I find it funny though that everyone's talking all about the likes and dislikes, and the new hair colors, but no one has commented yet on the additional features for bunk beds that came with this update :D (like, bunk beds were so last March)

:V In typical sim fashion, once we get what we want it's time to move onto wanting something else.

I mean, I could kinda put certain things under it long as I didn't block the foot print with the bunk beds. Least now I don't have to worry about it.

Good to know! I wonder if the game auto-generates them in every new save, or if they randomly generate when your sims asks about their likes/ dislikes?

I played around with it, and it seems when you introduce your sim to another, the game automatically generates a like or dislike in every category. If you haven't met them yet, they will have no likes/dislikes unless you add them.

I just had a pop-up asking me if I wanted to add a preference for a sim that wasn't part of the household I was playing, wasn't on the lot I was on and wasn't interacting with the one sim in that household I was playing. Seemed a little random.

I'm happy with the patch. Likes/ Dislikes sound really cool, and I love that you can have up to 20 of them!

However, I do wish npcs and townies could have Likes/Dislikes. I have no desire to go into every household that I don't play, give them likes/ dislikes, and then move on to the next household. Maybe if there was a way to generate Likes/ Dislikes for the whole neighborhood?

I think it would add more depth to interactions with other sims if everyone had Likes/ Dislikes, then they could talk about their different hobbies together. I'm just not interesting in manually going into each household and giving them Likes/ Dislikes....

Unless I misunderstand what they said, I'm still a bit confused about it.

When I was playing around earlier in a vanilla save with no mods enabled, my sim asked Lilith some questions and found she dislikes the colour black and kids music. So they are being generated. They may not make sense though!

Maybe these likes & dislikes are programmed to randomly get generated for a non played sim if your active sim inquires about them?

Ah, sorry, hadn't seen this thread had generated another page so I missed your comment. It makes sense though, considering the upcoming new decorator profession where you're required to ask about a sim's preferences.

I'm basically happy with the patch, although I hope they'll add some more activities. I don't understand why they included skills from some packs and not others.

Anyway, it's great that vacuuming gives my Sims only a fine moodlet instead of a half-dozen inspired ones.

One thing I've discovered -- on the map screen, if you pull up a household, click on a Sim, and then click on the Likes/Dislikes button, you can find out their likes and dislikes.

What's up with the babies' matching skintones?

This happened to me. I had been playing the Pancakes. Switched to the Landgraabs. Then switched to the Bergsens. I got a popup about Eliza Pancake not enjoying getting sweaty and did I want to add that she disliked fitness. I did like that it gave me the option. But it was a little odd getting that notice when Eliza was no where near.

@Monet11 I wonder if it happens for played sims. I had it happen to a sim I played and then moved out. Has anyone had it happened with an unplayed sim?

@iliekponiez It would make sense if it happens just for the sims that you have played.
