I am also very sympathetic to an account of value based solely on conscious experiences, and for basically the same reasons, but I don’t think this necessarily has to be put in terms of happiness/pleasure and suffering. We can talk about conscious drives, cravings or attitudes to and away from certain states/outcomes. These might be called “active preferences”.
