Self-torment
« on: August 30, 2017, 09:34:40 AM »
I don't understand. In this alternate experimental save file of mine, I just engineered Caleb and Don a toddler son. From the very moment I continued to play them, Caleb changed the TV channel from cooking shows to kids shows and insists on keep watching despite being immensely bored with it. Why?

lol oshizu!  ;D

I think it is a bug of sorts. My sim parents constantly (and I mean constantly) want to 'watch with' or 'play dolls with' their children. It's driving me so bonkers I deleted the TV and the dolls house!

I absolutely detest my parent sims frequently doing the shocked Watch interaction.
C'mon people, you are running a store! You don't need to look at the potted plant and go, "Oh my gosh, it's a plant!"

Lol, I only let my sims watch tv if I want a group shot of them playing video games together; otherwise, no TV.
The dollhouse only stays until the toddler is done skilling Imagination. And I NEVER choose the "Child's Play" lot trait.
Whenever I read MarianT's Straud Dynasty, I'm tempted to play the TenGen Townie Dynasty Challenge next.
But I'm waaay to much of a micro-manager. For my retail dynasty's restaurants, I place the mandatory sink in a basement room with no stairs or door because....hand washing.

Back on topic, thanks for explaining that Caleb's reluctant watching of kiddy shows on TV is a glitch.
