to do as little as possible. Just enough to keep them alive. Whims need a massive overhaul. Less generic and tailored to their traits and situations. Just because I installed Seasons, I don't want to keep getting "buy a bee box" every few minutes until I do. Or be on a date and get that whim too.

Let's put it this way: After I came back to the game after a long hiatus and they in the meantime had set Whims as hidden by default... it took me several months to notice they were gone.

The Whims are fun and honestly I feel disappointed that they turned Whims off and stopped making new ones since Get Famous, I STILL think Whims have potential and that EA should know we'd like new whims to be added, not just new but also improved as well. The Whims system in TS4 isn't perfect at all, but it's still good and if the system ever gets an overhaul and improvements, I'd be really happy.

I use whims, but wish they made more over all sense, why get the whim to walk the dog, the sim doesn't own a dog, her family growing up did, but now she doesn't, yet gets pet related wants, and not to get a pet mind you, but whims that indicate she already owns one. I wish they were more related to what is happening in the sims life currently.

I wish they would be updated and improved so that I would have a use for them again.

I use whims but pretty much only if I need the aspiration points. I wish they were more exiting or personal to the sim. tired of seeing "Buy a Dishwasher - from not owning a home luxury"

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

Just like money and Influence Points, Aspiration Points just keep raining down on you.

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.
