I disagree on bringing back canceling whims. If you play with whims on then they're supposedly things that your sims wants in their life. Canceling them with no cost makes their wants meaningless. I like that now you have to buy a potion which gives a price to cancelling. To me that's consequences, not taking away from the game being sandbox.
I like to control my sims, and I like my sims to think the way I want them to think, I don’t like random wants that I don’t think they should have, and I don’t think I should have to pay to change them. Some of the wants they have may be meaningless to me, and since I control their life, I want to be able to control their wants, as I can do if they are cancelable. I think the Devs should at least give us the option to choose. I don’t want to get rid of wants or fears, I just want to be able to cancel them if I don’t feel like my sim should be wanting or fearing that.
I actually liked the organization of the active careers in Get to Work, and didn’t mind the steps to be taken to move up in the careers, after all before getting active jobs we just had to send our sims off to a rabbit hole.
But wants an fears are different. They are supposed to be coming from a sims emotions…. And for me, there emotions should be part of their personality. Just because they like certain kinds of music it’s not all they think of. And anyway, I enjoy controlling how they are supposed to feel, and act. I also play rotationally, and don’t want all sims to feel like they are in a dead end career. Some of my sims are not supposed to move up, but stay in the capacity of job they are. They do not feel pressured to move up in the job because they are young and don’t feel the desire to move up.
I agree with this.
I expect the system to still offer up wants that make no sense for my sims and run counter to what I am playing. I don't think it's possible for it to do it sensibly. What I can do is select the ones that do fit with what's going on with my sims and make sense to me. For that I need to cancel the ones that don't fit and lock in the ones that do.
