Skills/hobbies missing on Likes and Dislikes

A lot of the likes and dislikes that are missing were things that were being passed off as personality traits before. there are traits for liking dogs or crafting things that likely affect your sim in a way similar to how likes or dislikes do. They are also probably trying to decide a system for choosing what becomes a like/dislike still, because I imagine that the options would already be overwhelming to scroll through for someone with all the packs if every skill was there. Not to mention future ones.
They'll probably end up splitting the activities into smaller sections as they add more options.

If you read the Patch notes they did say..."For our first sweep of Like and Dislike categories added to Base Game"

We'll probably have a few more from time to time or when new packs come out.

I couldn't find cleaning on the list. I was looking forward to making my sims hate it. :(

I know this slightly off topic, but I noticed that when I asked an NPC about their favourite colour, their response didn't give a notification, like it does with profession, etc. and the information didn't appear on their relationship profile either. Is this deliberate, an oversight or a glitch? Anyone got any ideas?

It must be a glitch because when my sim asked another sim what their favorite color was or what their hobbies were, I got a notification.

Medium, vet, and pet training are not hobbies, they're skills. They don't really need a spot.

As far as reading and things like others have suggested, I guess it's kind of pointless because there's already relating traits like bookwork that effect autonomy and fun. It might be nice to see sims dislike it though.

They are activities, which one might or might not enjoy. And a lot of people are asking for them, which means obviously they are not pointless.

Yeah, pet training would be great for likes and dislikes. Would love it if my sims autonomously continued in training tricks for example. Or others who don't like training pets or find it tedious would get a negative buff every time they train their dog, as a necessity they don't like doing.



Oh by the way, does anyone know, if not doing the liked activity for some time will get a negative buff like "it's been a long time since I played guitar"? If not, it would be a cool thing to add.

Thank you, for the feedback.

I know this is very unlikely, but I'd really enjoy if they added a like/dislike for cats and dogs. I've seen other players on the forums say they don't want this because it would be duplicating a trait that already exists, but I'd rather free up trait slots for things that have more of an impact on gameplay.

I agree with this. Plus, it adds more than the trait since you can make your sim dislike pets as well.

Precisely, It shouldn't have been a trait to begin with but there was no other option at the time. I say remove the traits and let it be an exclusive Cats and Dogs Like/Dislike, essentially Just swapping places, not duplicating.

But yeah there are a lot of Traits, that should be shifted into Likes/Dislikes now.

Examples of Traits that should now be a Preference:
Loves the Outdoors
Hates Children
Cat Lover
Dog Lover
Art Lover
Music Lover
Bookworm(Book Lover)
Foodie (Food Lover)
Sports Enthusiast

It would definite Free up traits.
