Semi-permanent toddler grudges

You know, I really don't know why they can't offer options for so many of these things so you aren't forced to use them. Then again it seems some players don't like options. I mean a while back I suggested an option for something that a lot of people were complaining about, but of course so many people were like "no it HAS to be this way". It was for lot taxes. Some people were complaining they were too high, while others were complaining they weren't high enough, so I suggested having an option where you set your own but NOOOO we can't have that!

What the heck does having an OPTION hurt in the first place? If you like the default then you do absolutely NOTHING with the option, it's just one more thing people can ignore... like how so many ignore the numerous problems with this game. I'd love to turn off those sentiments. All they seem to do is affect your mood, which I see more as a negative than anything especially when you need your sim in a certain mood and all it takes to ruin that is for another sim to walk in the room. What you said about the flirty sims gets annoying really fast. When you need a specific mood, and your spouse randomly decides they need to walk from one side of the house to the other just for a kiss on the cheek and instantly makes you flirty... yeah these sentiments can go.

This "like/dislike" system seems pointless too since all it seems to do is affect mood and fun. I see so many of my previously played sims doing things they supposedly dislike, so what's the point of this system? For example my current sim's mother dislikes fitness, yet I typically see her at the gym whenever I take my sim and I see her jogging all the time too. Maybe instead of forcing these gameplay mechanics and features on players, how about allowing players to choose what they want to use with options.
