    Sims are dumb.....

    in The Sims 4 General Discussion
    Okay, so I take my dog, Elvis and cat Misa to the vet, to get snipped. I sign Misa in first and wait.....and wait, and wait, and wait, looking back and forth between the game and Pretty Little Liars that's playing on my TV. I finally see that the vet is over there SNOOZING away on the couch, at the clinic while 3 Sims are waiting for her!

    I just got back into playing Sims recently and forgot how dumb they could be, especially the NPCs. I've missed it. XD

      For some reason, there was only one vet in my clinic. I don't know where the other one went. Probably went out into the blizzard, who knows. Sims aren't smart. XD

      They certainly aren't bright. I have a detective that as soon as he teleports to work, his first thought every time is to browse the internet. Not for work-related things either, just in general....

      LOL Yes they are and that's why they make me laugh so darn much!
      The Sims is NOT a game, it's a lifestyle choice.

      Agreed. TS4 sims the dubest yet, despite the EA claim of 'smarter sims'. TS2 ones are much better though they have their moments.

      No, but, sadly all too true of Humans, in general.

      Yeah, they sim to be more dumbed down than before. One of my other sims was starving and about to pee herself. But what does she do? Runs outside to make a snowangel. And she was on full autonomy so she was in full control of herself but choose to just not lol

      You'd think by the 3rd game they would have gotten smarter lol...They still like to walk around the house and enter the back door to get to a room instead of just going through the door that they are standing by inside the house.

      You'd think! Dumb sims are about as constant as llamas, at least in my experience. :D

      I have a couple of sims in my active household who really are impressively bright.

      I also have one in that same household who I told to get leftovers from the fridge and then go for a jog...so he jogged around the neighborhood while carrying a plate of bacon and eggs.

      @BitterBubbly Oh yes. I had one sim who always started her day by jogging with her coffee :)

      @mightysprite Haha! NICE! See, I'm actually impressed by that. I can't do ANYTHING until I've had ALL the coffee. :D

      I've made a huge lot with a lot of paths, stairs, and ladders, and my Sims just LOVE taking like, the longest possible route to get to like a bathroom or a bed; they love unnecessarily climbing ladders and stairs, sometimes they go through a different floor of my lot even though the bed is on the same floor as them.

      My young sim took Olive Tinker on a little puppy-love date to catch fish in Oasis Springs. The weather turned chilly on a winter's day, and my sim, at my direction, sensibly put on a winter coat and caught another fish.

      Olive, meanwhile, nearly froze to death before the game finally decided to instruct her to put the fishing rod down and make a run for the nearest building.

      It was somewhat disappointing to find the most endearing child NPC in the game to be just as irretrievably thick as every other NPC.

      She was probably running to someone to freak out on them. If she lives alone, that's weird.

      Are sims still washing dishes in the bathroom sink all the way upstairs rather than the kitchen sink? Or is that not a thing anymore , lol.

      Mine still do sometimes. Mostly if I forget a kitchen sink or they're too lazy to go to the kitchen.

      It's better than it used to be, but my sims do tend to choose the closest available sink if they, for example, hauled their plate of food from the kitchen to a seat somewhere and the bathroom is closer to their location than the kitchen was.

      What a shame.
      Kind of wondering (technical wise) what makes a sim place a certain sink that's farther away on a higher priority than one closer.

      I don't know, but I think it might be deliberate. I often have Sims standing next to the un-used kitchen sink, that will walk two floors away to wash up. Maybe its meant to be quirky. I just find it incredibly annoying, particularly in a large house!
