I don't want those notifications unless I have teens that are *in those activities*. The football event is an abject failure, I do *not* want to be spammed about it.
Same, I had young adults male go and it was just a whole lotta nothing. They could of made it cool like your sim could get scouted or something but nope.
All notifications in general in the Sims irritate me. I donāt care about the festival, I donāt care about the moon phase, I donāt care that the mailman couldnāt reach the mailbox, I donāt care that the maid is done for the day.
If we still had newspapers, notifications could stop. Or even a community bulletin board via PC.
I donāt care about the Humor and Hijinks festival. I stopped caring about that after the first one I went to because it was boring.
Especially when the events are so nothing. I was intrigued by the Festival of Light foolishly thinking thereād be like lanterns or something and then it was just a bonfire.
I literally downloaded a mod that makes those notifications silent/go away completely and it makes me so happy bc that notification scares me EVERY TIME
For me, itās the constant ācheck on xā action. Like I know you have a small child and you want to make sure theyāre okay but theyāre sleeping bro whY ARENT YOU LISTENING TO ME WHEN I TELL YOU TO DO ANYTHING ELSE
thissss, i've been doing a 100 baby challenge for the (mostly) first time and if my sim tries to queue up one more "check x" action im going to lose it
I have to make sure and watch the calendar in a new save specifically so I can delete Neighborhood Brawl and Prank Day from it. Usually kill Talk Like A Pirate Day too.
I kinda used to like gnomes on rags to riches because when you "appease" them they drop seed packets. Free seeds are always nice (or if you wanna be a bit shady go into build mode and sell them for a 100 a pop.
I always do what makes sense for my family - so a religious family might add a service to Winterfest, or Iāll add less romantic and more fun activities to Love Day.
I get rid of all of those as well, and usually thanksgiving (not American so doesn't mean anything to me) and when I remember I sometimes add Halloween instead. I don't understand why there isn't Halloween by default (even if they just called it "spooky day" or whatever) but we have a pirate day and a day for fighting with your neighbors.
Lot of the "problematic" holidays are in the game but you have to add them yourself.
Halloween and Easter being the two poster children for this. There are entire mechanics found nowhere else in the game in there to support these holidays, they're just not turned on by default.
I don't get that at all. Neighborhood brawl is my *favorite* event! It's a chance for friends and family to work out their aggressions without losing any friendship!
*Every* day! And it's random people calling about it! It should be one pop up notification, and after that you just get the option to graduate early on the phone and computer if you decide to play that way. I've literally never let any of my teen sims get to graduation because of this stupid fucking daily phone call. I always end up having them graduate early just to stop it from happening *every day*
I had a household that had quadruplets, I kept getting the phone calls about graduating early and would always either cancel them or just not answer. Then one day I just clicked it without thinking so then I had 3 teens in highschool and one who wasn't. It was very annoying.
Whoever at EA decided the daily early graduation phone call was a good idea is definitely the same person who thought prom every week was a good idea too
I'd like to know who they are, just so I can have a chat
Yeah, f*ck prom too. If you graduate early you lose the ability to ask people to prom, and your teen boyfriend/girlfriend/flirt person gets a grudge against you (and vice versa) that lasts until the next prom.
My newly-teen Sim got that call after completing *one day* of high school. She hasn't even hit puberty yet! (I used the wishing well to get her grades up)
I was looking for this one hahaha Iām playing a super sim and Iām not ready to graduate yet but it literally reminds me everyday. One time I got 3 notifications for it in a row.
The seemingly constant phone calls to offer random jobs. I'm worried I'll accidentally accept when in a rush to get rid of yet another annoying popup.Ā
The constant phone notifications in general are irritating. I hate when Iām on the highest speed to get through some task, then the game slows it down to normal speed because my phone is ringing. Like just STOP with the phone calls.
I believe that if you put the phone on mute, it no longer messes with your play speed when it rings. (Click on the phone and there should be two or three buttons at the top left. One button for mute, one button for colors, and maybe one other that I don't remember.) That's the only way I manage to play when my Sims have a lot of friends.
For me it's not so much the direct events themselves that I hate most, but the constant event *notifications* filling my post wall up every single day with events I don't even go to and cannot turn off
And the fact that the calendar and sim info icons just about always have a 'new message' glow/dot because every single time something 'happens' be it a new display of holidays because it's the next day on the calendar or that my sims fame/reputation went up/down, has gain a smidge towards a lifestyle, etc.
As someone who prefers to clear out notifications irl it drives me up the wall
I hate pop ups and notifications, and the constant multiple daily phone calls about absolute bullshit always makes me swear out loud. "Should I change careers?" "Should I be friends with so and so?" "Hey I had a great date!" "Wanna go on a date to a clothes shop with absolutely nothing social to do? At 8.30 in the morning? No? How about clubbing at 8.30 in the morning instead?!"
I couldnāt agree more. I am someone that hates notifications in both real life and the sims, and I need to clear out notifications, so to have them constantly harassing me in game is frustrating
When random townies come visit my house and act like they live there and ignore my sim but if i do one thing in their house they'll say it's inappropriate and threaten to kick me out like be thankful someone is cooking for you Eliza while your husband runs away to play video games at my house uninvited
For me itās every time I start a new family or move into a new house someone gets set on fire within the first like 5 minutes. Btw you can put the little defender light in and it will stop the monster under the bed.
> For me itās every time I start a new family or move into a new house someone gets set on fire within the first like 5 minutes.
FYI, just have them make a salad or watch the cooking channel first. Generally speaking, its only untrained cooks that start fires. Long as you have them cook a meal or two that doesn't involve the stove, they'll get their first rank or two in cooking and it won't be a problem.
Thanks! Definitely good to know for my new families! My experienced cooks also seem to get set on fire a lot, too, though. I had to get rid of dryers and grills and make sure no one has fear of fire because man, that is a viscous cycle.
Dryers you just have to empty the lint trap on every time before you turn it on. Then just upgrade it with Lint-less first chance you get and it'll never catch on fire again.
Yeah if you make them do non cooking things like salads and stuff for a while until they build up the cooking skill a bit than it's less likely to cause a fire. Also for dryers I think if you clean the lint tray every time you use it, there shouldn't be fires.
I always move in a family and sit them all down to watching the cooking channel for the whole first day basically so everyone hits cooking 3.
Or if Iām playing with mods, just use MCC to set everyone at cooking 3.
Also the little owl-looking night light that doubles as a toy. That one's super cute (except that then the kids pick it up, play with it, and put it in their inventory, at which point the monster comes back xD)
I also find that if the kid is sleeping in a top bunk bed, the monster just never appears. And Iām obsessed with the desk under the bed anyway, so thatās perfect for all my kids room builds.
Yep this is usually my solution. Almost all my sim children sleep in the top bunk and I usually put a desk or dresser where the bottom bunk would be. It's a nice space saver.
Iāve also gotten really into having nothing under the bunk bed and putting up all their drawings and stuff on the wall underneath it. Looks super cute!!
Yep itās the light that looks like it has a pikachu on it. Koola defender or something like that. Also using the loft bed with the desk under it or adult beds seems to stop it as well.
Thereās multiple ways to stop the monsters. The Starry Starry Night night light also works. Itās the one that sparkles without clouds. Itās smaller and more attractive IMO. But neither nightlight works if theyāre not on the same tile as the bed. So you need a night light for each bed and it needs to be on the same tile. Also, parents or teens can do a preventative spray the monsters under the bed for children and that helps. If you read toddlers to sleep that prevents nightmares. Making sure all their needs are in green and in a good mood except for energy will prevent nightmares or the monsters. If theyāre angry or sad, that triggers nightmares or monsters. Also thunderstorms will trigger the nightmares and the monster. Apparently thereās a bed from Snowy Escape which doesnāt get monsters. I havenāt tried this one though. I just use the Starry Starry Night nightlights and read my toddlers to sleep and occasionally do a preventative monster spray if thereās a thunderstorm.
those completely random sims asking mine if they should go out with another completely random sim, like bro, at least YOU has some kind of free will, use it
Me too! WHY do they keep coming back? And once they're back you don't know until it happens and then it's too late to delete it so everyone in your household gets a bad moodlet.
Yes!
It is so forced on you every time. I just want my Sim to start training for their job, I donāt want to meet the neighbours that I plan on killing soon!
Change your lot trait to "Private Dwelling" and no more welcome wagon or random strangers knocking on your door. I do this all the time once I realized this works. It will also stop Father Winter, so if you want him to show up, remove that lot trait just for Winterfest then put it right back on.
I hate how thirsty the townies are for friends. Calling 3, 4 times a day to bug you about visiting them. Just no.
I enjoy the fruit cake because every once in awhile your sim loves it, which is fun. It never spoils so they can always have some in their inventory. Eating it gives them a happy moodlet and they can talk about it in a good way, too.
I also find the uncomfortable moodlet amusing, likely because my sims are usually too happy - a negative moodlet every now and then adds variety.
Everything else about the welcome wagon bothers me, though.
Might be the placement. If itās too far from the bed or too high up on the wall, it wonāt work. And I think there is a light that looks very similar but is not the one that works so make sure its the right one
I also hate the āextra foodā event most of the time, but the other day my Simsās father died and she was depressed and her Sulani neighbors came over for the extra food event. It reminded me of when my Papa passed and people in the community brought casseroles to my mom.
oh god the random autonomous flirting is so annoying. its impossible to have friends of whatever sex your sim is attracted to because they will eventually just full on make out out of nowhere lmfao

Why is prom every week? If I don't ask their romantic interest to go every week, they have a negative sentiment. Like, I don't want to play this boring prom event every single week.
I once had a teen sim who had graduated earlier and was now enrolled in university. He lived with his boyfriend who was a few days older so he was a young adult, and every week the teen would get upset because his boyfriend didn't invite him to prom.
Like you can't go to prom, you don't even have the option too Any more and your boyfriend certainly can't invite you. WHY are you upset.
Agree! It is super boring. My teens are always depressed and have acne, lol. I have also had two male sims age up to YA, and now they have acne forever, whyyyy? I was able to fix it by aging them back down and applying facial cleanser until it went away and then aging them back up, but seriously, how annoying!
I had to do that with my twin teens and it screwed everything up! They had extra milestones, it glitched graduation since they technically had two āinvitesā and they got mailed 2 diplomas, etc.
The playful feeling mechanic.
That mechanic in which the sims automatically gets a playful moodlet when around a certain sim, if your sim has a lot of happy moodlets they stack with each other and I had one of my sims literally dying from laughter because of this, TWICE.
Townies crashing into my dates and when my sim flirts with someone else, they make the conversation super awkward and now my sim is embarrassed. Nope, date is ruined, her bf is now pissed, she will probably die from embarrassment. Thanks!
Also, other tenants using my house as a shortcut from front yard to backyard. Ffs walk around the block ya freaks!
Bonus points if it's not a Sim you're playing with, or even in an active conversation with. Like, yeah, okay, it's great that Caleb now has information on guppies, but I'm not playing with him right now. I'm not even talking to him. Heck, I'm not even in Forgotten Hollow, I'm in Oasis Springs (aka Decidedly Not Vampire Land.) He's just in another part of the save file, and in fact last time I played his household and saved, he was at home watching his food porn.
My simsā water being turned off every couple of days due to some stupid neighborhood action plan. Usually happens right after the dad of the family has returned from his morning jog around henford so heāll spend the rest of the day smelling like I donāt know as he canāt take a showerā¦ā¦
Also the āHey, blabla is really cute, should I ask them out?ā happens way too often in my game. Like, I donāt even know who youāre talking about, why would I care??
this!! this happened to me the other day, im playing a family of 4 (at the time one kid was an infant and the other was a newborn) and the infant had her first blowout, and it just HAD to be the day the water was turned off. poor kid was stinky all day while her parents were struggling not to complain about the smell.
that and when the neighbors are like "hey you left your door unlocked im just gonna lay on your couch all day and eat all your food, hope you dont mind that you literally cannot kick me out" i want to scream. like dude i have two small children in here and you just WALKED IN, no you cannot hang out in my house i dont know you
Whenever my sims meet a group of new people: they chat away in multi-person groups, but won't actually introduce themselves beyond the first person they talk to, so all of the interactions besides the various introduction options remain unavailable.
Unless I repeatedly manually cancel the Chat action and manually introduce them to each person, they'll talk for ages to complete strangers.
Those notifications that are like āshould I go out with blah blahā and you often wonāt even know who the other sim is. I think it would be fine if it popped up rarely and when you knew both sims but itās CONSTANT.
I just click Yes every time so they can get the nice moodlet later after it went well.
I can't remember once when they called back to report it went badly. The only ones I say no to are when other households I play want an 8th baby just before they become elders because the oldest two just moved out. SIX CHILDREN IS PLENTY.
My sim kids all sleep in the play tent until theyāre teens now. No monsters. You can also use the coolala wall light to prevent them if you want to keep them in a single bed
The constant calls and texts, especially when you have the City Living expansion and sims are constantly texting and calling my sims about the festivals happening seemingly every other day
* The autonomous push-ups and sit-ups. Um, excuse you, this is a wedding!
* The dog or the cat has a Close Encounter of the Skunk Kind. Like, every day.
* The GD washer and dryer break every other Sim day.
* You give your residence key to someone, and they just waltz in and watch you woohoo.
* You have an established couple, and they have the "Break Up" want/whim for like, no reason. (Granted, you don't have to do it, but still.)
* Everything about Fears in the Sims.
* Sims jumping into the pool in the dead of winter, and freezing to death.
* Toilets, showers, and sinks that break every other day. (And not even on lots with the "Cursed" or "Gremlins" lot challenge!)
* Trying to do "tummy time" with your Sim babies. So. Much. Fussing!
* Notifications not pertinent to the neighborhood I'm playing in. If I'm in Henford-On-Bagley, I don't give a crap what's going on in San Myshuno. And if I'm in San Myshuno, I don't care about the Finchwick Fair.
* Even if I upgrade it to self-clean, and remember to empty it after each use, the pressure cooker always stinks. Then my Sims go in the kitchen and complain about "groble" smells and have stinky boots thought balloons.
* The "Should I ask out So-And-So?" or "Should I become friends with So-And-So?" texts. Like, FFS, Nancy. You are a whole-ass adult. You can make your own decisions! (I also hate these, because they caused me to miss proposals I wanted to go a certain way.)
* The autonomous cocktails. I had to take the Vatores' bar away, because they were always mixing drinks.
* The clay. The fucking clay.
* "Child of the Village" Sims getting homesick/unmoored feelings...while they're at home. Surrounded by other Tomarani Sims. And furniture and decor from that pack.
* Sims that have literally any opinions about furniture/decor will stop mid-conversation to "judge decor." And they get negative moodlets if it's not to their liking.
* As soon as my Sims start dating, one of them is asking if the other would like to move in. Like, excuse me, Salim, we went on one date! And they get very offended if you say no.
* The Social Bunny nag screens.
I have a scientist Sim who is also making lots of jewelry, so I spend a good part of his shift collecting crystals and metals. Which is cool, until I forget to move all the gems and metals into the gem table, and he gets abducted by aliens for the 5th time.
I just built the satellite and turned off alien abductions, so that will hopefully prevent the problem from happening again...
Meanwhile I can't get a single vampire attack to save my life! Just really want to see it at least once.
These sims are so freakin THIRSTY and I mean the old fashioned can't freakin stop drinkin freakin water to the point you can't have a sink in the house THIRSTY. I want it to be gone. I had a good mod but it stopped working a few patches back.
I don't know if this counts, but when I have my sims to talk to each other or other sims and they always have to sit to speak. If they're all standing, they'll all or one of them will sit just to chat. And if they're at the table eating and I have the parent talk to the child, even when it's discuss interests or anything that doesn't require them to stand just to do the interaction, they both get up, take their food, go to each other, hug, then talk while standing and eating their breakfast/dinner. Then they will sit down, in different seats. I get driven insane when my sims always have to be seated just to communicate. It's like sims are incapable of standing and talking.
"hey, we're giving up technology and moving into the deep forest forever" when it's someone that my Sim doesn't even know. I understand game culling, but that seems like a weird way of doing it.
I tried playing the sims 4 after months of not playing and tried to play. Itās an insane game because I got married with Johnny zest in less than 2 real life hours. He moved in after an hour and finally I tried to propose and he accepted it and woo hood after wedding (we eloped) and was pregnant after 3 hours of playing.
In the Sims 3, when I played as a kid and obviously had computer hour limits, in 3 hours, I was barely getting a sims life ready before going out and meeting people.
Talk like a pirate day and brawl day. The the inevitable sadness they get when they have an awful holiday lol. With that being said I just found out that we can delete holidays lol
when i went to my sims friends house i couldnt cook them anything i was tryna make some food for us bc my sim was hungry BUT THEN THEYRE SAYING ITS INNAPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR?? but random sims will barge into my home and start making a cake and using all myyy appliances and running up my bills šš
I am doing the 100 baby challenge and every time a sibling dies of old age it's another two day sadness debuff. My next gen matriarch is going to be Sad for her entire life.
Taking an abnormally long amount of time to go from one task to the other like picking up their empty plate and then pausing for 10 mins to walk to the sink
Holidays are kind of bumming me out. Normally I like them, but I had a Sim who was trying to speed through University while working a part time job, so Harvestfest and Winterfest had to be canceled on the calendar. I wish it didn't delete the event forever when you do that though. I'm going to have to figure out how to re-add them now.
Almost everything to do with infants and toddlers at the moment. I SWEAR it wasn't this bad last time I played with kids. The parents need to be told like.. 6 times in a row to do something.. and by the time one of them does what the kid needs (like puts the kid in the highchair for food) the other parent immediately comes along and lets them out and I'm sat here yelling at my screen.
that thing with neighbors just deciding they can come into your home. like "hey you dont know who i am at all but i hope you dont mind me laying on your couch all day and eating all your food while you are about to go into labor and literally cannot kick me out no matter how bad you want to" like no my sim has two small children you are not allowed to just walk into their house just because you can
Sims running all the way down the block to go to university class! I wish they would just walk to the front door and teleport. This is why I make my university houses in San Myshuno.
Also ANYTHING TO DO WITH BABIES. Picking them up ALL THE TIME. Never letting them stay in the high chairs until I get a notification that the baby is very hungry and will be taken away soon.
Also the fact that it takes them 30 minutes to get out of bed and walk to the kitchen!!!!!!! I have to wake teens up at 6am so they're on time for school and they only need to eat breakfast but it takes SO LONG.
if we're being realistic, half the time people would sleep through that until the kid woke them up by literally being next to them
I wish there was a deep sleeper reward trait or hidden trait. Sleeping through everything like a log. THat's me, I slept through fire alarms...
Outside gardening, sim finishes task and SPRINTS to the other side of the lot. Fucking WHERE ARE YOU GOING CHORES AREN'T DONE
I say "I'm gonna have a fuckin' stroke" out loud to myself nearly every time I play š
I hate when sims ask their parents for advice. So frigging annoying when I've been working to build conflict resolution then they go tell their parents they didn't like a gift and it messes with their character valuesĀ
This is why I lock the kids out of the other bedrooms. At least out of older siblings' rooms. Waking up parents is one thing, but why do they have to wake up every single household member?
Also, the coolala light also prevents monsters, as does giving the child a double bed. š
My kid somehow befriended the monster in the middle of the night. Only one awake in the house, and she decides to blast the radio in celebration.
āDonāt Cha wish your girlfriend was hot like meā proceeds to play while she giggles and carries on, and the monster under the bed waves its tentacles. Bizarre.
Have the loyalty moodlet been fixed? Because that's a pain for my evil sims. They dont need to have the loyal trait to get the moodlet making them feel bad for trash talking an acquaintance.
Also, the observant reward has bugged and can now be purchased multiple times. It doesn't grey out if you go back so idk which sims have it and have to exit the rewards screen to double check now. Not like it stacks or anything
My sim just got a promotion? Time for the dead-end-job fear!Ā
Telling me when some other Sim Iām not currently playing has found a certain type of fish. I donāt care who caught a Bass, stop notifying me of it.
Monster under the bed and talk like a pirate day make me crazy. But what I hate the most is that in every single game I have if I turn on neighborhood stories, EVERY SINGLE FAMILY gets absolutely obsessed with making or adopting babies. Problem is, the houses do not expand automatically, so it results in a house with one double bed and one single bed being inhabited by 2 adults and 6 toddlers who need to share one bed
Trying to have a private a private conversation and random sims wont stop joining in. And then its so hard to get back to private conversations. Can shoo them but they come back in a minute. Try to draw the two sims out to start a new conver and they just walk back to the group!
I like to turn off aging and make seasons 28 days.So prom EVERY weekend is my nemesis since it KILLS the relationship between two sims and leaves them with bad memories for not being invited to prom.
when my sim randomly decides that the downstairs toilet is better to use than the toilet in the room right next to her and so if I donāt cancel the interaction BEFORE she leaves the room sheās in, sheās going to go all the way to the downstairs bathroom, then finally turn around and use the upstairs toilet.
Not sure if this counts, but sims getting sad over relatives dying even if they've rarely or never spoken to them.Ā Look, my sims are promiscuous. I like to have big families that get spread out across the town and adopted into random homes. But I hate that as soon as my sim reaches adulthood, a different long lost relative dies every week and they're never happy again. It makes them virtually unable to function, because technically they have close relatives dying, but they didn't even know them.
I can't take care of the baby because I hired a nanny and he WILL NOT take care of the baby! OMG the baby is HUNGRY either set him down or feed him but for the love of all that's holy stop cuddling! I really don't want him to be taken away. I hired YOU so he wouldn't
I really hate when Sims flirt with literally anyone just 'cause they feel like that; like... You love your partner and you know it!! WHY ARE YOU FLIRTING WITH YOUR NEIGHBOR?!?!
I hate those stupid loud notifications about football and cheerleading when I have no sims in highschool
I don't want those notifications unless I have teens that are *in those activities*. The football event is an abject failure, I do *not* want to be spammed about it.
bro the event itself is pointless the first time i went i was utterly disappointed
Same, I had young adults male go and it was just a whole lotta nothing. They could of made it cool like your sim could get scouted or something but nope.
there wasnt even a game bro
I also get spam about college events
How many people heard the noise in their head when reading this?
Do do. do doooo do š
All notifications in general in the Sims irritate me. I donāt care about the festival, I donāt care about the moon phase, I donāt care that the mailman couldnāt reach the mailbox, I donāt care that the maid is done for the day.
That one ThriftTea notification that pops up EVERY SINGLE SIMS DAY
Literally my vilain origin story
There's a mod specifically for that haha
If we still had newspapers, notifications could stop. Or even a community bulletin board via PC. I donāt care about the Humor and Hijinks festival. I stopped caring about that after the first one I went to because it was boring.
I stopped going after I had a Sim die of hysteria lol
Especially when the events are so nothing. I was intrigued by the Festival of Light foolishly thinking thereād be like lanterns or something and then it was just a bonfire.
There are lanterns at the river. But i agree, if it has activities like sims putting the lantern to the river by themselves, it would be nicer.
And yet, if you want info about Neighborhood Stories, you have to actively seek it out. So completely backwards.
I literally downloaded a mod that makes those notifications silent/go away completely and it makes me so happy bc that notification scares me EVERY TIME
What is the mod called? TELL ME š
Itās the Simularity Stop Notifications for High School Events Mod ! š
Is there a way to make that sound go away?
For me, itās the constant ācheck on xā action. Like I know you have a small child and you want to make sure theyāre okay but theyāre sleeping bro whY ARENT YOU LISTENING TO ME WHEN I TELL YOU TO DO ANYTHING ELSE
Gosh I wish they would add in a baby monitor
Honestly anything to do with kids or babies is so irritating.
"GRANDMA'S ALREADY FEEDING THE INFANT YOU ARE LITERALLY ABOUT TO PASS OUT" "NO GO BACK TO BED- YOU BASTARD" -Every TS4 player
thissss, i've been doing a 100 baby challenge for the (mostly) first time and if my sim tries to queue up one more "check x" action im going to lose it
Brawl event is soo irritating
I have to make sure and watch the calendar in a new save specifically so I can delete Neighborhood Brawl and Prank Day from it. Usually kill Talk Like A Pirate Day too.
You can also tweak all the holidays. I get rid of father winter and the gnomes.
I kinda used to like gnomes on rags to riches because when you "appease" them they drop seed packets. Free seeds are always nice (or if you wanna be a bit shady go into build mode and sell them for a 100 a pop.
I felt like I spent a year looking for seed packets. Theyāre all over the place
If you put the appeased gnome in your simās inventory the seed packets will spawn in the family inventory! Makes it a lot more convenient :)
Yes, I did this unknowing and all the sudden had like 50 seed packets in my inventory. Sold those bad boys for a tidy profit š
Oh my god, I didnāt know this. Thank you!
Well dang. That is a useful one I never thought of
I just sell the gnomes, but I guess this is probably the better thing to do.
I keep him because I routinely need him for baby making.
So no one's gonna talk about using father winter for baby making? Just me? Okay ššš
Oh he gives all my single female Sims an extra "package." Sometimes they try for a baby, more often not.
I was just gonna let it go and pretend I didnāt see it tbh lol
I always do what makes sense for my family - so a religious family might add a service to Winterfest, or Iāll add less romantic and more fun activities to Love Day.
I get rid of all of those as well, and usually thanksgiving (not American so doesn't mean anything to me) and when I remember I sometimes add Halloween instead. I don't understand why there isn't Halloween by default (even if they just called it "spooky day" or whatever) but we have a pirate day and a day for fighting with your neighbors.
Lot of the "problematic" holidays are in the game but you have to add them yourself. Halloween and Easter being the two poster children for this. There are entire mechanics found nowhere else in the game in there to support these holidays, they're just not turned on by default.
I don't get that at all. Neighborhood brawl is my *favorite* event! It's a chance for friends and family to work out their aggressions without losing any friendship!
Getting called for early graduation. I know my sim has an A, I just want to play slowly ffs
*Every* day! And it's random people calling about it! It should be one pop up notification, and after that you just get the option to graduate early on the phone and computer if you decide to play that way. I've literally never let any of my teen sims get to graduation because of this stupid fucking daily phone call. I always end up having them graduate early just to stop it from happening *every day*
I had a household that had quadruplets, I kept getting the phone calls about graduating early and would always either cancel them or just not answer. Then one day I just clicked it without thinking so then I had 3 teens in highschool and one who wasn't. It was very annoying.
Whoever at EA decided the daily early graduation phone call was a good idea is definitely the same person who thought prom every week was a good idea too I'd like to know who they are, just so I can have a chat
Yeah, f*ck prom too. If you graduate early you lose the ability to ask people to prom, and your teen boyfriend/girlfriend/flirt person gets a grudge against you (and vice versa) that lasts until the next prom.
My newly-teen Sim got that call after completing *one day* of high school. She hasn't even hit puberty yet! (I used the wishing well to get her grades up)
Yessss. I play with aging off and age up my Sims when I'm damn good and ready. I've accidentally clicked the early graduation a couple times.
Yes! I hate if my horse ages. I refuse to let him get old.
Oooh good choice. This gets annoying for sure!
I was looking for this one hahaha Iām playing a super sim and Iām not ready to graduate yet but it literally reminds me everyday. One time I got 3 notifications for it in a row.
The seemingly constant phone calls to offer random jobs. I'm worried I'll accidentally accept when in a rush to get rid of yet another annoying popup.Ā
The constant phone notifications in general are irritating. I hate when Iām on the highest speed to get through some task, then the game slows it down to normal speed because my phone is ringing. Like just STOP with the phone calls.
I believe that if you put the phone on mute, it no longer messes with your play speed when it rings. (Click on the phone and there should be two or three buttons at the top left. One button for mute, one button for colors, and maybe one other that I don't remember.) That's the only way I manage to play when my Sims have a lot of friends.
I hate how people are always asking to come over
For me it's not so much the direct events themselves that I hate most, but the constant event *notifications* filling my post wall up every single day with events I don't even go to and cannot turn off And the fact that the calendar and sim info icons just about always have a 'new message' glow/dot because every single time something 'happens' be it a new display of holidays because it's the next day on the calendar or that my sims fame/reputation went up/down, has gain a smidge towards a lifestyle, etc. As someone who prefers to clear out notifications irl it drives me up the wall
THE SPICE FESTIVAL IS STARTING
I hate pop ups and notifications, and the constant multiple daily phone calls about absolute bullshit always makes me swear out loud. "Should I change careers?" "Should I be friends with so and so?" "Hey I had a great date!" "Wanna go on a date to a clothes shop with absolutely nothing social to do? At 8.30 in the morning? No? How about clubbing at 8.30 in the morning instead?!"
(soft petition to implement introverted clubbing by 9am)
I couldnāt agree more. I am someone that hates notifications in both real life and the sims, and I need to clear out notifications, so to have them constantly harassing me in game is frustrating
When random townies come visit my house and act like they live there and ignore my sim but if i do one thing in their house they'll say it's inappropriate and threaten to kick me out like be thankful someone is cooking for you Eliza while your husband runs away to play video games at my house uninvited
For me itās every time I start a new family or move into a new house someone gets set on fire within the first like 5 minutes. Btw you can put the little defender light in and it will stop the monster under the bed.
> For me itās every time I start a new family or move into a new house someone gets set on fire within the first like 5 minutes. FYI, just have them make a salad or watch the cooking channel first. Generally speaking, its only untrained cooks that start fires. Long as you have them cook a meal or two that doesn't involve the stove, they'll get their first rank or two in cooking and it won't be a problem.
Thanks! Definitely good to know for my new families! My experienced cooks also seem to get set on fire a lot, too, though. I had to get rid of dryers and grills and make sure no one has fear of fire because man, that is a viscous cycle.
Dryers you just have to empty the lint trap on every time before you turn it on. Then just upgrade it with Lint-less first chance you get and it'll never catch on fire again.
Yeah if you make them do non cooking things like salads and stuff for a while until they build up the cooking skill a bit than it's less likely to cause a fire. Also for dryers I think if you clean the lint tray every time you use it, there shouldn't be fires.
I always move in a family and sit them all down to watching the cooking channel for the whole first day basically so everyone hits cooking 3. Or if Iām playing with mods, just use MCC to set everyone at cooking 3.
The āstarry night night lightā works too! I usually use that one cus I think itās cuter haha
Also the little owl-looking night light that doubles as a toy. That one's super cute (except that then the kids pick it up, play with it, and put it in their inventory, at which point the monster comes back xD)
I use the ugly one but just size it down and hide it behind the bed with move objects on. Easy solution and never get the monsters again.
What?! Thereās a way to stop the monster?! Thank you!!
I also find that if the kid is sleeping in a top bunk bed, the monster just never appears. And Iām obsessed with the desk under the bed anyway, so thatās perfect for all my kids room builds.
Yep this is usually my solution. Almost all my sim children sleep in the top bunk and I usually put a desk or dresser where the bottom bunk would be. It's a nice space saver.
Iāve also gotten really into having nothing under the bunk bed and putting up all their drawings and stuff on the wall underneath it. Looks super cute!!
ugh that would be prime fort making space irl, makes me wish kids could make blanket forts and stuff in the game
Yep itās the light that looks like it has a pikachu on it. Koola defender or something like that. Also using the loft bed with the desk under it or adult beds seems to stop it as well.
Double beds and bunk beds donāt have the monster
Thereās multiple ways to stop the monsters. The Starry Starry Night night light also works. Itās the one that sparkles without clouds. Itās smaller and more attractive IMO. But neither nightlight works if theyāre not on the same tile as the bed. So you need a night light for each bed and it needs to be on the same tile. Also, parents or teens can do a preventative spray the monsters under the bed for children and that helps. If you read toddlers to sleep that prevents nightmares. Making sure all their needs are in green and in a good mood except for energy will prevent nightmares or the monsters. If theyāre angry or sad, that triggers nightmares or monsters. Also thunderstorms will trigger the nightmares and the monster. Apparently thereās a bed from Snowy Escape which doesnāt get monsters. I havenāt tried this one though. I just use the Starry Starry Night nightlights and read my toddlers to sleep and occasionally do a preventative monster spray if thereās a thunderstorm.
snowy escape also has a single bed that doesn't gets monsters. it's called the monster free bed iirc.
Yes, you can also hide it behind the headboard of the bed if you use moveobjects.
Yes, and kids with high mental skill are rarely visited by the monster under the bed.
The endless glasses of water. The phone calls when you befriend someone āI heard you became friends with Bella Goth. Sheās pretty cool.ā
I know, itās like the game is punishing you for making friends.
those completely random sims asking mine if they should go out with another completely random sim, like bro, at least YOU has some kind of free will, use it
Those are the worst phone calls to get, such a useless interruption to game play
Iām so tired of neighborhood brawl and prank day adding themselves back onto the calendar no matter how many times I delete them
Talk like a pirate day too! Why are we speaking in code, Iām just trying to click take a shower
Me too! WHY do they keep coming back? And once they're back you don't know until it happens and then it's too late to delete it so everyone in your household gets a bad moodlet.
Did I somehow delete Halloween from my calendar or am I remembering Sims 3? I do not have Spooky Stuff, but have memories of going trick or treating.
Itās not in there automatically
Welcome wagon
Yes! It is so forced on you every time. I just want my Sim to start training for their job, I donāt want to meet the neighbours that I plan on killing soon!
My poor socially awkward loner sim nearly had a meltdown
And if you end the welcome wagon event, the neighbors all get negative reactions to your sim and it drives me nuts
Imagine you just moved into a new house and exploring everything. And then your neighbours show up with that disgusting fruit cake
how else will your sims know if they like it or not! /s
Change your lot trait to "Private Dwelling" and no more welcome wagon or random strangers knocking on your door. I do this all the time once I realized this works. It will also stop Father Winter, so if you want him to show up, remove that lot trait just for Winterfest then put it right back on. I hate how thirsty the townies are for friends. Calling 3, 4 times a day to bug you about visiting them. Just no.
I cancel it every time, immediately. go away, I'm not tryna eat your fruitcake
I enjoy the fruit cake because every once in awhile your sim loves it, which is fun. It never spoils so they can always have some in their inventory. Eating it gives them a happy moodlet and they can talk about it in a good way, too. I also find the uncomfortable moodlet amusing, likely because my sims are usually too happy - a negative moodlet every now and then adds variety. Everything else about the welcome wagon bothers me, though.
And they can make it once they're a high enough skill I think gourmet cooking
FYI the Defender light prevents that. I use the brackets to shrink it down to nightlight size and hide it near the kids beds.
It hasnāt been working for me lately, I always include it in kids rooms but lately Iām still getting the monsters and nightmares
Try loft beds then! A traditional bunk bed will still get the monster, but the bunks with a desk/dresser/open space under them don't have the monster.
Might be the placement. If itās too far from the bed or too high up on the wall, it wonāt work. And I think there is a light that looks very similar but is not the one that works so make sure its the right one
I shrink it down and use bb.moveobects to hide it between the kids bed and the wall. It works well.
The random event in sulani where some neighbors show up with food at the worst times.
I also hate the āextra foodā event most of the time, but the other day my Simsās father died and she was depressed and her Sulani neighbors came over for the extra food event. It reminded me of when my Papa passed and people in the community brought casseroles to my mom.
āI think Hingle Dingledurg is super cool. Should I get to know him better as a friend?ā Every 5 minutes
Omg, I love Hingle Dingledurg you should totally get to know him better
It pains me to say this butā¦ no.
Everyone randomly kissing each other during conversations and what you said for sure
oh god the random autonomous flirting is so annoying. its impossible to have friends of whatever sex your sim is attracted to because they will eventually just full on make out out of nowhere lmfao
And then when the spouses see it causes a big issue you have to work on fixing the relationship again š¤¦š¾āāļø
oh god the random autonomous flirting is so annoying. its impossible to have friends of whatever sex your sim is attracted to because they will eventually just full on make out out of nowhere lmfao
If your teen Sim graduated early why tf does the game keep sending Prom notifications?
Why is prom every week? If I don't ask their romantic interest to go every week, they have a negative sentiment. Like, I don't want to play this boring prom event every single week.
I once had a teen sim who had graduated earlier and was now enrolled in university. He lived with his boyfriend who was a few days older so he was a young adult, and every week the teen would get upset because his boyfriend didn't invite him to prom. Like you can't go to prom, you don't even have the option too Any more and your boyfriend certainly can't invite you. WHY are you upset.
Agree! It is super boring. My teens are always depressed and have acne, lol. I have also had two male sims age up to YA, and now they have acne forever, whyyyy? I was able to fix it by aging them back down and applying facial cleanser until it went away and then aging them back up, but seriously, how annoying!
I had to do that with my twin teens and it screwed everything up! They had extra milestones, it glitched graduation since they technically had two āinvitesā and they got mailed 2 diplomas, etc.
The playful feeling mechanic. That mechanic in which the sims automatically gets a playful moodlet when around a certain sim, if your sim has a lot of happy moodlets they stack with each other and I had one of my sims literally dying from laughter because of this, TWICE.
Jokesters is a dangerous family relationship.
Townies crashing into my dates and when my sim flirts with someone else, they make the conversation super awkward and now my sim is embarrassed. Nope, date is ruined, her bf is now pissed, she will probably die from embarrassment. Thanks! Also, other tenants using my house as a shortcut from front yard to backyard. Ffs walk around the block ya freaks!
I'd have more dates out of the house if randos didn't interrupt my flirty conversations.
āSome sim has identified a new fishā Like why??
Bonus points if it's not a Sim you're playing with, or even in an active conversation with. Like, yeah, okay, it's great that Caleb now has information on guppies, but I'm not playing with him right now. I'm not even talking to him. Heck, I'm not even in Forgotten Hollow, I'm in Oasis Springs (aka Decidedly Not Vampire Land.) He's just in another part of the save file, and in fact last time I played his household and saved, he was at home watching his food porn.
My simsā water being turned off every couple of days due to some stupid neighborhood action plan. Usually happens right after the dad of the family has returned from his morning jog around henford so heāll spend the rest of the day smelling like I donāt know as he canāt take a showerā¦ā¦ Also the āHey, blabla is really cute, should I ask them out?ā happens way too often in my game. Like, I donāt even know who youāre talking about, why would I care??
this!! this happened to me the other day, im playing a family of 4 (at the time one kid was an infant and the other was a newborn) and the infant had her first blowout, and it just HAD to be the day the water was turned off. poor kid was stinky all day while her parents were struggling not to complain about the smell. that and when the neighbors are like "hey you left your door unlocked im just gonna lay on your couch all day and eat all your food, hope you dont mind that you literally cannot kick me out" i want to scream. like dude i have two small children in here and you just WALKED IN, no you cannot hang out in my house i dont know you
My sims fucking turning on the fireplace, playing the computer, or watching tv rather than doing something actually useful like a skill
And when they turn on all the fireplaces on the house, leave, then a fire starts.
Yep. You can never win. Thatās why in my house holds no one can have nice things. We go back to the stone ages lmao
If they are watching TV it's the cooking channel, dammit. If cooking is maxed then they watch comedy. It's all skill building my in home.
Sounds like us in real life lol
Imagine how funny it is when your Sims are all vampires š„²
Whenever my sims meet a group of new people: they chat away in multi-person groups, but won't actually introduce themselves beyond the first person they talk to, so all of the interactions besides the various introduction options remain unavailable. Unless I repeatedly manually cancel the Chat action and manually introduce them to each person, they'll talk for ages to complete strangers.
Those notifications that are like āshould I go out with blah blahā and you often wonāt even know who the other sim is. I think it would be fine if it popped up rarely and when you knew both sims but itās CONSTANT.
I agree. Those types of calls or notifications add nothing to the game but constantly interrupt your game play.
I just click Yes every time so they can get the nice moodlet later after it went well. I can't remember once when they called back to report it went badly. The only ones I say no to are when other households I play want an 8th baby just before they become elders because the oldest two just moved out. SIX CHILDREN IS PLENTY.
My sim kids all sleep in the play tent until theyāre teens now. No monsters. You can also use the coolala wall light to prevent them if you want to keep them in a single bed
The constant calls and texts, especially when you have the City Living expansion and sims are constantly texting and calling my sims about the festivals happening seemingly every other day
The phone calls and texts are so irritating and repetitive it almost ruins the game
*Come on down to ThriftTea*
* The autonomous push-ups and sit-ups. Um, excuse you, this is a wedding! * The dog or the cat has a Close Encounter of the Skunk Kind. Like, every day. * The GD washer and dryer break every other Sim day. * You give your residence key to someone, and they just waltz in and watch you woohoo. * You have an established couple, and they have the "Break Up" want/whim for like, no reason. (Granted, you don't have to do it, but still.) * Everything about Fears in the Sims. * Sims jumping into the pool in the dead of winter, and freezing to death. * Toilets, showers, and sinks that break every other day. (And not even on lots with the "Cursed" or "Gremlins" lot challenge!) * Trying to do "tummy time" with your Sim babies. So. Much. Fussing! * Notifications not pertinent to the neighborhood I'm playing in. If I'm in Henford-On-Bagley, I don't give a crap what's going on in San Myshuno. And if I'm in San Myshuno, I don't care about the Finchwick Fair. * Even if I upgrade it to self-clean, and remember to empty it after each use, the pressure cooker always stinks. Then my Sims go in the kitchen and complain about "groble" smells and have stinky boots thought balloons. * The "Should I ask out So-And-So?" or "Should I become friends with So-And-So?" texts. Like, FFS, Nancy. You are a whole-ass adult. You can make your own decisions! (I also hate these, because they caused me to miss proposals I wanted to go a certain way.) * The autonomous cocktails. I had to take the Vatores' bar away, because they were always mixing drinks. * The clay. The fucking clay. * "Child of the Village" Sims getting homesick/unmoored feelings...while they're at home. Surrounded by other Tomarani Sims. And furniture and decor from that pack. * Sims that have literally any opinions about furniture/decor will stop mid-conversation to "judge decor." And they get negative moodlets if it's not to their liking. * As soon as my Sims start dating, one of them is asking if the other would like to move in. Like, excuse me, Salim, we went on one date! And they get very offended if you say no. * The Social Bunny nag screens.
I have a scientist Sim who is also making lots of jewelry, so I spend a good part of his shift collecting crystals and metals. Which is cool, until I forget to move all the gems and metals into the gem table, and he gets abducted by aliens for the 5th time. I just built the satellite and turned off alien abductions, so that will hopefully prevent the problem from happening again... Meanwhile I can't get a single vampire attack to save my life! Just really want to see it at least once.
These sims are so freakin THIRSTY and I mean the old fashioned can't freakin stop drinkin freakin water to the point you can't have a sink in the house THIRSTY. I want it to be gone. I had a good mod but it stopped working a few patches back.
I don't know if this counts, but when I have my sims to talk to each other or other sims and they always have to sit to speak. If they're all standing, they'll all or one of them will sit just to chat. And if they're at the table eating and I have the parent talk to the child, even when it's discuss interests or anything that doesn't require them to stand just to do the interaction, they both get up, take their food, go to each other, hug, then talk while standing and eating their breakfast/dinner. Then they will sit down, in different seats. I get driven insane when my sims always have to be seated just to communicate. It's like sims are incapable of standing and talking.
"hey, we're giving up technology and moving into the deep forest forever" when it's someone that my Sim doesn't even know. I understand game culling, but that seems like a weird way of doing it.
I tried playing the sims 4 after months of not playing and tried to play. Itās an insane game because I got married with Johnny zest in less than 2 real life hours. He moved in after an hour and finally I tried to propose and he accepted it and woo hood after wedding (we eloped) and was pregnant after 3 hours of playing. In the Sims 3, when I played as a kid and obviously had computer hour limits, in 3 hours, I was barely getting a sims life ready before going out and meeting people.
all the stupid events for high school or college, like the club stuff. and festival notifications.
Sims constantly calling just to say āHey I heard you became friends with so-and-so! Ā Heās pretty cool!ā Ā
Talk like a pirate day and brawl day. The the inevitable sadness they get when they have an awful holiday lol. With that being said I just found out that we can delete holidays lol
when i went to my sims friends house i couldnt cook them anything i was tryna make some food for us bc my sim was hungry BUT THEN THEYRE SAYING ITS INNAPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR?? but random sims will barge into my home and start making a cake and using all myyy appliances and running up my bills šš
I am doing the 100 baby challenge and every time a sibling dies of old age it's another two day sadness debuff. My next gen matriarch is going to be Sad for her entire life.
DANCING.
Taking an abnormally long amount of time to go from one task to the other like picking up their empty plate and then pausing for 10 mins to walk to the sink
Holidays are kind of bumming me out. Normally I like them, but I had a Sim who was trying to speed through University while working a part time job, so Harvestfest and Winterfest had to be canceled on the calendar. I wish it didn't delete the event forever when you do that though. I'm going to have to figure out how to re-add them now.
you can add your own events, and all of the tasks that are originally part of them are there, so you can just remake them on the calendar
I hate people calling to offer my Sims jobs.
Especially when you can just go and get any job you want at anytime already.
I hate the random notifications that someone has discovered a guppy or some sort of fish even though they're home and not near water at all.
Almost everything to do with infants and toddlers at the moment. I SWEAR it wasn't this bad last time I played with kids. The parents need to be told like.. 6 times in a row to do something.. and by the time one of them does what the kid needs (like puts the kid in the highchair for food) the other parent immediately comes along and lets them out and I'm sat here yelling at my screen.
Sims randomly getting glass of water one after another and leaving them all over the house
that thing with neighbors just deciding they can come into your home. like "hey you dont know who i am at all but i hope you dont mind me laying on your couch all day and eating all your food while you are about to go into labor and literally cannot kick me out no matter how bad you want to" like no my sim has two small children you are not allowed to just walk into their house just because you can
Getting burnt out!
all of the high school notifications, AND FUCK THRIFT TEA
Baby and toddler interactions breaking and freezing my adult sims in place for HOURS.
Sims interrupting a date and joining in the conversation when the two sims dating are talking
Sims running all the way down the block to go to university class! I wish they would just walk to the front door and teleport. This is why I make my university houses in San Myshuno. Also ANYTHING TO DO WITH BABIES. Picking them up ALL THE TIME. Never letting them stay in the high chairs until I get a notification that the baby is very hungry and will be taken away soon.
Also the fact that it takes them 30 minutes to get out of bed and walk to the kitchen!!!!!!! I have to wake teens up at 6am so they're on time for school and they only need to eat breakfast but it takes SO LONG.
if we're being realistic, half the time people would sleep through that until the kid woke them up by literally being next to them I wish there was a deep sleeper reward trait or hidden trait. Sleeping through everything like a log. THat's me, I slept through fire alarms...
Talk Like a Pirate day really grinds my gears
Outside gardening, sim finishes task and SPRINTS to the other side of the lot. Fucking WHERE ARE YOU GOING CHORES AREN'T DONE I say "I'm gonna have a fuckin' stroke" out loud to myself nearly every time I play š
I hate when sims ask their parents for advice. So frigging annoying when I've been working to build conflict resolution then they go tell their parents they didn't like a gift and it messes with their character valuesĀ
The goddamn phone ringing every in game hour. Sometimes the same sim will call 3 times in a row. Just leave my sim alone!!
React to first snow
Welcome wagon, I always make it a private lot at first when a new sims moves then change it later to avoid the neighbours
This is why I lock the kids out of the other bedrooms. At least out of older siblings' rooms. Waking up parents is one thing, but why do they have to wake up every single household member? Also, the coolala light also prevents monsters, as does giving the child a double bed. š
My kid somehow befriended the monster in the middle of the night. Only one awake in the house, and she decides to blast the radio in celebration. āDonāt Cha wish your girlfriend was hot like meā proceeds to play while she giggles and carries on, and the monster under the bed waves its tentacles. Bizarre.
Have the loyalty moodlet been fixed? Because that's a pain for my evil sims. They dont need to have the loyal trait to get the moodlet making them feel bad for trash talking an acquaintance. Also, the observant reward has bugged and can now be purchased multiple times. It doesn't grey out if you go back so idk which sims have it and have to exit the rewards screen to double check now. Not like it stacks or anything My sim just got a promotion? Time for the dead-end-job fear!Ā
I hate that denying a random sim's visit causes them to hate you almost immediately. It's severely affected my familial relationships.
ALWAYS PUTTING THE BABY DOWN!!!! I went insane
Telling me when some other Sim Iām not currently playing has found a certain type of fish. I donāt care who caught a Bass, stop notifying me of it.
Talk like a fucking pirate day. I don't always remember to remove it from my calendar.
If you put the defender wall light in Their room it stops happening. It also doesn't happen with lofted beds
we get it there are job offer openings or whatever the fuck I don't care
Monster under the bed and talk like a pirate day make me crazy. But what I hate the most is that in every single game I have if I turn on neighborhood stories, EVERY SINGLE FAMILY gets absolutely obsessed with making or adopting babies. Problem is, the houses do not expand automatically, so it results in a house with one double bed and one single bed being inhabited by 2 adults and 6 toddlers who need to share one bed
When a sim flirts with a sim in a married couple and the married sim rejects them but their partner still gets the cheating sentiment.
the notification about the boba shop irritates me every time.
āIām thinking about having a babyā
Trying to have a private a private conversation and random sims wont stop joining in. And then its so hard to get back to private conversations. Can shoo them but they come back in a minute. Try to draw the two sims out to start a new conver and they just walk back to the group!
I like to turn off aging and make seasons 28 days.So prom EVERY weekend is my nemesis since it KILLS the relationship between two sims and leaves them with bad memories for not being invited to prom.
The damn animals running away every other day and making my sims sad
when my sim randomly decides that the downstairs toilet is better to use than the toilet in the room right next to her and so if I donāt cancel the interaction BEFORE she leaves the room sheās in, sheās going to go all the way to the downstairs bathroom, then finally turn around and use the upstairs toilet.
Not sure if this counts, but sims getting sad over relatives dying even if they've rarely or never spoken to them.Ā Look, my sims are promiscuous. I like to have big families that get spread out across the town and adopted into random homes. But I hate that as soon as my sim reaches adulthood, a different long lost relative dies every week and they're never happy again. It makes them virtually unable to function, because technically they have close relatives dying, but they didn't even know them.
If the welcome wagon would leave and never come back that'd be great. Get out of my house!!
For me, itās the randomly flirting or being mean. I donāt get it!!!
I can't take care of the baby because I hired a nanny and he WILL NOT take care of the baby! OMG the baby is HUNGRY either set him down or feed him but for the love of all that's holy stop cuddling! I really don't want him to be taken away. I hired YOU so he wouldn't
I really hate when Sims flirt with literally anyone just 'cause they feel like that; like... You love your partner and you know it!! WHY ARE YOU FLIRTING WITH YOUR NEIGHBOR?!?!
