Things you wish your Sims didn't do

    They ignore their need to use the restroom, some continually grab glasses of water. They use bathroom sinks to do dishes and in one case they used bathroom counters to fix food. They use umbrella’s which is plan annoying in some cases.

    Leaving toddlers outside and rotating around the dinner table.

    *Drop off food at coffee tables
    *Queue up a wave goodbye when jogging by another Sim who is leaving the area. And then when they stop jogging waving to no one.
    *Dropping everything to shovel snow!!!!
    *Sims who all appear at the same time on community lots in the same spot rather than either being there already or arriving in a trickle effect.
    *Disappearing at the front of the house instead of leaving at the corner of the lot.

    Washing the dishes on the bathroom sink
    Siting in the bed to eat/read having a dinner table/sofa

    When they are literally on the brink of starving or wetting themselves and I tell them to eat or pee and they just have to hug everyone in the house first.

    Right now I would have to say my toddlers not finishing their meals. They eat very little and then leave their plates all over the place. Since they don’t finish dinner they wake up starving. Unless I make them go back to eat they fall alseep still hungry.

    Annoying actions like push ups, trolling forums, cell phone invites and playing on the cell phone, and the default happy mood annoys me and makes me think they are stepford robots with fake smiles.

    Can i say a few things i wish they did autonomously?

    - Looking for a job
    - Developing skills for that job (expecially if they have the 'aimbitious trait)

    everything they are not told to :)

    do anything when I have autonomy off for selected sim.

    I'm so close to just deleting the 🐸🐸🐸🐸 dollhouse so that my mom sim won't constantly try to go play with the dolls by herself.

    Sad mopey sims. I stopped using the toddler “charmer” trait because they grow up to be sad adults. To change their moodlet from sad to happy they have to constantly be socializing....and if the conversation stops for any reason, minutes later they are sad and wondering “where is everyone at?”. Please just stop, you don’t need to talk to someone ALL THE TIME, you needy 🐸🐸🐸🐸.

    > Asking to buy a bee box in the whims. I swear all my sims are obsessed with owning one of these things. :D

    Definitely, whether in an apartment, a lover of the outdoors etc doesn't seem to matter, every sim obsesses over wanting a bee box and i'm sick of it, ease up on it some, at least target outdoors sims and the like and drop it on those living in apartments entirely perhaps?

    Have default smiles on their faces. Makes them feel like Stepford Wives robots and no different from possessed Sims. It literally creeps me out like scary clowns.

    I wish my vampire grand master sims with their vampire strength maxed out wouldn't keep losing duels against fledglings. It's embarrassing! =P

    "Why are you leaving the book on floor? You have the neat trait, your chair is right next to the bookshelf so why aren't you putting the book back on the shelf?"

    I have autonomy disabled and they still pull dumb stuff like this...

    "You're a foodie, that drink is excellent quality- why the eff do you not like it?"

    I actually looked that up thinking it was a bug...It's not. A drink needs to be excellent quality and made by a sim with a mixology skill of 5 or higher for a foodie to like it...

    "Loner does not equate to being a butt online, stop trolling I wanted you to be nice!"

    I feel like this game needs a "quiet" trait- a sim with this trait prefers the peace and quiet of home, don't require socialization and gains a powerful fine moodlet when on their home lot.

    We need traits that trigger fine instead of happy and I wish my sims would stop talking or making noises all the time- you are reading a book be quiet darn it!

    I'm highly in favor of a Quiet Trait.

    I get annoyed when my Sims crane their necks to talk to Sims behind them. I get annoyed when they stand there doing nothing for too long even when they have a task assigned.

    Go outside in freezing weather barely clothed and almost die.
    Order a drink at the bar and just as I cancel the action: * cha-ching * -18 simoleons
    Walk in on other sims bathing and then go hide from everyone.
    Put empty plates in random places.
    Burn grilled cheese.

    Wash the dishes in the bathroom sink instead of the kitchen one.
  • calaprfycalaprfy Posts: 3,927 Member
    Talking to plants. And playing with the dollhouse.

    Drinking water - This is starting to be a pet peeve. They do it far too much and the entire process takes WAY too long. It's usually an hour and a half from the time they go to the sink, stand there drinking the water, then rater than wash the glass at the sink they are standing at they usually walk into the living room and set it on the coffee table. They then stand there for up to a half an hour and finally decide to pick it back up and wash it. It's infuriating! lol

    They may as well name the game Water Drinking Simulator 2019

    This one's mega easy.
    I thought they had forever cured the whole leaving glasses everywhere thing from the Sims 2.
    I don't recall this happening on the regular in the Sims 3 (if at all)
    An now it's back and more annoying than ever in the Sims 4

    Sheesh, I hate the whole water drinking thing because sims don't even need it. They leap at the sink for water whenever they can and like you said leave glasses everywhere. It doesn't even provide anything good either and nor does it prevent them from wanting more water.

    Drinking water just makes them pee and on top of that if your sim is a foodie it just makes them uncomfortable all the time, its like having to stop a toddler from hitting themself in the head every minute.

    That's a good point and is why I don't use the foodie trait. They seriously need to fix that. I mean, it's just water. Either that or they should add bottled water to the game for foodies.

    Or in my case I'd be happy if they re-used the glass, or even left no glass behind at all :)
    You're Breathtaking!

    It's even more annoying now with the bug that prevents them to take the dirty glasses/dishes to the sink or washer, so you have to find and delete them in buy mode. One more good reason to turn the free will off. xD
