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 ?

The story mode itself seems to add a secret "trait" thingy in CAS which enables sims to start out with a career, extra funds etc.

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.

I must say I was excited about this story feature however I like to create my sims using genetics. Eg - I pick a random guy and girl sim and combine their genetics to create a new sim. Their features tend to be more unique that way. I was disappointed to find I'm not able to create a sim like this first and then add the story mode onto that sim. I think it is too restrictive to force us to create the story before creating the sim. I think both options should be available depending how you prefer to play.

This I agree with. I feel like we should be able to choose male or female instead of being stuck with what it gives me. And if there is a way to change the gender, I do not see it.

I get the story I want BUT it's male and I'm looking for female. Welp... starting over... again.

It says right at the end of the quiz that you should edit the sim to your liking. Just edit their looks in CAS like you would any other sim.

Yup. Found it. You have to click on plumbo by the name.
