@comicsforlife I saw that pic! I thought of that too, but I don't want to hope for official Fear in case that's not it. I did notice that I have some Sims in game getting a "frightened" moodlet during thunderstorms but with a "tense" emotion, so...you never know. I'm trying to stay calm about it, lol. I don't want to be disappointed.

But I do hope they are working on some overhauls because it seems like a lot of people are asking for better personalities now. I know it's a huge endeavor, but if they can make some good changes, I really think it would be worth it in the end for general gameplay. Every pack would have more value if the base game Sims had more depth and individuality. (And customization!)

I love whims. I remember when I updated the game some time ago after a long break from the game and found that whims had been switched off - I genuinely panicked that they had been removed before reading that they were just switched off by default. The sims just feel more real to me because they have temporary whims, just like humans! Having said that, I don't agree with some of the whims (pool squares and bee boxes!) but on the whole, I feel that the game would be poorer without them.

I really hope they are overhauling the Whims because it feels like all my sims ever want are: The Bee Box, a Pool that's at least 1x1, and to compliment someone, all of my sims. I've made different sims with every possible trait combination they all want these three things 80% of the time and I can't stand it.

Whims I think should be a guide especially to newer players, I remember being new to the sims and not really knowing what to do so I looked toward my sims wants (I started with Sims 2) I don't remember what she wanted, might have been a job, hovered over said to find a job in the newspaper or computer. There should be a whim for everything there is to do in a pack, and I think they should have more to do with sims traits as well. I can't see an Evil or Mean sim wanting to compliment someone when they're happy Or a Loner sim wanting to join a club.

Wow, really? That's interesting. I too hope they're actually planning on updating the whims so Sims feel more unique. Most of the time, my sims all have the same ones. I can understand my materialistic sims always wanting to buy random things, but all of my sims shouldn't be wanting to buy everything in the buy catalog. I want whims to relate more closely to their traits and aspiration.

Whims were so boring. I'm glad they finally stopped supporting them. :)

I have tweeted some of the gurus about whims and have asked if they stopped doing them and to please reconsider if they have it would help if those who can would tweet them to so they know we like whims

I wonder why none of the big youtubers are covering this its a pretty big deal its the first time they stopped making whims or wants since the sims 2 even if they didn't like them it seems like something they should be talking about

They honestly probably hadn't noticed, I don't even notice whims half the time and that's how I usually play! They are so useless the way they currently are that people forget they are even there.

I feel the same way @Mariefoxprice83
