Wants & Fears Discussion Thread

I don't know if I'm just getting lucky and or what, but I did a longer session in my game and the wants are still staying relevant to my sim's personality and traits. I'm still not entirely happy with the situation, disappointed is a good description. My actress sim is not going to get any wants tied to her career, while her fiancee is getting wants left and right for her career as a novelist. That is irritating. At least so far the actress isn't getting weird wants, just generic 'do stuff'. I really wanted wants and fears, but this isn't it. I still want to see more before I give my final verdict, but I have mixed feelings right now. If things get bad I'm ready to toggle off wants and just go on. I didn't use whims all that much over the last year so pulling the plug on wants will feel the same.

It won't change my storytelling but I hoping wants would add to the stories I'm telling more than whims did.

It seems to have added a reason for my sim to not always be happy. I'm playing a law career sim who is attending university to eventually get a degree. I had her go to moonwood during a full moon and a werewolf bit her. She developed a fear of the dark(understandably) from that. I got her through the werebies and first transformation and then she had about 6 hours until work and she developed a fear of failure / not being recognized at work. I'll try that scenario again in a new save and see if she gets the same ones.
