Whims and household wishes
Whims are personal household requests described in developer spotlights. The September test patch changed when they begin to appear.
Historical timing
The September 9 test notes say generation begins after Residents’ Needs is complete. This is a historical test rule and must be rechecked on the EA build.
Keep a household log
Record the household, the request shown by the game, its requirements and whether it is fulfilled. Do not assume that a pet or decoration satisfies every request just because it helped another home.
No invented happiness formula
The sources describe satisfaction increasing when wishes are fulfilled but do not establish an exact percentage. The tracker records outcomes without assigning unsupported weights.
