    I think changing the whim system to the fear and wants system would be amazing.
    In sims 2 sims felt unique because their wants and fears were do personalized. Cassandra, a family sim had a wish to marry Don, her fiance. Not just...marry...
    Sims 4 sims can look unique but lack personality. A wants and fears system would make their traits more meaningful and make the sim more interesting.
    Sims 3 watered down the sims 2 system and sims 4 even more, which is a shame

    I love whims too. I was really disappointed when new packs stopped adding them. Part of my playstyle is trying to complete all the whims my sims get. In some of my saves I only do stuff that my sims have whims for, so my sims don't get to experience any of the new gameplay in the latest packs because there are no new whims.

    There are many aspects of the game that seemed to have been 'forgotten' and they are actually key points to het that classic Sims game back.
    Whims, aspirations, traits, lot traits (is a good feature from The Sims 4, but too neglected), lot types!, skin colors, eye colors, hair colors and I can name so many more.
    I mean, some of them get updated once in a while but the new options are so categorized that it's hard ti implant them into you general day to day game play style. I wish we would get more basic traits, more basic aspirations and more basic skin/eye/hair colors instead of only crazy ones. I see a lot of people complaining that the darker skin tones are not very accurate and I have to agree. I don't like the way they look and something is of about them.
    If only we would finally get that huge free update that would cover these issues. Whims and those in between loading screens lines/tips are also one of them.
    I do not care for whims, cause they are pretty boring and meaningless in this game. But if they can bring the old style back, I will probably look at them more often.

    I actually like the idea of whims but the way they were in Sims 4 is just to random. Had the whims been more so locked to personality points, interest and traits and the traits were continually updated with each pack it could have been a great feature as it makes the Sims feel more alive.
    Sims 4 went from "You Rule" to "One of the stories we want you to tell"

    I'm ok with that. Sims 4 whims are boring and provide no beneficial value for my games. Sims 2 wants and fears was just a much better designed system and provided fun gameplay.

    The whims desperately need an overhaul. I hate getting the "get to know X" when X is your sim's partner!

    Not saying that the whims are perfect that they don't need a few fixes but I still really like them I think they need to work on the cats and dogs whims repeat far too much and far too often also some pregnancy whims would be nice like food cravings or something
    more for sim kids and more drama please

    I used to really enjoy using whims to decide what my Sims wanted to do next. But it just became more and more apparent how random whims truly are.

    No expansion will be interesting for whims, in my opinion, unless they overhaul whims entirely, and EA/Maxis doesn't seem to care to revisit old content to make improvements.

    The mod is 100x better than maxis version which keeps repeating the blinking same whims. But as a laptop simmer the mod does slow my game down a lot :(

    They have fixed a lot of broken whims witht the last patch, so there is some hope they also might start adding new ones again.
