I really wish they'd have likes and dislikes for foods, and then maybe an entirely separate system for intolerances and allergies. Having yet another specific food based thing taking up an entire slot of 3 personality base traits seriously makes me hesitate whether I want to get Cottage at all. Given how extreme the effect is of a sim being around a type of music they dislike, that kind of thing seems a much better way to add that kind of challenge. I don't mind including that kind of thing, but having a sim 1/3 DEFINED by something like that is really disheartening. It's just not very good gameplay. And why include lactose intolerance as a major trait, but not wheat or any other food allergy? Not to mention the weirdness of a sim aging up to adult and suddenly being lactose intolerant, which I guess can happen, but isn't more a thing you have all your life or don't? It just doesn't seem to fit with how other traits work, since it's more of a physical ailment than any part someone's personality. It'd just be much better imo if food intolerances were just a comprehensive separate system, like the likes and dislikes. Having one specific food intolerance as a trait, while ignoring all the others entirely, just doesn't add much to me, and makes the game feel even more uneven. I don't want it in my game, so I guess won't be able to get this new pack, which is a shame. It really does feel like such an odd choice in how to go about implementing something that could've been a really interesting addition.
