I feel like the devs are actively eliminating any autonomous actions and events that the game can throw at you. They've said multiple times they want us to be in complete control of the game. Every single sim, every aspect of the world - nothing happens without us making it happen. Look at rotational play. Nothing happens to sims while we leave them alone - the crops in their garden don't even grow. There is no story progression.
About the story progression: I think that if there would be some kind of story progression in the game, it should be optional: players should be able to choose, whether they want to use it or not. There should be on/off type of option for it (like there is with aging).
I'm a rotational player and I don't want story progression. Many of my families in my rotation are related or friends and I want to be on control of what happens in their lives. I think it would be important to have that feature (if it would be added to the game) optional, so that those who want story progression can have it, and those who don't want it, don't need to use it.
And if there would be on/off option, then it would be easy to "change your mind": I could possibly want to use the story progression at some point for a short time. So these types of game features should always be optional so the player can decide how they want to play their game :smile:
About the whims: I like to use them. It would be good if they would update the whims. Maybe there will be an update coming some time in future, but it might be that we need to wait quite long time for it. Personally I don't mind, but of course it is sad for those players that really want whims update as soon as possible :neutral:
