Whim

Whims were a gameplay feature in The Sims 4 which are similar to wants in The Sims 2 and wishes in The Sims 3. As of patch 132, whims have been replaced by wants and fears.
A Sim could have up to three whims at once, two were determined by the Sim's traits, aspiration, and current circumstances (such as the presence of a friend or lover), and one was determined by their current emotion and would change when the emotion does. Sims in the fine or asleep emotion would have no emotion-related whim.
Originally, whims not directly related to a Sim's emotions would linger until they were either fulfilled or cancelled by the player by clicking on the small red X on the whim bubble. In patch 12, whims then were automatically refreshed when Sims go sleep, become dazed, or return home from work. However the patch also added a Pin button to pin non-emotional whims.
Satisfying whims gave a Sim satisfaction points, which can be used in the Rewards Store to buy various items and special traits to make the Sim's life easier.
