Annoying things sims do

Am I the only one who gets annoyed by some of the things sims do? The one that annoys me so much right now to the point I'm tempted to never create another atheltic Sim ever again is athletic sims grunting and flexing their muscles, even the females. It's a REALLY annoying noise and just stupid.
The other is how EVERYBODY coughs and chokes when eating. There's a mod out there to fix that animation at least, but Sims should be able to feed themselves without coughing and choking.

It's five am and my Sim frequently decides that first thing he'll do each morning is go for a play in the garden sprinkler. -sigh-
I think one of my other ones is since I got my Sim the Carefree Lifetime Reward. She's developed a habit of pausing what she is doing to come and point and laugh at her family. Then she goes back to whatever she was doing, usually in another room too.
:roll: Sims, you still got to love them anyway!
That reminds me. The temper tantrums when they can't do something or they get tired or hungry. Sims are whinier than any real life toddler.
I've had to remove all traces of water slides from any lot my sims live on because they will stop whatever they are doing to go slide on the water slide and they will run out to slide on it at the most inconvenient times, too.
My one sim stumbles and chuckles and looks around to see if anyone saw constantly! It is getting super annoying. I will never use that trait again.
Wrecking the appliances (by the time i'm four hours real time into my game, they've broken every sink, and shower in the house)
Having high free will and still not doing what is asked or needed (either doing something else, or having a low bar and complaining instead of taking the short trip to the batroom or kitchen)
Mother sims who won't check on their babies.
Going to the farthest room in the house for their needs even thoug there's one provided near them.
Washing dishes in the bathroom sink instead of the kitchen.
Certian glitches (like falling through the roof, or getting stuck on one level of the house)
My vampire sims apparently constant need to end his life. I was originally planning on moving all of my household sims into their own houses, but now I'm a bit afraid of leaving him alone, because he will go outside and literally just stand there and burn.
Maybe some real people do things like that, but when I make a sim with traits like my own, I want them to act like I would in the same situations, and I would never do anything like any of those things. It's childish, and a huge waste of time and energy.
And the deep fryer from the store. Hope your sim likes fried food because that's ALL they will eat!
What I find most annoying are the way relationships work. I don't like my sim being accused of cheating by romantic interests. It's not like they're boyfriends/girlfriends or married. What really really annoys me is the constant calls between midnight and 6am my celeb sims get even when they are married. Half the time they are sims my sim never met. And on the rare occasion my sim has accepted the date the caller is either not there or goes home immediately because it's so late or they are tired.
I also hate how sims spend ages freaking out over a clogged up toilet or any other broken object. I mean, just grab a plunger/wrench and start fixing it. There's no need to panic. >.>
Whenever your sim visits another household and they decide to get something to eat, and they're warned for inappropriate behavior. A sim you just met, I can understand, but when that pop-up appears at a relative's house, it really irks me.
Those curfews. I thought it was up to the parents to set curfews for the children, not the police. :? It's impossible for any of my teenage sims to have a decent date without the police breathing down their necks the minute it turns 10:01 pm. I'm always yelling at the cops to leave my sims alone.
On that note, why can't sims run from the police? For example: I had one teenage sim arrive home at 10:05 and then a pop-up came with a cop telling her that she was in big trouble and my sim had to run all the way back to the other side of town, which was miles away just to be taken home when she was already home in the first place! The entire time I was screaming like "Leave her alone!"
1 Sims that ignore thier childre
2 Sims that won't leave thier children alone
3 Sims that pay more attention to thier dog than thier kids. THEN get a negative 'crying child' moodlet from the child they chose to ignore
4 Sims that drop everything to 'react to pet' even though pet isn't doing anything.
5 Sims screaming at me because something is blocking their way instead of going around the item
6 Sims that wish for the most stupid and useless things like Snowball fight with, water ball fight with, sing karaoke.
7 The game lagging, except now that the menus are interactive, don't lag no mo.
8 Random Sims asking my Sims for dates. I mean they don't EVER bother them when they are single but once they are in a relationship, here come the calvery.
9. Oppuntunities that pop up trying to send my Sim to China, Egypt and France. Last time I took advantage of an opportunity like that, the oppuntunity disappeared when my Sim arrived in China. Ended up being a waste of mine and my Sim's time and a waste of 1500 simoleons.
Oh, when they're done reading, guess what they do? Put it back? Are you crazy? Stick that ish into the Inventory, son! And read it outside the house when you're not clubbing or adjusting your position for 2 hours to give a Friendly Introduction. :?
Or my Sim set his stove on fire, and the first thing he does is freak out, then instead of putting out the fire, he decides to microwave a meal for himself, while the fire is spreading through the kitchen.
My Sim had twins and for some reason one twin was like a day older than the other and as soon as the oldest twin turns into an adult he starts grounding the 1 day younger twin.
Finally, I had a birthday party and my child Sim apparently started a fire by blowing out his birthday cake candles. Two Sims died as a result, then all the people leave the party, and because my Sim has the LTR of "throwing good parties" or whatever it's called, everyone who leaves is like "Wow what a great party."
Nice to see they enjoyed the deaths... LOL
Sim reading all the time. I'm an avid reader myself and my sims are constantly trying to read the same book every time I interrupt them. So instead, I let them read for a sim hour and then have them do chores/skill.
Obsession with the deep fryer/ice cream maker...simple, mod to take away the obsession.
The stinking papprazzi, mod that sets cowplant to eat only paps.
Brave trait that I give the majority of my sims cause I want them to beat up burglars and put out fires. Problem is when one sees a ghost, they celebrate. Bad thing when your sim is a ghost hunter. :roll:
The only pets I like are the horses. With that being said, I have yet to find any mod that prohibits them from trying to go pet the d*mn horse in the middle of the night and the horse is asleep. That and any interaction with the horse from saddling to brushing will waste a sim hour with the horse doing to do-sey-do to get into position. :x
I let my sims, even married ones, go on dates. It's a good way of making friends and it isn't a real date as there are no hearts unless someone gets flirty.
