Me too! I have been saying this since parenthood came out. I dislike the character values and ask for advice but want the objects. Other packs like vampires and spell casters also. I wish I could pick what occult types appear in my game.
Okay, but they are improving by giving us some options. We got options with Eco Lifestyle. We can control something like how voting happens and can shut totally off the footprint. They started to go in the right direction with Seasons by letting us pick the kinds of rain and snow or none but not have just one or two seasons. They could have went one more step on that. I sometimes would love to play with summer or fall all the time. I am thankful I can turn off fame if I want to. I wish we had an option to pick if plants are affected by weather like we can for Sims. I would like more options and firmly agree with the partial pack thing which could be implemented through options, maybe.
