I just got the game and is it more complicated and less fun with the fear/wants and the aspiration added on to the game? xp

At first but after a while it gets more fun!

It seems intimidating, but really it's not so bad. It's actually fun when you get the hang of it. But when things go bad, they go really bad.

A visit from the shrink is always fun though. xd

I usually ignore their fears,and try to get their wants....actually I don't even look for the words wants or fears.But when I get their aspiration points above 14,000(it's easy getting that much) and buy this machine thingy and make their mood happy.

I think that having their wants and fears gives you more to work for. I really enjoy it.

I really enjoy the wants and fears in the game. They add something to do with your time besides sitting there. And also, it was a priceless moment to watch the Goth daughter get left at the alter. She went totally nuts and started blabbering incoherently. The shrink came outta nowhere and I nearly lost it.

I like the wants/fears and Asperation bar. It gives you rewards. But, I do like the acne (teen) and therapists (shrink).

I kind of like the wants and fears, It gives the sims a chance to be more like people.

It's easy to ignore it. neutral

I mean, it's good to fufill a want every now and then, but other than that, I just focus on my sims motives.



Here's a tip too: If you want to save a "want" that's worth alot of points, right-click it to lock it so you can fufill it later. wink

hey, at least we get individualise sims with varried wants. the sims before are just like clones of one another. now not all of them wants and fear the same thing biggrin .

there is alot more point to their lives with the aspiration bar...
i mean, you get to sample what they really hate/want! :J

in the sims1, it was a constant blahhfest with just keeping their wants and jobs at tiptop pace :/

I like it but do not always use it.

I was stuck playing Sims 1 on PC forever, because I didn't have a computer that could run Sims 2. When I finally did, though, the wants and fears were a bit hard for me to understand. But eventually you get used to it, and you can use the points for some pretty nice rewards.
