Yes, ideally everything would have an on/off toggle. I fully admit that I'm unusual, and that I get overwhelmed by games that are too "big." I'm having trouble enjoying the new Pokemon games because they're open world. I dislike open world and prefer story progression to be more obvious and linear. I don't expect the Sims…

I'm one of those weirdos who actually doesn't want too much in the base game. Now, I don't mean I want it to be a bare-bones game with no pools or toddlers. I also want there to be a ton of Aspirations! But I don't want a bunch of gimmicks that make my Sims' lives difficult. I like that TS4 is easy, and while I think it…
-
Thank you! That was very helpful and exactly what I was looking for!
-
Okay, so, as long as you successfully Regain Passion (i.e., become Inspired or Focused instead of Tense), it seems that you do fulfill the Want and overcome the fear, even if you don't go to work with the positive moodlet. It's still a pain when it fails, and you do still have to wait to try again if you don't have the…
-
Yeah, I was afraid of that. Has anyone seen a cat use them, or successfully gotten a cat to use one?
-
Man, you guys are scaring me with some of the possibilities I'm seeing here... I won't buy TS5 if it's subscription service or online only. That's absolutely where I draw the line.
-
Thank you very much!
-
I don't use mods. They stress me out. Thanks for the advice, though!
-
*sigh* Never mind. I guess they don't always show up. That ticks me off. Even when Fears are overcome, it creates a 3+ Confident emotion, which is unhelpful when you want your Sims to be in a different mood, and it's happening as frequent as the Tense/Scared moodlets for the Fears. I'm getting tired of these "free updates"…
-
Yeah, but you can just turn them off again. The Fears disappear then; the Wants stay. That's what I want to happen, but are these actually Wants, or Whims that I'm seeing? Does that make sense?
-
Wow, thank you so much! I ended up cheating the final requirement because it was giving me a headache and I didn't realize there was an 18-hour cooldown period...Once I did learn, I was too impatient at that point. But the help you gave is still extremely useful! Thanks!
-
Dealt with it by purchasing the Carefree trait. He'll still be sad when he comes home from work, but hopefully this means that "Regain Passion" won't make him tense if it fails. UPDATE: So, an update to the Carefree trait solution--because the cooldown for "Regain Passion" is connected to the Tense moodlet, if he fails…

Spa Day! The Wellness skill is great, and it's cool that it has some mini-Aspirations, too. I also really liked Strangerville. I wouldn't want to play through it again, but it felt good to solve the "mystery" and it was kind of fun to fight the Mother Plant. Plus, those Possessed Sims are so delightfully creepy!
-
I chose My First Pet because it's the only DLC that requires additional DLC to make full use of. But Journey to Batuu would come in second based on what I have heard about it. Strangerville was good at what it was and didn't pretend to be anything else. It had some great Build items, too. I only know that Dine Out is very…
-
I would like to see the option to keep Wants enabled but Disable Fears, and also an Aspiration randomizer to go with the Trait randomizer. ETA: In addition to annoying Scared and Tense moodlets, once the Fear is overcome, the Sim will get a +3 Confident moodlet which will interfere with any other moodlet you were going for…
-
Books. I say this as a book lover: Screw books. Sims are constantly taking them out of the bookcase, reading them for two seconds, then setting them down on the table or counter or floor, where they just take up space. It's gotten so bad that I've stopped buying books for my Sims. Fears. At least in The Sims 2, you could…
-
Thank you! You've been so helpful!
-
Thank you! Do you have any tips for Maintaining Harmony from the Inner Peace Aspiration? The best I can think of are getting the Carefree reward trait and constantly feeding him Happiness Potions, but I'm hoping there's a better alternative to the latter. It's going to take long enough getting enough Aspiration Points for…
-
Yeah, the random meanness is weird. It makes sense for the Mean and maybe Evil traits, but not for Hot-Headed or Erratic. It also shouldn't happen just because a Sim is Angry. If they're Angry, they might react negatively to certain interactions, like Mischief and Romantic, or even Friendly or Funny on rare occasions, but…
-
Oh, so it's not my imagination? I thought Sims looking at their phones while walking to the bathroom or kitchen was new, but I wasn't sure.
-
Thanks for the replies, everyone! I'm relieved to know I'm not alone. If I do ever get the pack, I probably will download a mod that will make it so that I can prevent pooping. That sounds like the way to go. Thank you for all your suggestions!
-
Oh, thank you! That's nice to know about cats, at least.
-
That's interesting; I've never had a Sim die from being Enraged or Mortified. And I only got a Sim to die of Hysteria after multiple tries; I had to feed him a Happy Potion and then get him Playful. As Tequila Rose mentioned, there are actions you can perform that will cool down your Sims. Those usually work. I'm sorry…
-
I prefer the cartoonish--but not *too* cartoonish--style of TS4 and would like something along those lines for future games. For me, though, it's just a matter of taste, and doesn't have much to do with what I get out of a Sims game.
-
I want online play to be optional.
-
Personally, I love that the kids clean up without me telling them to. It's like having a bunch of tiny maids! However, I get that this is not a universal opinion, and I'm sorry it's breaking the immersion for you. I know I have stuff like that as well.
-
I've been ranting about whims since they first vanished. I want new AND IMPROVED whims. Ones that are fun to fulfill, and even a little challenging (CHALLENGING, not tedious!). (But not too challenging.)
-
OMG thank you! I'll have to start doing that! I really appreciate your help @simgirl1010 !
-
That's true. And Japan is popular--I mean, I can't blame it, but still. I've heard people saying there should be an anime-themed pack. Really? Anime? I think Japan has had its time in the spotlight. As @RavioliWusGood (love the username; do you want ravioli rep in TS4?) mentioned, the rest of the massive continent of Asia…

I didn't participate/buy most of this stuff, and the July patch has, to use Sims 4 lingo, created a "festering grudge" within me, so I picked Sims Sessions. It was a lot of fun, and it was free! <3
Howdy, Stranger!
