Why have likes and dislikes?
Okay, so why do we have likes and dislikes? I'm trying to figure out exactly what likes and dislikes really add to the gameplay. So far in the games I'm playing, I haven't noticed any particularly ...

Interesting how some people have noticed changes in autonomy due to likes/dislikes and others haven't.
Likes singing -> autonomously practices singing - @EgonVM
Dislikes video games -> does not autonomously play cell phone games (I forget who noticed this one)
Sims do not autonomously gravitate toward things they like and do not autonomously avoid things they dislike - @SheriSim57
@RavenSpit That's already in the game! It took me a couple months of playing to find it though. If a sim enthuses about a specific interest that the other sim also likes or has a certain amount of skill in, like Enthuse About Cooking or Enthuse About Favorite Author, the result is as you describe, an especially happy interaction and relationship gain. If they enthuse about something the other sim dislikes or has no skill in, the relationship will decline and there's a chance the other sim will become Bored.
I have seen others say that their sims will start listening to and dancing to music stations they don’t like ( autonomously). It doesn’t makes sense for sims to do this.
Mine do this. I have a certain sim that hates dancing and spends 95% of her day dancing. It's very annoying, especially since she is one of my rich, snobby sims and the stupid dancing makes her seem down to earth, but really, it breaks her character for me. She's supposed to be a Karen type and mean, not tensely dancing herself some great abs!
