Yea thats very true...

Here are a few of my pet peeves… (aka things that I haven’t been able to find mods for)

1. Why do sims who merely have a little crush on each other kiss goodbye??? Do you french everyone of your crushes goodbye? Didn’t think so (and if your answer was yes….. lucky you  )
2. You can’t attack burglars who come to your house (I know werewolves can but I would like my normal sims to be able to)
3. In AL – The newspaper gets delivered to the side/back door instead of the front door and it drives me crazy! I have been fencing those lots without gates to prevent this….
4. When toilets start to clog continuously (I don’t mind once in a while (gives the tinkering sims something to do) but when it happens again and again).
5. Sims are almost never able to give the toddler the bottle in his hands, something is always in the way… sometimes there isn’t anything in the way and they still stomp and drop the bottle on the floor.
6. 3 tile long tables… they seem to get stuck if they use the middle seats.
7. If you queue several actions and the sim gets stuck getting around something all the actions are lost.
8. When queuing up social interactions and the intended recipient is busy finishing an action, the queue is lost.
9. This may just affect me (hack conflict mebbe?), but I can never find the “sneak out” phone option for my teens.
10. And I will second the why can’t slobs be slobs. There used to be a mod for this by crammyboy on MATY called let slobs be slobs but it hasn’t been updated in a long long time and I don’t have the guts to test it in my game  .
11. The fact that there are so few aspirations to choose from (and are somewhat unrealistic, the secondary aspirations help a bit though but still)

There is so much beautiful items but there is also lots of crap. My rule is, unless it is “perfect” to my taste, it doesn’t get downloaded or if I find an issue with it in game it gets deleted too. So when I look at new items to download, I look for quality. For example, I am really tired of all the clothing that gets created that looks 2D, with all the amazing clothing that does gets created I don’t have any time to waste with that. I bookmark sites and creators that I know have good quality downloads, that I know pay attention to details etc. I rather have a few excellent quality sets than LOTS of semi perfect ones. Ya gotta be ruthless…

I have a little system to share though for weeding out items after I have downloaded them to try in game. I have a subfolder called “NEW”. This is where I place things I have recently downloaded and haven’t seen in game yet. Once I have played/seen them in game and know that I want to keep them, I will then move the item out of the NEW subfolder and categorize it within my other subfolders. Of course, if I decide I don’t want to keep it then I simply delete it. This forces me to go back after playing with a new dld and give myself another chance of deleting items that just didn’t live up to my expectations.

Yea I used the butler this weekend and found the same thing. He kinda does the cleaning of the house half a**. And constantly burns my food too.

Well... off to google to search for some better NPC mods!

I have more mods in my game than I have objects. Whats a few more??? Mind you most of them are fixes for EA's incompetence............

EDIT - Actually, has anyone had the problem where lighting will catch a tree on fire and the butler then runs to call the firemen but by the time the firemen get to the home the fire is gone and they fine you the $500 for a false alarm?

Great idea! I like french nails Simple but beautiful.

Ya know by biggest pet peeve with Sims is this, coffee obsession, I don't know why I waited for so long to get this mod... now I can start using coffee makers again!

Awesome hack, thank you!

Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you... so much for this mod.

What a fantastic idea!

Thanks!!

For some reason the simple fact that this mod exists made me laugh.

This is a great mod, I never knew it existed up until now… I wish I did!!... Just the other day I moved in a new family and finished all the details in decorating the house, stared to play with the family and poof! Power outage… I hadn’t saved once. I had to start everything over.

Good list especially for those who don't download a whole lot and are searching for something specific.

Very nice work, must have taken you some time to design each floor like that (what patience!)

Ohhh wow, this one is worth the download (once I get home)! Very nice, I love the loft style. Awesome job.

Awww what a beautiful kitty. huggles.

That reminds me, I should be getting a kitten in a few weeks (irl).

Your right there is a lack of "atmosphere" for the witches. And that’s because witches have nothing to DO with apartments. They spent time developing apartments and then just threw in some witches for good measure (to get extra sales from people who have been asking for magic all along). But the witches almost just seem like an afterthought... which is why a stuff pack sounds exactly like something they would do. Anything EA can do for money...*shakes fist*

I actually went for a medieval neighborhood because the witches just seemed so out of place. Its a nice excuse for a change though...

And I agree the whole good vs evil thing is a really lame concept, there are already so few useful spells....  Hopefully a mod will come out for that soon... **EDIT - Squinge here at InSIM has a mod for this now in the section for EP8 **
