Messy rooms (like dirty laundry) Plus, why can't they drink coffee and read?

I get that a lot of mess might be difficult to animate. But it seems to me that piles of laundry wouldn't be that hard. Sims could walk through them, but unless they were slobs, it would bring down their moods.
Much as I hate doing laundry IRL, it seems to me that's a natural part of daily life, but my Simself has gone for several weeks with nary a bit of laundry to be done.
I think it could lead to some great parent/teen arguments, too, since messy rooms are a pretty typical thing to argue about!
And while I'm thinking of realism: I love how my bookworm Sims will read at every opportunity. Any time I turn away from them, they're sitting down with a book. That part is realistic.
But when they are eating or drinking, that's all they do. Or when they are in the tub. I don't know about you, but in real life, it's hard to get a bookworm to put down a book *anywhere*. Heck, when I was a kid, I'd read walking to and from school. (Sadly, once I was older, my vision wouldn't shift as easily between the close focus for reading and the distant focus for walking. But now I have audiobooks, so it's all good.

Like, a sim could just be walking outside while reading, and they could accidentally bump into people because they are so busy staring into their book! lol
Heck, they should *all* be able to read in bed. I mean, what bookworm doesn't read in bed?
