Hmmm... Not sure what you mean by pointless clicking. The new UI actually reduces the amount of pointless clicking. You don't have to click through several layers of locations (main screen->home->bedroom->laptop->english homework) anymore. It has much less grinding/clicking now. Also not sure which random choices you think have been removed. It's still random whether you can peek on Suzy in the evening showering or brushing her teeth or not at all, for example.

Sorry you don't like it. Hopefully you'll get used to it. I personally think it's much better and most of the feedback I've gotten on it has been good. I believe it reduces pointless clicking and guides you better on what you have available to do at any particular time.

The only thing that has been removed at this point is the lawn mowing scene, and I may add that back in a future update. I haven't removed any choices or random events. Everything is still there.
