Re: Wants/Fears: Constant want to 'listen to music'

Just as an update for anyone that reads this my short term solution did not work lol. It was definitely short term. Went right back to being obsessed with listening to music after a while, one want right after the other so... yeah. Quite unfortunate.

Re: Wants/Fears: Constant want to 'listen to music'

★★★ Guide

Yeah, I'm playing a teen and the only want they seem to really have is to listen to music. After listening to pretty much every genre my sim likes will it then move on to something else. Usually "Talk to your crush" and "Fertalize a bush"  Trait - loves the outdoors so that one makes sense.  Sim literally has a "romance going on with everyone they meet which also seems to be a bug so "talk to your crush" is constantly changing.  If either of those are fulfilled, then it goes right back to "listen to music."

I’m pretty much just getting wants rotating through the music my Sim likes. Listen to classical, listen to retro, etc. I had to buy her a radio since that’s all she ever wanted. Then there’s the fact you get 5 points just for taking care of your Sim every time a bar drops to red, from the situational wants, which seems silly. Why reward ignoring needs until they’re red?

 

I do occasionally get a “spend 8 hours in x location” based on traits - outdoors for loves the outdoors, on home lot for being a loner. But that’s it. The creative trait hasn’t thrown any wants yet, nor have any of the activity likes.

 

It gets boring fast since you can’t dismiss them anymore to get a different one - if there even are any different ones. The only other one I’ve seen so far was to chat with a random townie my loner sim hadn’t even met, while she was standing in the middle of her house with no one in sight.

@PipMenace What I finally did was remove all music likes from each of my Sims in CAS. That way, at least, they don't want to listen to music all day. They get no music wants at all which is a relief.

@PhoenixCordell This seems like a good workaround, but the whole system needs improvement if it is placing music likes as higher priority over everything else

Married couple should have woohoo want instead of always having a want of making new baby.

I also have this problem, my sims always want to listen to music and the want never gets fulfilled no matter how long they listen to it. Also, the same fear returns over and over and over again no matter how many times it is resolved. This is seriously annoying and over time gives them angry moodlets that disrupt my game. Look I get they they worry about not fulfilling their dreams, we all have that fear but jeez it shouldn’t be stopping them from enjoying life!

@SimGuruRitzy Would you accept a Dropbox link, or just Google Drive and OneDrive?
