    Can we finally turn off wants and fears?

    @Brd709 patch notes are here.

    https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/1003915/new-onboarding-ui-scaling-and-more#latest

    I didn't see anything for wants and fears.

    We still can't turn off wants and fears properly.

    I've seen this sentiment before and I just want you to know that this has been sent up to the team. I can't assure you that it'll be changed, but they are aware of how you feel.

    An even better option would be to make the feature complete and optimized so it has more wants and fears and they being less of an annoyance. Then people wouldn't want to turn them off.

    No, I'd still want to turn it off. I want to tell my sims what to do, not have them tell me what to do. Just my style of play. I like the idea that the game can, in theory, support both options. I dislike that that theory turns out to be wrong without using mods to disable wants and fears... I shouldn't need a mod to use a feature that appears in a game options menu.

    And as we just saw, different players want different things.

    I don't like Emily, she has bad vibes. I'm going to kill her in my game.

    I get it newbies need guidance but also I agree Emily makes me plot terrible things indeed >:) which lovely sim should she meet.... Greg, Vlad or perhaps milady Specter would like to have a word... :smirk:

    OMG! I literally just squealed when I read about the "loyalty" trait! WooooHOoooo!

    Been wanting something like that forever! Hopefully it works as well as my current mods do for this.

    I'm soooo super excited for this little teeny tiny addition!
  • EmmaVaneEmmaVane Posts: 7,847 Member
    Loyal trait sounds like the exact opposite of Noncommittal, which is handy.

    I also like the sound of Fated Mate being toned down so it isn't the first wolf you flirt with. Still wish only one sim had to be a werewolf for it to happen, though.

    excited for loyal trait too

    but also kinda frustrates me its trait not reward trait

    as i play premades they just simply can't have it unless i retrait them and I kinda don't wanna do that

    oh well i guess it'll take me a while to raise new more loyal sims :lol:

    With the Emily tutorial being added and having to connect to Gallery manually to stop it from being overloaded they are clearly expecting a large influx of new players when the game goes free. I guess they are hoping these new players will end up paying for DLC because that's the only way they're going to make any $ from this move.

    I like the Loyal trait. More traits please!

    I think they will get quite a lot of new players. No one can deny anything that's free and it only takes the base game to get addicted to sims. Unless of course one doesn't like this type of game all together.

    I saw there was an update earlier. I was playing via the updated app. But, I ended up shutting down and decided to check it out on Origin. I will now remove my Mods folder and pray for the best. Oi!

    Am I a horrible person for wondering if the assistant and other tutorials include instructions for using the Wants and Fears toggle (that doesn't work)? :)

    Yeah, I probably am.

    I love the fan so much!

    Me too the fan is a really cute surprise!!
    And I still can't believe we finally got the loyalty trait. I can't wait for players to try it out since I'm still on break. 🥰

    It's mainly to help new players, but there could be some tips and tricks for old players to learn as well 😉

    Does anyone know how Emily the new Guide can be found in the Gallery? I tried searching, but so far no luck. I'd like to use her as a test sim for updates and such.

    That's not what I meant. I've seen a lot of players call for the Wants and Fears system to be removed both here and on Answers HQ, that is what I was referring to and what I thought we were discussing here.

    I've not really seen anyone say they want it completely gone - just that they want to be able to turn the feature off - there's a toggle for it that doesn't work atm. Personally I just want it complete and more optimized, but the toggle should work as advertised, otherwise what's the point.
    Allons-y!

    I apologize for the misunderstanding. I don't believe generally that the concern is the existence of Wants and Fears (though i am sure some feel that way) but rather the enduring inability to disable the feature via the toggle button.

    i'm just curious as I can turn off my wants and fears and it stays off? However i prefer it on.

    The wants and fears feature is very bare atm, and that's why it's so 'bad' when you play the game. So few wants and even fewer fears. That's why especially the fears are getting so annoying, because they repeat too much and too often. if we had more wants and fears connected to ALL the packs, then I'm sure 90% of the issues would disappear. There should be some logic to how and when they're applied. Traits and experiences of sims should be counted towards the fears you get. And when you've conquered a fear, it shouldn't come back easily, if at all. @EA_Cade

    Wants and Fears are repetitive, unbalanced and can't be turned off. Their addition combined with the latest expansion being full of rabbit holes got me to stop playing the game.

    I appreciate the team taking feedback and also that we are getting these bug fixes, but I need to see some actual changes, improvements to these wants and fears, and development being put into game play.
