As stated before in a thread of mine, I do think that the favorites need an overhaul. Here's how I would handle them:
- We can choose our Sims' favorites. Like the option to declare a favorite movie genre, I think we should be able to declare their favorite drinks, foods, music genres, video games, TV channels, etc.
- Whenever our Sims drink their favorite drinks, eat their favorite foods, play their favorite video game, watch their favorite TV channel, watch movies of their favorite genre, or listen to music of their favorite genre, they get a strong happy moodlet from doing so. Conversely, should Sims eat their favorite food when it's poor quality, same with drinking their favorite drink when it's poor quality, they'll get a stronger uncomfortable moodlet from it than normal.
- Favorites affect autonomy. Sims will be more likely to autonomously tune in to their favorite TV channel, play their favorite video game, put on movies of their favorite genre, or listen to their favorite music genre. When Sims have a favorite drink, that will usually be the drink that they decide to autonomously order from bars, and the drink that they will often make if they have their own bar at home. If their favorite drink happens to be water, orange juice, or milk, they'll often grab said drink from the sink or fridge when they get hungry. When hungry, they will also often choose to autonomously make their favorite food. If it happens to be a quick meal, they'll just grab it from the fridge.
