This thread is still hilarious! Yeah, I wouldn't dare leave my sims alone for a minute because I know they will attempt to burn the house down!
My biggest peeve right now..? My sims harassing the poor pets every minute to give them hugs or belly rubs... Had a sim the other night hugging the cat, putting it down and then turning right around to pick up the cat and give it another hug! Again, again and again...
Why do nannies have to choose the most expensive meal, lobster thermidor to be exact, to prepare and then stop to go do something else, leaving it to rot on the counter? Why do they have to stand by the crib and stare into the wall? If I was a toddler being watched by the nanny like that, I would be creeped out!
Yay, a place to vent about stupidity the sims exhibit.
Oh, my God! Yes, yes, the nanny always does that, apparently, none of my sims had enough cooking points to just put the thing in a freaking oven. And why is it that pets who hate a person will still be more than willing to do things like hugging and fetching when they hate that person. That's something so annoying about pets: I mean enemy sims will interact in ways to remain enemies (logically), but they won't stay enemies with pets- I mean who decides to pet or play fetch with a dog that you consider your enemy!? They should be shooing and yelling at it, and the dog should be barking and biting, not be like, err... I hate you... sure, I'll play razzle with you (and not bite the person). They really don't leave pets alone! That is so true. I have pets installed, yet, I end up getting annoyed when a sim family gets a pet, so I never let anyone get pets. They won't even give the pets a chance to eat.
Oh, I just thought of this one. The Sports channel! It irks me off that they keep changing it to the Sports channel... especially, when in their interests, they hate sports. Oh, and my sim decides to change to the weather channel and it keeps telling me it's sunny out but it's going to ran every like two seconds; that was the one time, those sims decide not to change the channel every half a second and I had to make him do it.
My servos stop what they're doing and do chores excessively. I tell them to do something, someone uses the toilet, and they ignore my orders and go clean the toilet. They freaking leave during the middle of woo-hoo to make someone's bed that's across the house. Why do that one guy's servos not work and mine work too hard?
My sims have never frozen to death or burst into flames before. I didn't even know that happened. I have a family of homeless sims who live around a public bathroom. Somehow, even they have survived the elements, though all their children got taken away... apparently, they aren't resourceful enough to use something on a buffet table to feed a baby, they need refrigerators.
Ah, I just thought of something. I've lived with cockroaches before, but sims telepathically know where they are, and run over there just to complain to stomp on them unsuccessfully, complain to me about it (when they're the ones not cleaning up after themselves), and get sick. I have never gotten sick from a cockroach! Stop obsessing over cockroaches you aren't suppose to know are there (They walk of the house through the front door, go all the way around the house, stomp, complain, go back around, go inside, do something for a second, go out the front door again, around the house, stomp, complain, over and over). They sacrifice ninety percent of their time on this, regardless of motives, then complain to me about motives. Granted, I've had moments when my normal activities were briefly disrupted by cockroaches, but I still ate, slept, etc. successfully. They must have occupied less than or equal to one percent of my time, not ninety!
I just thought of something again while reading something in another post. I can't use the myshuno thingie, because it is the ultimate anti-school/anti-work thing. I mean they just stand there in front of it... standing. I X the thing, and it takes them like two hours of standing before finally being free of myshupnosis.
One of the two things I hate most that I can think of right now are throwing water balloons- they do it during winter and excessively. I keep having to hear that some kid is freezing after repeatedly making them stop and go back inside over and over and then I turn my back for a second, and I hear I'm an unfit parent cause he's freezing or burning up again.
Arg. Why can't they go inside when they're hot or cold by themselves? And who takes three or four showers in row because they're hot or cold!?
The other thing I hate (and I discovered this after I decided not to use automatic motive feeding flamingos, and try playing without cheating) is the "hold infant" or whatever that annoying interaction is called. I mean these sims decide to hold the infant and starve themselves to death, I have to manually make them put the freaking baby down and manually direct them to eat, or go to the bathroom, or take a shower, or sleep (because they'll just hold the baby again)! They keep complaining that the kid smells and I have to tell them to change the kid's diaper because they can't figure that out for heaven's sake!
