Back on topic, the whims directly relate to the sim, what they are doing and what's going on in their world. When my sim is exploring, the whims relate to that. (dive, find a hidden door, find a treasure worth so many simoleons, etc. When my sim is back at home, the whims relate to their environment and depend on what is on the lot. Usually it's about increasing skills related to the sim's personality, and overall aspiration. And they also pertain to any festivals occurring. Like visit the summer festival. And it's also about gaining relationships and maintaining current relationships. So in this regard, the whims in 3 are MUCH better.
In 4, as soon as we got the chance to shut them off, I did. Buy a bee box/cancel/buy a bee box/cancel/buy a beebox/cancel. Buy a 1x1 pool/cancel/buy a 1x1 pool/cancel. Etc. Etc. Etc. They have NOTHING to do with the sim, their aspirations, traits, skills....anything. Just more shallow play.
