I just played the game on console for the first time in a while and noticed an option in settings that basically disabled the sparkles and question marks that appear above a sim’s head when they do something relevant to a lot trait.
I looked for this same option on PC in settings and it’s not there! I have to download a mod to disable them.
Why is this only available to disable from console and not also on PC?

You've never noticed the sparkles? Set the lot trait to I think "Homey" and have your sim start cooking. You should immediately see the sparkles when they are cooking. Homey might not be the right one but it's the one where household skills such as cooking are more easily earned.
Nope, can't remember seeing that. And I like using the lot traits that boost skills. I'll give it a try next time I get to play. Only thing I can think of is that I play on a mid range pc so visuals are set to medium. Maybe they are only visible with graphics turned to max? Or maybe it is a mccc setting I am not aware of.
But those sparkles do sound annoying.
I agree wish we had that
I'm on Xbox so yeah, I get them when I set those traits. They never really bothered me though since I'm usually scrolling through all of my sims and never focused on one long enough to be annoyed.
Yeah for story purposes, I can see it getting really annoying. I personally didn't know it could be turned off on console. But I don't publish my stories very often. I did assume though that it would be turned off with the headline effect cheat but I guess not.
