    Why is she laughing at him????

    in The Sims 3 General Discussion
    Ethan Davis met Kirstin McCray when they were in elementary school. They started dating in high school. They are both adults now, and having dated a sufficient amount of time, have fallen in love, and were married just this afternoon.

    Should be smooth sailing, yes?

    No. I have free will set to "Low", no matter what task I set her to do, as soon as she is done, she runs in the living room to point and laugh at Ethan. WHY?

    All he is doing is reading a book on gardening. The thought bubble above her head shows Ethan's pic. This laughing is getting on my nerves. They haven't even been married 24 hrs, have never woohooed, and at the rate she is going... they won't. I'm about to send her packing.

    Any ideas as to what she finds so amusing?

    Her traits:

    Can't Stand Art
    Frugal
    Party Animal
    Natural Cook
    Friendly

    His traits:

    Handy
    Brave
    Genius
    Easily Impressed
    Computer Whiz

    She is seriously getting on my nerves... Any ideas?

    Btw, she will continue to point at him and laugh for as long as I let her. It doesn't stop.

      This has happened to a few people, including myself. On my legacy (the only one I've ever played, btw), my founder has been laughed at by EVERYONE, including his wife (both before and after their marriage). And he'll just be doing something like painting or reading, or even just sleeping!

      I have no idea what the deal is, but it is really quite annoying.

      I had a sim who would point and laugh at pretty much everyone including her young son. I'm guessing it's because she had the inappropriate trait.

      Just taking the pics watching her was driving me nuts. I didn't raise this guy from scratch just for her to laugh at him nonstop! What kind of wife does that???

      What are the levels of their motives? She laughs at him all the the time, so are their motives always high, low, neutral, etc?

      Here are a couple pictures of my founder being laughed at. The weirdest part is that two of the people that laughed at him (one of the maids and his soon-to-be wife) spent the night and REFUSED to sleep, choosing instead to stay up all night and laugh at him. And neither one had insomnia!


      Maids:

      In the one above, the girl had just spent the night and stayed up the entire time laughing at him. She woke herself up several times before passing out, like in this pic:


      crazymaid3.jpg


      And then continued laughing!

      The paperboy:

      And then one night his then-fiancee (now his wife) stayed up all night laughing at him:

      It's crazy! I wish I knew what the deal is.

      Well, my Sims often laugh at those wearing inappropriate clothing. Two of your pictures shoe that he was wearing sleepwear outside. As for the others, I have no clue. Sometimes, despite having changed, the Sims will continue to laugh for a while.

      Have any of the Sims been recently embarrassed or gotten the "Sim Thinks Sim 2 is Being Awkward" statement during social interaction?

      I have no idea what her problem was. Both of their moods were really high. They'd just gotten married. Was early evening, still well rested, bout to eat dinner, but not starving.

      I gave her a few more minutes, she continued, I couldn't stand it anymore. He insulted her dancing, she mocked his cleverness, and that was the end, he broke up with her and kicked her out.

      Has to be some sort of record, married and divorced in under 12 hours. What I can't understand, is he'd known her since childhood. Spent lots of time with her. She'd never laughed at him before.

      It gets worse. To try and mend his broken heart, he went looking for love at the park the next afternoon. While he was flirting with a pretty girl, some old bat is standing off to the side laughing at him. I guess he was simply destined to be the butt of peoples jokes. But he shouldn't have to take it in his own home.

      By the by, the new love interest is looking receptive... Perhaps he'll do better the next time around.

      Goodnight y'all.

      Not mine. Both were happy. He was minding his own business, brushing up on his gardening, and she just kept laughing at him.

      Ah, so the wedding night didn't go too well and she told the old bat about it the next day?

      I know sometimes my sims don't have the presence of mind to get dressed when I send them into the front yard to do gardening or get the mail. The paperboy or papergirl always laughs at them when they see them there standing in their underwear!

      Sims do have a tendency to laugh at people dressed inapropriately; I know this because several of my sims are insane and they almost never dress correctly for the ocassion (some will even swim in their formal clothes lol...). I mean wouldn't you laugh at that?

      As for your case, no idea.

      P.S. One of the pics on the first page, the guy painting is there without his shirt; is that his sleepwear? If so, it makes sense that he's being laughed at; sims usually laugh at people who are wearing their sleepwear outside. (I suppose it could be athletic wear, and if that's the case no idea why he's being laughed at.)

      Haha, that's hilarious. The only time my sims laugh at others is when there is a need to.

      I would guess that MysteryinRiwerview has right. But I also think it can depend on that the laughing person has a trait that goes against the being-laught-at-person.

      I've had a somewhat similar problem.

      Okay so my sim has a boyfriend with a little boy who was sleeping over, so I bought him a crib and yeah yeah you get the picture. Every time I gave my sim the command to go to bed, instead she would take the toddler out of the crib and set him outside and return to bed...

      Odd. Guess she doesn't like babies. :lol:

      I suspect this is somewhat aggravating to you and it's definitely a mystery, but I think it's hilarious! :lol: I hope my Sims do something that quirky! It's the little things like this written in that are so bizarre they almost seem like bugs that keep the game interesting for me and make my Sims feel more like real people with inside jokes of their own that I'm not immediately privy to.
