Yeah. I can't say I fully understand Sim.
Notably, I once had a discussion with a friend that went something like: "Well, there's really no such thing as Narrativism, really? It's just Sim, except what you're simulating is an interesting story?"... or something.
Anyhow, you say "give your NPCs their full expression" isn't the same as "give your NPCs what they want".
I'm seeing it as "give your NPCs their full expression" isn't necessarily the same as "give your NPCs what they want", but it can be.
In other words, can giving your NPCs what they want serve to give them their full expression?
More importantly, would you say that "give your NPCs what they want" doesn't work as an end, but it might work as a means?
(Sorry if this is retreading anything, I'm just intensely curious.)
