Original Description

This mod provides additional hobby preferences, new outfit and venue preference categories, and general interests, for selection in CAS using the new likes/dislikes system. Preferences have unique social and computer interactions, whims, moodlets and autonomy settings.

Interactions in this mod can be performed autonomously so you get some gameplay flavor from your selections. Most have a Friendship or Romance impact as well.

Everything is optional (nothing will be automatically applied) and there are NO overrides to regular game functionality, which should make it compatible with most other mods, and less likely to break with patches.
Icons and writing feel immersive / natural to the game as much as possible.
Buffs are intentionally kept very 'mild' (in other words, your Sim won't be overwhelmingly delighted by wearing athleticwear if their spouse just died.
Gives your Sims more unique personalities through their interactions and reactions, both directed and autonomous, and makes bonds between similar Sims feel more genuine.
Social interactions add more than just flavor or relationship increases through new moodlets and revealing of relevant traits (both custom preference traits and built-in traits).
Several interactions, including new computer interactions, provide random moodlet results, increasing playability through the element of surprise (such as reading a horoscope).
