Honestly I am clue less to what this poll is about xD
But I would like to say that I WISH the plumbob would automatically disappear when taking pictures. I find it annoying to use the cheat every few minutes when I want to take pictures.
I think by default it would be better if the plumbob is not showing on pics.
I don't like it (voted the one I did because I keep them, but prob voted wrong)but I want the other stuff like names and stuff and like those and I can't be bothered to cheat for the select few screenshots I take. ( I only take them once in awhile to add them as memories for my Sims and even then I delete most of them haha. After years of playing I maybe have 10-15 screenshots saved)
Editing the default.ini file is one of the first things I do after an update. I remove the plumbob mainly because I don't want it in my screenshots.
The headlineeffects on/off cheat is a bit too much for me, because I do like to hover over sims (workplace collegues, townies passing by etc) to see who they are.
Currently playing the Abbott household (4th generation now: Theo).
I've played with the plumbob for so long, it wouldn't feel right if it's removed.

I turn the plumbob off using cheats only when taking screenshots, but during normal gameplay, it helps me keep track of my sim's need since it changes in colour when the needs go down, it also helps me not lose the sim in large crowds.
I like the plumbob. It mentally weights them down from me from feeling like they are being abducted or culled and floating into space in Sixam. I feel like once the plumbob is away nothing to identify them for any other Barbie dress up game. The plumbob at least reminds me that they are Sims.
I know they were going to be blue when the Sims 4 was going to go online and there was an hint of it with the Sims 3 University:
I use headlineeffects off (or just switch to an off-screen ungroup household member) when I need to take screenshots but I'm so used to plumbobs at this point that sometimes I get antsy not seeing them over my sims' heads (usually when I forget to use headlineeffects on, doesn't keep it from happening though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
Yeah, I don't really mind the plumbob if I'm being honest. Like for gameplays they're useful, but for screenshots it would be nice to hide them every now and then, but then again I'm too lazy to be bothered so I always end up keeping them anyways lol
Just in the last month or so I learned about editing the config file to remove them. I don't mind them except for when I'm taking a lot of pictures it is a hassle to open up the cheat box, enter in a cheat to remove them (even a shortcut cheat), etc. So I removed them with the config file and found I don't miss them at all. This method still allows chat bubbles, which I do like to see.
I don't really care one way or the other to be honest. I've never given the plumbob much thought as its always been a part of The Sims as long as I can remember. I think I'd kinda miss it if it were gone though.
Loving yourself is the most simple and complicated thing you can do for you.
