What do you think of social compatibility?
For those who have the pack, what do you think of the social compatibility system so far?

I'm really appreciating the insight everyone, thanks :)
I'm not buying the pack yet because there are enough bugs in the new gameplay to make me want to wait for at least the first round of bug fixes to happen. But social compatibility is the feature I'm most interested in, and it sounds like it isn't too buggy, nor super intrusive like some other newer gameplay features, and people with different playstyles can find different ways to play with it that are fun.
I like the ideas about choosing a few likes/dislikes at first and then setting the rest as you go through gameplay. I play mostly born-in-game sims, and I like a mix of planning and surprises, so I think that's the direction I'd go too.
I think I remember the gurus saying in the stream that not every trait is included and that's on purpose. That doesn't bother me. I don't think I'd ever have a sim who would either like or dislike to talk to someone based on their lactose intolerance :)
