As someone who used whims regularly I'm cautiously excited about want and fears. I mean could they have made them worse, what are the odds? I really hoping it's good!
I'm excited for the day when my sim, in a passionate embrace with her lover, no longer gets the sudden urge to buy a bee box. Or a dishwasher. That's when it really sinks in, "oh god I'm married", dishwasher dreams while smooching your partner.
I love that the wants are going to be long term, short term, and in the moment. That feels more natural. I have some worries about fears though. How badly will they hamper our sims as they go about their day, their jobs, and relationships? The Gurus did say you can choose to have your sim confront their fears and make them go away, but how much time and effort is that going to require? Is it going to chew up a lot of time and affect work performance, school performance? Fears should have some affect, they do in real life, but I don't want them to go over the top with it. Now if we had a scaredy cat trait, or neurotic, then I could see them being paralyzed by their fears to a greater degree. But most sims shouldn't have their fears become all consuming things.
Like with so many new features, I guess these things will be fine tuned when they see how we react to the frequency etc., some features are more invading while they are new, and later on a bit toned down to leave some limelight to new features.
I like that they are developing our sims' personality like this. I think it was a major wish from the community at some long gone poll, and that they have been working on these things for a while.
It feels more thought out than the whims. Didn't you want to rip your hair out when they got that inspired whim and before you can queue it up they flip to happy, then 10 seconds later back to inspired but now that whim is gone? Arrggghhh! Now with the in the moment want as long as they stay in that environment that want will remain. I can't remember if they mentioned how long the short term and long term wants last. I'm assuming short term would last several hours to a few days. Long term maybe lasts until you complete it or re-roll? I'm excited for this even if I'm a bit worried about how crippling fears will be. Like you said it adds layers to their personalities which they, and us, have been crying out for since this version launched.
