My Wants and Fears Verdict: Kind of Weaksauce

All of my Sims suddenly got a fear relating to their jobs. Most were in the upper echelons of their job associated with their aspirations and suddenly started whining about someone controlling their lives (as if the player isn't god in the Sims...) Every sim in the household wanted to change out of their dead end careers... Level 8, 9, 10... Unlike in the Sims 3, the wants could not be selected, locked or dismissed. I'm sorry but I don't play the Sims to listen to a computer sprite complaining about 1st world problems. They had accumulated millions through hard work and were acting like spoiled small children. I turned the feature off, and that's that.
I don't think free updates should change gameplay. If users want to change the way the game is played, I think that should be exclusive to paid content. The cost is worth it if people feel strongly enough to beg for it. Either that or make the Sims 5 with all of these ideas and see how that works out.
