What odd habits do you have when playing? I don't mind playing slob sims but I still force them to wash their hands every single time they use the bathroom. I thought one of my non-slob sims left the bathroom without washing his hands (when in fact he was going downstairs to wash his hands in the kitchen because logic) and it gave me a literal panic attack, my chest got tight and I felt like I was going to scream (I contained myself, don't worry). I have absolutely no reason to care so much about what these virtual people do with themselves but yeah, cannot handle dirty handed sims. Like, at. ALL.

I know it's just a video game and no real rats/mice are being harmed, but... I just can't. Why can't the solution be to board up the hole with the rodents eventually chewing through it? Why a mouse trap?
I do play other ways (I swear) but it's like my fall back for cackles. Send help!
So glad I'm not alone! There are NO sinks in any of the houses I play. 23 saves with at 3-12 families each, that is a lot of houses. With no sinks. Washing hands is a waste of time (same as letting them brush their teeth), and it hardly does much for hygiene at all. I usually send them to the shower after toilet anyway. So its even more a waste of time. Sim days are short enough.

Once my sim had a baby that wouldn't stop crying even for a second no matter what I tried. It was well fed and clean and had a quiet room but probably glitched. I couldn't age it up as it was one of my 100 babies children. So I put the baby outside right down the back of the sims lot until it was time to age up (feeding it at regular intervals).
I felt very evil but the other sims in the house were able to sleep and function and I couldn't hear that awful crying. It seemed the only solution. It grew up to be the one child who just couldnt seem to get an A as a teen, 3 younger siblings aged up first.
No sinks at all? Now that’s dedication.
They should add toilet paper lol
> I cannot stand letting my sims make their own choices! They are all terrible decision makers. I constantly hit pause and line up a huge amount of tasks in the queue and shuffle through ALL of my sims and do the same. Then I press play and shuffle through the sims watching very closely. I freak out at the ones who disobey.
I do the exact same lol
It's especially annoying when they are hungry or have to use the toilet und then disobey me when I want to take care of them. It's their fault if they're unhappy then :/
Why a mouse trap, and no dog house?

I got so aggravated by his constant want for tap water that a some point I fenced him in and placed sinks all around the enclosure that he could see, but not reach. Boohoo.
Also drowned him a few times - happy with your friggin' water now, Caleb?? Hah, I'm getting tense now just thinking about the frustration he caused me.
I've also had my frustrations about Don Lothario. He was famished this one time and at the Sand Simoleon Beach in Sulani. The bonfire was lit and he kept abandoning his plate of food in order to do fire dance and hang out.
Something snapped. I caged him up there on the beach with the bonfire lit and food all around him. Until almost all of his needs were in the red. That quivering lip in adult Sims because mama didn't teach them the basics... *seethe*

My weird sims confessions have slightly improved lately until recently I was unable to play a Lot with ceiling lights on. At all. Now I will consent to using the littlest round disc light, made the smallest possible size with the size cheat thing [
Also, I used to never ever rotate my screen, i would always play from front house view like a dollhouse. Now, i occasionally give it a little turn. I feel very daring rofl.
I’m doing a 100 baby challenge with Vlad and uh... Instead of caring for the toddlers I lock them in his dungeon (which used to be the crypt) with a few popcorn machines and let them fend for themselves. They spend their toddlerhoods stuck in the following cycle:
Hunger enters dark red starvation zone - autonomously grabs a bowl of popcorn.
Eats a few bites of popcorn - hunger recedes to merely light red.
Energy dips into dark red - stops eating and passes out.
Energy enters light red - wakes up with hunger in dark red.
And so on...
I should feel bad, but for some reason the sound of a sim toddler having a starvation- or exhaustion-induced tantrum fills me with irrational rage rather than pity.

I do the same thing with playing from front view. If I have to build something that I can't quite reach I will tilt the camera before I ever turn it.
And Alexander Goth wearing this cowboy hat/crop top/daisy dukes/cowboy boots fashion faux-pas I inflicted on my world another time. My heir later married him anyway.
I rarely let my Sims die. I didn't put all that work into them just allow them to die. Silly, I know.
I am not a control freak but I can't stand half of the Sims autonomous actions so I keep autonomy off. They don't so much as touch a plate of food without my direction.
I usually don't play my pregnant Sims. As soon as they get pregnant I switch households and go back to that one after the baby is born.

I’m 100% down with this technique. Feeding toddlers can be a nightmare.
I ended up deleting the high chairs from my game save. Then I keep the fridge stocked so I can just pull food out as soon as they start to get hungry.
Even better, if I have a sim who masters the cooking aspiration, I just leave meals on the counter for them to grab autonomously.
