I do enjoy my game very much. However, I've noticed that recent updates seem to turn it into a game that decides things for us, instead of letting us decide for ourselves. I don't need the game to surprise me. I'm more into a sandbox game where *I* decide personalities and events, without the game trying to throw in too many "challenges".
Examples might be "NPC (who you actually never met) is doing push ups in your hood while being in a bad mood, should she dislike exercising?". Wants/fears seem to put too many sims into the same formula, I've not patched yet but I'll hate to see all my sims wanting to listen to the stereo as I actually chose playing with music *off* years ago. Result will be that none of my sims will like any music style at all. Neighborhood stories can mostly be turned off, but it is utterly annoying whenever a sim calls to ask whether they should try for a baby or not = too stupid for words. Some of those new features can be toggled off, but not all. It's basically those that can not be toggled off that makes me worry that I won't enjoy my game as much.
