Some Likes/Dislikes stuff that need fixing

Ah. One issue to share.

If you create a sim through story, you can't assign them likes and dislikes in CAS (just like with traits and aspirations).

Yes cleaning needs to be added. Neat Sims like to clean! I’m glad you posted that. ??

I mostly like the likes/dislikes system as it is. The notifications were not too frequent in my game, and they were all about sims I’m interested in. But... I got a notification suggesting that a mermaid with the Child of the Ocean trait should like fishing. That trait normally makes sims react negatively to fishing. I don’t think sims should spontaneously acquire likes or dislikes that contradict their traits!

I think once you find out a like/dislike that it should go in the Sims they know panel with their picture. That way you know them and don't have to keep track of it.

I want the game to stop asking me to set NPCs' likes and dislikes, especially via pop-up. So distracting and annoying.

Oh, same!!! i was looking forward to likes / dislikes but now i find them incredibly annoying as i like to build up my world with lots of NPC's

Adding to my previous comment: Watching Movies/TV could have been a base game Like/Dislike.

It would tie in with the Lazy trait, or a good counter for Loves Outdoors. Also, it could have put the Movie Hangout pack to some good use.



And for future reference, we could/should have a subcategory for Food/Drinks. This could replace the Vegetarian trait, put all the cultural recipes from City Living into more use, and if people have Get Together they could like/dislike Coffee/cafe food.

I am also disappointed with the options for decor style likes and dislikes included with the new pack. There are five different ways to say you like modern decor: modern/contemporary/cosmolux/mid-century/suburban contemporary (whatever that is), which take up a lot of slots for sims who I would like to mark as preferring a modern style, but no categories at all for several styles WE HAVE IN THE GAME! Where is the preference for industrial decor? Or how about art deco? Craftsman? Eastern traditional? I mean, we just got an entire pack about that last one. Please, sim gurus, if you are reading this forum, go back and create categories for all the styles your furniture art team has developed in the past, both as bb tags and as likes/dislikes. Under the current system, the interior decorator career encourages the player to simply makeover the entire world in the contemporary styles that came with the pack, which is actually antithetical to the artistry of interior decoration as a careful selection process from a variety of unique styles for what suits each home best. Unless you collapse modern back into the one category it should be and replace its redundancies with the other decor styles that exist in game but have been sidelined by the pack, half the beautiful furniture your art team has made will languish, forgotten, unasked-for, and untagged, in the bb catalogue while the worlds get ever more uniform and bland.

I think it's kind of annoying that "Hobbies" are directly related to skill building. It's ridiculous that reading can't be a Like/Dislike just because it's doesn't build skills. Just one more part of this game that is brilliant in concept and underwhelming in execution.

I hate that rugs are now movable in game. Every time I try to move the screen if I am unfortunate enough to have clicked on the rug there it is getting moved...when did this show up? not a great idea in my opinion.

I just want them to add all the base game and pack activities as likes / dislikes. There seems to be little logic as to why some were added but not others (like robotics yes, knitting no - also why can't my Sims like cleaning...?!).
