Stove burner conversations «12...Next Go

BUTTONSGINGER

If there are two sims sitting or even standing near the kitchen table and a third sim joins the conversation, the third sim will face the stove and the burner turns on while the conversation continues. This has happened several times, with several sims.

Anybody else notice this?

I searched here and Crintict's blog but didn't see anything like it posted. It doesn't seem to bother anything really, it's just odd.

That didn't occurred in my game (yet), but it's funny!
BTW, your kitchen is a beauty

Weirder stories?

Does that sim have the insane trait, perhaps?

I've never seen that happen, looks hilarious though.

Mine did that last night. I wondered why it went on and off. Now that I think about it, they weren't cooking, but every time the hubby turned toward the stove it went back on. LOL

yes! This happens to me, too. It's on the old fashioned stove. It seems to happen when someone either moves past or stands near the left burner.

Yes, that particular sim does have the insane trait but others, without the insane trait, do the same thing. It does remind me of the Sims 3 when the insane sims use to check the stove Just now another sim was eating and joined the conversation going on at the table, he turned towards the burner and it looked like he was warming his food

My Sim sometimes will make dinner or clean a counter, and if her next action is to weed a plant she'll bend down and start weeding the counter. No insane trait in sight.
Weird stuff haha.

Ahhhhhhhh....maybe it's time for me to change the stove then, I'll try that. Thanks!

Mine does that too sometimes and it stays lit for a while. It's odd.

Well, at least I am not alone! It is the old fashion stove or another type?

I don't know if it's the stove. I've only played the one family for awhile now. I haven't switched it out because it's been upgraded a lot and is actually better than anything else my sims can afford. Let us know! (It's actually on my list of things to mention on the SimGuru thread.)

Will do, I am in game right now and my Materialistic sim would just love a new item to oogle over. They have enough money to swing a new stove.

My sim did this and actually had weeds in her hand. lol I had to cancel the actions it was too weird.

BUTTONSGINGER

Okay, so I put a new stove in and played for a few sim days and all seemed fine but then it started happening again. Looks like this stove has an electric burner, so no flames

Ah, I've recently had this happen as well. And with that same stove.

shellbeme

It has happened to me on different stoves. I thought the Sim was checking to see if the burner was on, kind of like the neurotic Sims used to do.

moongodess

Haven't seen this with the stove, but a child on the patio talking to her dad did the same thing with the grill

Interesting, I hadn't noticed before the last patch but that doesn't mean it wasn't happeing.

Same here ! My elders had a party and invited the whole family and the stove kept going on and off... Weird...

ManicRose

I've had this happen in a couple of different households.

jessathemessa

This just started happening to me last night. So weird.

songsmith2003

Ooooooooookay. I will keep it on my Things to Tell the SimsGuru on Their Thread List.
