The New CAS Story Mode is interesting, I don't hate it, but I think it NEEDS improvements.First and foremost change CAS to the way it was when we open it. Like, is this really necessary?https://i.imgur.com/PVwVUOi.pngHaving to click every time "no thanks", is going to bother me to no end.Since this:https://i.imgur.com/qaOpXyI.pngis availlable, there's no need whatsoever to have that question at the start of CAS, pleaseee remove that starting screen with the question.Secondly, where are my sim biographies? The ones we can add to individual sims through CAS and Live Mode and see them in-game, in the personality panel like in TS1/TS2/TS3? What sense does it make to add a story mode but we can't even write the sim's story? (btw this should be available on all sims).

I enter CAS from manage world and I didn’t get the question again. I had to click on add sim and choose via the story method. I do agree the stories should be viewable once you exist CAS with them

Considering the story itself is not related to the sim customization, I don't understand why it's a separate option in CAS.Why not add an option to start it on any created sim, occult included ?

Yeah I just tried it out and I'm not a fan. I thought that I would like it, but I really don't. The questions make it obvious what your choosing for, and in the end I don't think the end results even correlate to who I am. And it will get annoying for me, clicking "No Thanks" every time I want to create a sim.

Tbh I'll just continue doing it the old-fashioned way and setup my Sims exactly how I want them in Live Mode by adding these things manually.This Story Mode is really for Simmers who like to play randomly and start out with something from the get-go rather than wasting time adding that all yourself manually live.

Having to click every time "no thanks", is going to bother me to no end.

Since this:

https://i.imgur.com/qaOpXyI.png

is availlable, there's no need whatsoever to have that question at the start of CAS, pleaseee remove that starting screen with the question.

Secondly, when we click the story option, there is then no way to go back/cancel it. We have to go through the whole thing to then delete the sim. Could a cancel option be added to it please?

Thirdly, where are my sim biographies? The ones we can add to individual sims through CAS and Live Mode and see them in-game, in the personality panel like in TS1/TS2/TS3? What sense does it make to add a story mode but we can't even write the sim's story? (btw this should be available on all sims).

If you mean household biographies that’s done from the map screen.

No....See...that's for the household. I'm talking about actual personal biographies. Like this:

You can cancel it after you've started the questions. If you click the X at the bottom right corner, it will ask if you want to go to the Main Menu, Reset Household, or Cancel Story.

Oh there's a "Cancel Story" option? It didn't show up to me :o Or maybe I missed it.

It's very easy to miss, honestly. It's in the menu option when you click the X at the bottom right corner. The one that you can Reset Household or go back to the Main Menu from.

I like that story mode makes it in a way easier to create a sim where traits and aspirations are concerned but it could use some improvement.

Badly implemented. Have to start a new sim in a new way. I like to create new Sims by snatching some from the gallery and making babies with them for variety. Can't do that here. Have to answer a stupid quiz in order to get these options that we can't even change for some reason. This isn't even an easier way to implement this, they went out of their way to make it a pain in the plum.

No, you don't have to create a sim in story mode. You can immediately cancel it and manually create a sim.
