Some Likes/Dislikes stuff that need fixing

The following are some stuff I find irritating and tedious (and lowkey bad UX design) about the new Likes and Dislikes system that I think can easily be fixed by the devs (or even modders).

1. Having to go to CAS to change the preferences. Come on, we have popups everywhere. Why not stick to that? Do you want to get rid of 1 dislike? Too bad, here's 30 seconds of paused gameplay.
2. Popup messages for likes/dislikes suggested by the game for a Sim pause the game and get too distracting, especially on large households. I think we can use the notification system for this since it's just a simple yes or no, and we can just totally ignore it. Mundane gameplay features like this don't have to pause the entire game.
3. Randomizer on CAS rolls only one preference per category? Too meh. I'm deep into gameplay, and I like to see what challenges and opportunities this new system can bring. I suggest 1-2 or 2-3 for this.

That's all. What are your thoughts, guys? If there's something you like to add, feel free to leave them below.

    Aging a kid up doesn’t make the Likes/Dislikes appear. I didn’t like that. You can’t select them in the same screen as you select their aspiration and traits. Why?


    I didn't notice this, but I haven't gotten that far yet. Hope they fix this.

    I don't have the issues others/OP are talking about or they don't matter to me. What does matter is:

    1. I want the likes questions of color/hobbies/music to stay on the menu 24/7 regardless of relationship. Once I go to the place to decorate, If I don't ask the color question or it gets dropped :( :/ :'( :# then sometimes, it never shows back up. I've noticed this several times. Sometimes, I have to get half a friendship bar to get the color question. It shouldn't be that way. These should be as easy as how was your day. They need to be stuck to the friendship menu.
    2. Once I ask the color/hobby/music question, I want it to be added to their pic in the relationship panel. I can't keep up with that and shouldn't have to ask more times if I forget.
    3. Add favorite foods to the likes dislikes.
