I'm getting popups asking if I want to add a like or dislike to random npc townies in Forgotten Hollow that I have never played. Didn't even create them, they're game generated.

Perhaps all Sims have to have likes/dislikes even unplayed.
It might be that’s how the system needs to work, all Sims need to be involved? ?

It’s probably a bug like how unplayed sims could/can(? I disabled the interaction with mccc) register as self employed which created annoying popups.

Love the new blond & brown hair colors. I gave lots of my sims the dislike video gaming; I'm hoping they won't ever want to play with their phones.

Probably, but why is it asking me about none played sims? Just assign them automatically! It's going to get annoying fast if it keeps happening. I don't care if Pearshaped McFashionista likes the jogging they just did or not lol

I know when they make changes it’s universal and it might need to be adjusted. I’d rather only my played Sims had likes/dislikes.

Please can I use the name Pearshaped McFashionista ??. I love it! ?.

Pearshaped McFashionista, lol

I did this with dancing. Every time I put a radio in the house my sims instantly get addicted to dancing and will do that for hours every day, it's so annoying.

@Amapola76 I like your ideas for assigning dislikes. Think I'll do it that way also.

Me too, great idea @Amapola76

For likes, I'm not sure how to choose music.

Activity likes are easy enough, colours can be chosen from maybe current outfits or bedrooms etc, but how to decide about music?

I'm out of town and won't get my hands on the patch quite yet, but I think some music is fine for setting a sim's social level, style, horizons etc, sort of. I have some nobility, and I think some of them will like barok or classical simply because they were raised into that kind of "finer" culture elements. Not sayong that all who are forced to listen to violin concerts as a child will automatically like violin music, but it's a way to think. I will choose likes/dislikes just as much to form their preferred surroundings as to develop their character. It all blends anyway. A rebellian teen might like rock not necessarily for the taste iin music, but also could be for upsetting parents, especeially if they dislike rock music ;)

I will say that--so far, it does seem to have prevented the never-ending phone gaming (video games), toilet destroying (mischief), and dancing. If this is all that this function manages to do, I'm still happy with it.

Bit late to the party, I only just updated and had a quick peek to see new features and have a question.
Just wondering if any of the current sofas work with the new auto sofa feature? I have tried a few and not sure if I am doing it right. I assume it works like the counters in that when you click a certain one you see the different options. I so far have not see any. I know there are modular sofas coming with the pack but I assumed some current ones would work as they added the feature to base game.

@simm621 I think that the gurus said that the auto sofa/modular sofa feature is currently limited only to the new pack. Even in the patch notes there isn't anything said about it, so I assume there is no auto sofa feature without the DHD pack.
