56) Sim thought bubble in UI more detailed than before ("thought Cindy was being funny")

57) Green bars: Influenced by moodlets and needs. Now only have 4 icons for needs: Bed, Toilet, Entertainment, Food.

58) "Wishes" replace wants and shows what a Sim is thinking that she wants to achieve, like a certain career path. These are relevant to what is going on at that time. If on her way to the park she might want to meet a guy for example.

59) Lots of 'wishes' opportunities will arise and you get to choose to fulfil it or ignore it. You can just do the ones that interest you. They cycle frequently so should come up again.
