@Cheezey Amen to all of those, except maybe the adult mod related one. I mostly find that amusing!
I admit that it can be funny sometimes. I laughed at the Sulani spirits because it was just so... sims-level ridiculous. But it gets frustrating when it happens when I've got other stuff going on in the game, like a party I want screenshots from or whatnot. Nothing like interrupting a birthday celebration to stop an in-law from getting too cozy with his girlfriend on the bed when they should all be watching someone age up!
There are things you can do about some of these though. I don't remember if all computers have security settings or if it's just laptops, but you can lock them for yourself only, or household only.
Washing dishes in the bathroom: There's a mod by Scumbumbo, now maintained by someone else (Scumbumbo passed away), called Don't Wash Dishes Where You Angry Poop. It allows you to lock or unlock sinks for dishwashing. If I remember right, it locks them all out by default, and then you just unlock the kitchen sink.
Oh, good! I'd heard of that mod, but by the time I found it, it was out of date. Probably because it was under the original owner on MTS or something. Thanks for letting me know. I'll hunt it down!
Sadly I don't know of any way to stop your sims from trying to go to bed the moment their Energy goes yellow. It drives me nuts too. Not only do they go to bed with other needs they should take care of first, they often try to go to bed WAY TOO EARLY! No, don't go to bed at 8, you'll be so out of sync tomorrow it will be a disaster!
Yes. It's one of the reasons I get frustrated with too many sims in the house. You really have to micromanage their sleep schedules. It also peeves me when they put their near-hungry toddlers to bed. If you think they're cranky now, wait until they get hungry in five minutes and drag you back in there with their tantrum about it.
That said, I'm so glad I read somewhere that you can put food or snacks on the floor and the toddlers can feed themselves. At first I thought you
had to use the high chair and that thing is such a pain in the plumbob. It's cute when it works, but it takes so much time and the grown up sims always wander off at the wrong time.
