Okay that is just so disappointing. I want older packs to have wants & fears too. I'm not buying packs or kits or anything anymore until this is fixed.
I regret I updated my game already, because I could have played with old whims just fine (I used them quite a lot and I think they worked well enough, though of course I wanted them to be better and to have more of them). I was worried about this new update but I guess I was too optimistic in the end. The team should be given enough time and resources to make systems like these include the previous packs. It would make the game so much better.
