Why can't I set work preferences manually

I don't understand why this feature should be removed separately, it's not necessary, and it annoys people who want to make their own perfect little man, please consider the feelings of casual gamers.

Yeah.. I just ran into this loading up a new game. I created a person who is focused in Botany only to see that now gives them negative modifiers.

Also made the other starting person focused in skilled craft (Blacksmith, Carpentry, Tailor) only to have them favor unskilled labor.

Do not want...

Just to edit: it removed my 2 star focus in botany -_- wut.

Agree 100%. It's super annoying that I can't set passions now. Fiddling with the titles/modifers is too much of a pain to bother with.

yep i freaking HATE this. i hope they remove it.

My main gripe is that apparently everyone now hates unskilled labor, and the mood penalty for doing something they dislike is pretty severe.

this needs a fix, yes ?

Yes.

Or the refusal to do basic tasks that shouldn't be labelled like Stewarding.

Yeah, it'll need to be addressed before I pick the game back up again. Removal of player agency is not ideal and makes the game less for it IMO.

Got 600 hours in so in reality I can't complain, it was a fun ride while it lasted.

Indeed, please let us choose just like before. Let the player decide which premade character likes and dislikes instead of this obscure way I at least can't make any sense of. Previously we had the option to give 0, 1 or 2 positive stars, why not just add the option of adding negative stars instead of this?

I know in time there will be guides created by fanatic fans that give us a way to know what to do, but why make it harder to create your favorite premade characters?

Exactly. All other villagers will be random as that's how the game works. The starting few you should be able to setup as you see fit - which can be completely random or made for a specific task - players choice.
