The New CAS Story Mode

The New CAS Story Mode is interesting, I don't hate it, but I think it NEEDS improvements.
First and foremost change CAS to the way it was when we open it. Like, is this really necessary?
Having to click every time "no thanks", is going to bother me to no end.
Since this:
is availlable, there's no need whatsoever to have that question at the start of CAS, pleaseee remove that starting screen with the question.
Secondly, where are my sim biographies? The ones we can add to individual sims through CAS and Live Mode and see them in-game, in the personality panel like in TS1/TS2/TS3? What sense does it make to add a story mode but we can't even write the sim's story? (btw this should be available on all sims).

Why not add an option to start it on any created sim, occult included ?
When you launch the game it always shows up!
AHAHAHAH
It has something to do with the traits and aspiration probably. The story mode itself seems to add a secret "trait" thingy in CAS which enables sims to start out with a career, extra funds etc.
This Story Mode is really for Simmers who like to play randomly and start out with something from the get-go rather than wasting time adding that all yourself manually live.
Yeah, but every time you start a new save and go into CAS you have to surpass that question, every time! I hope they just remove that completely. We have the option for it in the menu when adding a new sim so it's really unnecessary to have to go through it everytime.
If you mean household biographies that’s done from the map screen.
No....See...that's for the household. I'm talking about actual personal biographies. Like this:
You can cancel it after you've started the questions. If you click the X at the bottom right corner, it will ask if you want to go to the Main Menu, Reset Household, or Cancel Story.
Oh there's a "Cancel Story" option? It didn't show up to me
It's very easy to miss, honestly. It's in the menu option when you click the X at the bottom right corner. The one that you can Reset Household or go back to the Main Menu from.
No, you don't have to create a sim in story mode. You can immediately cancel it and manually create a sim.
Meet my newest sim Victoria Ellsworth! She's a (literal) starving artist living in the Arts Quarter in San Myshuno. Note: I said she's literally a starving artist because level 3 in the Painter career is 'Hungry Artist'! Oh, the irony! I only have her CAS pic, a selfie, and a pic of stinking Caleb Vatore drinking her plasma at the moment.

I'm talking about if you want to do the story mode thing you have to start a new sim in a new way.

I'm still disappointed it's just for young adults and up though. Making a family of Sims would have been fun. Answering questions for children and teens about how they behave, determining their grades, things like that would have been a nice addition.
It can come up with some funny results, though. The first (and only) sim I created this way got the Good trait, but also the Public Enemy aspiration!
Something wicked this way comes!
