Water Balloon/Mud/Snow fights are sooooo underwhelming and disappointing!

These should be so fun to watch but it's just bizarre how the sims act when engaged in one of these activities! They just throw one and it literally seems to take 15 minutes for the next sim to throw another! They mainly just stand and take turns laughing instead just throwing the plum things! It should be rapid-fire motion of throwing at each other. The "fights" are the biggest disappointment to me so far and need to be improved.

I had a mud puddle right next to my front steps and Sims were constantly running up and down the stairs acting like they’re throwing them. It took forever and I just had to cancel it out for my own sanity.

Yes one of the game changers mentioned this in his video I think it was James aka Sim Supply. I just wonder if they could tune that in an update.

I’m confident they’ll patch that pretty soon. I would have thought it’d be dealt with before release though. How annoying

I thought it was just me, they need to make note of this. @SimGuruNick

Ya they are a bit underwhelming, hopefully something that can be tweaked.

I noticed how bugged it looked in James' video too. If I remember correctly, they weren't even facing each other... They were both facing forward and I thought it seemed so strange. Hopefully they fix it and soon.

I hope they fix this... It's a small detail but it makes me wanna punch my screen xD

So it isn’t just me!

Reminded me of how awkward bowling was at first.

I have this too.. very annoying. They don't even look at eachother....
Also the mud puddles/puddles aren't working properly.. Sims won't even play in it.

I haven't tried it yet but everything my sims do take 15 years so this doesn't surprise me. And the animation just isn't what it use to be.

This!! I thought it was a glitch, but the snowball fights suck! I expected running around, dodging, hiding behind objects..they literally stand there like their playing catch with 10mins going by before they throw another one. Like c'mon are you serious..

I'm honestly not so sure if this will be fixed. From what I read here it sounds completely typical for TS4 - Sims not facing each other when they're supposed to interact with each other, Sims playing musical chairs or just aimlessly walking in circles until they find a spot from where they'll start talking and then just moving aimlessly around again, incredibly long pauses between interactions (best example - eating) where they just stare at nothing.
I only saw some videos about the snowball fights. It looks lame and annoying, but at the same time the problem is the same we have with other interactions since the beginning of TS4
