Would you like to see Interests make a return?

Interests were introduced in The Sims 1 (Base Game) and The Sims 2 (Base Game). It allowed unique conversations held between Sims, different conversation sounds and different body gestures depending on what they are talking about. Players can change the topic or allow a Sim to do so autonomously. This system gave Sims a sense of deeper personality because interests also determined how well Sims got along with each other.

If you don’t know about this system, please read the wiki for more info: https://sims.fandom.com/wiki/Interest

    I've only played Sims 3 & 4. I do hope they bring back all the best from the original Sims games but also especially the best games from Sims 3.

    I'd still rather choose them myself, especially if they come in an update and I have Sims whose interests I already have in mind.

    I always had my Sims read magazines to change their interests to what I wanted for them. Having them be something that's chosen during creation, like the likes in Sims 3 would work though.

    @PlayerSinger2010 That was the old system. Who’s to say that it wouldn’t be more customizable? :)

    This is one of the things I miss most about TS2. Interests go a long way in making your sim feel more unique, the current game would really benefit from them.
