Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.90.375.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them including High school
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I am not sure, it happens every time I play since High School came out.
What happens when the bug occurs? I am unable to cancel different whims for my sims. So if I want to cancel one (such as I am not building a dang swimming pool in the winter VLAD), there is no X option to cancel it out.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see the X button to cancel the whims.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. This started happening as soon as I installed the high school expansion. The latest patch/delivery did not fix it either.
I tried turning whims off saving settings, exiting the game, reloading, turning whims on, exiting the game, reloading, creating a new family, trying every single world, tried at least a couple lots in each world both commercial and residential, nothing seems to fix the issue. I had mod's originally (mainly just to add more icons for holidays) but I not only deleted them but I also restored my game files (aka uninstalled and reinstalled).

Oh! Okay! Thank you so much. I must’ve missed that in the patch notes somewhere. I am able to still pin them so at least there is that.
Now I know! Thanks again and have a good one!

Thank you! This was bugging me too. I wish they would bring the x's back--some of these "wants" are really annoying.

Now that I know it’s not a bug I think it’s an interesting new challenge to meet!

@LuluTheCuteSimmy understanding is that they changed the whims system to become a wants/fears system - whims have now become "wants". and it is by design that there is no 'x' button
"Are you ready to tackle your Sim’s Wants & Fears? This base game update replaces whims and includes a large selection of Wants that your Sims will want to achieve or Fears they want to overcome. This feature is on by default and you can toggle them off in the “Gameplay” options menu." - Update 07/26/2022 (ea.com)
