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.

@DaniRose2143 I was hoping that wants would help with storytelling too, but they're actually going to be worse than whims for me, which is worse than I expected despite having low expectations. No more weather, animal, or occult-related wants/whims. If my Sims travel to another world like El Selvadorada, Granite Falls or Stangerville, they'll also have no wants related to any activities in those worlds. I think Sims will seem even more generic and lacking in personality than they did before.
