Why r Sims so stupid ?
JudeMG:
I love this thread. :)
I know this was mentioned before, but WHY is there such an obsession with babies and toddlers? When I want them to feed the kids or put them to bed on their own, or just play with them, they ignore them. But when the kid's energy is in the red, and I've directed them to put him in the crib, and he's trying to sleep, here they come again to drag the kid out of bed to...what? Put him on the freakin' FLOOR!! So you have them put the kid in the crib again, and here comes another one, to get him out. What's with that?? I've learned that I have to make sure to have another obsessive activity lined up for them like studying something or playing on the computer after they put the kid in the crib so that they're not bothering the poor exhausted thing five seconds after they put him to bed. Oh, and if you *don't* want them to put the toddler to bed because he needs to use the potty first -- there they are, lined up to pick him up. And I just keep canceling them, one by one, over and over. And yes, yelling at the game while I do it! "ARGHH!!! LET THE KID ALONE!!!"
And I hate that it's gotten to the point where I don't want to put a piano or other musical instrument in the houses I build because the sims never stop playing them if I have them there. I've already hacked my game to bits to stop them from the constant water balloon fights (in winter, no less), pillow fights, and the endless "red hands" competitions. Why do they get so obsessed with certain activities? It's so annoying!
And yes, I hate the nannies. The first sim I ever purposely killed was a nanny because she never did anything other than hang around in the hot tub all day in her disgusting saggy swimsuit. She was totally useless.
Which brings me to the gardeners -- the female ones seem to uniformly suck. They don't do half the things that need to get done, and a few times I've had them come to one of my lots and go, "Your plants are in beautiful condition! No need for me today!" or some such thing, and there are WEEDS all over the place! That's when they aren't whining or yelling, "Earlagonda!!" because something isn't where they think it should be.
I hate the Sims. So why am I so addicted?

Actually, with the help of JM Pescado's "Eye of Pescado", the baby care thing is easier-although they do pile up on things, and you still have to keep them busy. It does make me uncomfortable when they put the baby on the floor, even though I've read where it doesn't do any harm to the baby..although in real life, you'd get put in jail for child abuse, quick!
As for nannies, I've had pretty good luck with mine-one house even has round-the-clock nannies, and they don't all go into the swimming pool. They do their job and then leave. It's those maids you gotta watch out for, always hanging around and looking for some excitement.
I hate the weeds, though..they pop up everywhere.
By the way, MATY does have a "no-whine" hack that eliminates alot of the whining that the Sims do when they're really being aggravated.

:laughing: This thread is so funny!
I have a good one that annoys the hell out of me. Champagne at weddings. Now you would think that a wedding would be a perfect place for champagne. Not at all, because if there is champagne present those blasted sims with toast themselves in peeing everywhere every time! One toast is nice, but I had this one sim once toasting the marrying couple like 6 times in a row. Everyone kept joining in and drinking and soon just about everyone had an accident on the lawn. The wedding was ruined.
Still though I've got to give Sims some credit. I've condemned a few to die for various reasons a few times. I sought to accomplish this through neglect. I figured if I left them alone they would be dead a few hours. Not so, somehow they usually manage to keep on going. Sure their aspiration drops into the red and they go mad, but at least they are alive!
Speaking of which, that's another annoyance I have. Wouldn't it be wonderful if want they did autonomously actually coincided with what they want? For example if they want to go swimming in the ocean, why, why do they build a sandcastle instead, mere yards away from the big blue sea?
But I love them and I love the game. No matter how bored I get, something unexpected always happens and completely renews my interests. I just can't help it. ;)
Why Lie:
My sims just WANT to be struck by lightning 24/7.
Also one of my old games my sim had twins, then managed to set the house on fire.. so she and the father ran out of the house with the twins and LEFT them on the side in the rain and every time i told them to bring the kids back in they went off to do something else..

Don't get me started on the very special fire moronism. I always wondered what this fascination with fire is all about. It renders the "make emergency call" function of the phone pretty much useless, since they're rather burning to death watching and hopping like drag queens in dispair, than dial for the fire fighters.
My very first Sim surprised me with burning to a cinder preparing his first meal in the house. What's more, if he's dead, the fire comes with the house. The next family I moved into the same lot was burning too once they had moved in.
