Once you enable whims, you will see little clouds above your Sim in the screen’s bottom-left corner. See what Sims wants, and if you wish to, fulfill the wish, and you will earn the satisfaction points for your Sim.

Here is how to turn this option on:

When the game loads, click on three dots in the top-right corner of the screen
