Everything about this new design is ugly as sin. The new covers look like they belong to PS2 games, and the new plumbob looks like it was designed in MS Paint in about fifteen minutes.
I can get over the ugly design, because it mostly won't affect me in game, but I feel like I'm also going to get annoyed having to click "no" every time I create a new sim and it tries to get me to use this story feature. I hope there's a toggle, or at least a mod to turn it off. Adding more background to your starting sims is a good idea in theory, but I don't think it looks well implemented. This isn't going to let me create the sims I want in CAS; this is just a fancier trait randomizer.
