I agree that the whims system could be done better, but I don't really understand why everyone praises so much the one in TS3. Either I haven't played that iteration enough or I'm missing something. 'Meet a vampire' as soon as there any vampire nearby, 'Use the festival tickets' as soon as they enter the festival place, 'Throw a party' as soon as there's any season holiday - they're no better than in TS4.
You haven’t played that iteration enough and you’re missing something. Wishes in Sims 3 react to what the player does. So, the game starts with wishes like the ones you mention. When you grant the wish, the game will come up with a following wish (in case of skill based wishes always a bit harder than before). If you ignore the wish, it won’t come back, even when it was a wish that was based on one of your sim’s traits. So let’s say you play a virtuoso who rolls a wish to play the guitar but you decide to ignore that and make him mix drinks, the next wishes that will pop up will be about mixing drinks, not playing the guitar. With that system the game hands you ideas, but at the same time follows the player (which for me at least is very important, I don’t want the game to dictate things).
