Where are the wants and fears?

[DesiDunklen]

I thought we were getting wants and fears to replace whims with this update? I still only have whims. I even looked in the game settings and I had wants and fears switched to on, but they're not there.

Takes time to develop them, so keep playing and they'll eventually happen to your sims.

So they aren't replacing the whims?

They show up as bubbles same as whims did, they look exactly the same, only you can't dismiss them. Mine's stuck on wanting to talk to her landlord who she's never met. I'm really not a fan of this.

Ah, I thought it was a bug that I suddenly couldn't dismiss my whims. :( I was hoping the wants would make more sense than the whims. Didn't realize they might be more annoying.

I am not a fan of this either. Especially if one of the wants involves incest with a family member. Aging up is the most obvious problem after the update, but incest is another problem as well that came after the update where romance and possibly even woohoo is allowed between family members. It is disgusing! There is a reason why the MC WooHoo adult mod was the only way to have incest and it should have been kept that way.

Hoooly crap. I really hope they fix that soon. That's a whole lotta yikes.

Exactly and who in their right mind would make a request that incest should be allowed to play with on basegame? Someone that works for EA who is a part of top management that is involved in making The Sims 4? Nobody in their right mind would ask for incest to be added into basegame. Incest (such as romance options and woohoo or mess around partner with close family members for example) is practical for a mod only which I can imagine hardly anyone ever uses incest even with the MC Woohoo mod, except for maybe just a few people.

its probably a bug. I don't think they'd allow that. If I remember it only happens when your sim is like the great grandfather/mother or something like that.

Don't worry the whims go away after a while. I ignored them and they were replaced with new ones surprisingly quickly. Plus there's a whim refresher potion which you can buy in the satisfaction points shop.

Well that explains that; I just started this up today after over a year, and I thought there was a bug when I couldn't dismiss whims that were totally pointless for my sim. I simply disabled, applied and then reenabled 'wants' to get it to refresh them to something that actually made sense... without spending sat-points.

Removing the ability to dismiss unwanted whims/wants/whatevers (seriously, what's the flipping difference, EA?) is a highly annoying and unwarranted change. Attempting to enforce spending sat-points on something that was once part of the core game UI is nothing more-or-less than change for the sake of change.

Requiring satisfaction points just to get a whim refresher potion is a rip off! Why waste satisfaction points for something that is supposed to do just that? Give you extra satisfaction points?

It's been concluded that there are no one from EA reading these pages, not even moderators, so feedback about features be best left in EA's own forums,
like the sims official forum:

While we wait for EA to take stock of their latest round of terrible decision-making abilities... you could use the work-around I did (disable and then re-enable wants). It's annoying, but it works.

[Lisa]

The workaround and the issue can be posted in the bug report for it as well :)

No one has clicked Me Too yet - if this bug report dies EA will never change the feature.. So click it! :D

I am afraid of playing The Sims 4 right now. Fortunately, I only opened one of my saved games, but I hate the fact I have to turn off auto aging immediately for everyone when first starting the game. Assuming that aging is still allowed even with auto age turned off that would still be a tedious and time consuming process for me to make everyone age up. I do not want infants for example to stay infants forever since that is pretty much the most useless life stage in general where they are treated as just merely objects.
