The moment you realize there's no such thing as a smarter sim...

«13
1) It's 8pm and the whole family's around the dinner table. The bathrooms are empty and there's a serving plate of dinner. You're starving and you have to pee. So you go to bed...in your son's room.

2) You're cozied up to the sim who would make the perfect mother for your little objects. You garden, she cooks. Your other traits are a great match too. There's a rose bush wafting out flirty vibes and you're in need of some social. So you go outside to talk to the apple tree.

3) You're due at work in an hour and you have to pee, you're giving off green fumes and your hunger bar is in the red. So you decide to play a game on the computer.

    I'm not sure how someone could have played The Sims 3 and not remember how bad they were about going to the computer and playing games every chance they got. Those things were loud.

    My wife made me get rid of the computers because my playing was driving her insane.

    I noticed that my sims sometimes ....... "forget" which bed they belong to and will go sleep in random beds.

    My sim went to the bathroom on The second floor to wash The dishes instead of using The sink in The kitchen...

    For real? I thought everyone held their pee when fighting a boss in a video game. Hehe
    Hi. I'm Danger. I like spaceships, Pringles, and cats. I dislike fruits and vegetables, sunlight, and the motion picture Titanic. I do not own a sword, nor do I know how to draw unicorns. As you can see, I don't have much to offer the world.

    This happens to my sims all the time... :(
    I once started a Sims blog called My Sims Pieces (snapshots and stories from the lives of my Sims) and maybe I'll get back to it one day...

    'Sims' and 'smart' don't belong in the same sentence. They are an oxymoron!

    And, yes, when I am in the middle of an intense battle in a game, I will almost pee myself before I will pause the game to use the bathroom! :p

    Or worse, the garden sprinklers... I practically had to fight my sims to keep them away from those da­mn things.

    It didn't even matter what type of sim it was, so even Simbots would play with the sprinklers as well.

    In the sims 2 there was always a race to use the computer.

    It depends on their traits I guess. Mine constantly grab their guitar when I leave them alone.
    (and I love the guitars in S3)

    1. This is a weird bug it seems. I have had NO problem with Sims learning which bed (and side of bed, unlike Sims 3) that is theirs. I click on it ONCE, and they learn-

    2. So you have a problem with autonomous decisions? The Sim you control might not actually love the Sim YOU want that Sim to love. You might have to force it at the beginning. Why is this bad?

    3. Sims prioritizes needs. Nothing new there.

    No, some of the TS2 Sims are that dumb. I always thought there were really dumb Sims in that game and then there were really smart ones because some didn't do what they should do that was urgent and would play a game even though their fun meter was completely full. I zapped them a lot. >:) Then others would eat or get some espresso, killing two or three birds with one stone then take a shower and then eat. See, they were smart enough to get their energy up first so they could eat, coffee filled hunger and fun so, three for one. But some of them were just plain stupid. I agree OP, doesn't sound like they are any smarter than the TS1 Sim who would just stand and scream.

    LOL what I remember about Sims 3 was the constant stuffing themselves with food from the fryer and ice cream maker which eclipsed every other need until I had to remove them from my game :D

    Sims are super predictable. They will always go for the activity with the highest fun level. (aside from the bar, the bar is like the sprinkler in TS3) They will always eat the highest quality food available. (unless you have flirty cookies on tap, they are another kind of sprinkler) They will always sleep in the highest quality bed available.
