Things that annoy you in the Sims

[SimFreeek]

That sure is a lot of drama, haha.

EDIT: Just had a prime example of this, my eternally faithful husband got falsely accused of cheating because a friend gave him some flowers, he's flirty so the flowers acted as impetuous for him to flirt back, I cancelled that so it never actually happened but even so his wife got upset, a minute later after apologizing to his wife it comes up he has been falsely accused and she feels betrayed, he now has a cheater rep and they are heading for a divorce as she wont be civil to him in the least, at least it's not a challenge game so I can reload my last save, I'll accept it if he had cheated but just accepting flowers isn't an affair.

I've had something similar happen and this was before the latest patch - Star was a teacher in Twinbrook and Alma Drill wanted to cuddle with her once Star finished reading her book for work. I caught the action in the queue before anything happened, had Star strike up a totally platonic and professional chat with Alma, and figured that'd be the end of it. Star goes to the library to meet up with her wife Space and get some work done from "home" - next thing I know, Space stops working and accuses poor Star of cheating!  I didn't have Star apologize because she didn't do anything wrong so that didn't help matters. It happened to be a tournament challenge file (New Job, New Digs or something like that) and it was annoying enough that by the time I realized I inadvertently failed it anyway, I figured it was the simiverse telling me that they weren't meant for the tournament, no matter how far I had gotten by that point. On a happier note I went back to a previous save before Alma cornered Star, got Space a Level 3 visa in China, got them both to drink the Young Again potions they created themselves and are now in happy stasis at the old Pidgin place.

Anyway, this attraction system isn't going to help at all.    At least I know that if I decide to make either one of them males using the CAS cheat and have natural children, there's the possibility I could end up with a pyromaniac who can apprehend burglars and sneak around in the process...provided I can keep them from talking to other people.

The attraction system so far seems completely unnecessary. Complete strangers will burst out with...we have so much in common, before your sim has spoken a single word to them.

Work schedules still are not updating correctly too, which is highly irritating.

Odinsdottir, I paid attention to him during invention and I havent hear that yet. Maybe its from another voice type? Mine is male, 1st voice.

Alright, I got around to create a female inventor, and I finally heard that. Much less annoying than male inventors that is for sure. No more male inventors in my household from now on.

Random idiots calling to ask my sims out on dates is getting highly irritating already. My author sim rarely leaves the house and is married...but already she's had half a dozen people call asking her to date.

The attraction system! I rarely interacted with townies before, and now I'm going to have to avoid them at all costs to keep them from flirting with my couples. A couple of days ago I had a guest at my Sims wedding hit on the groom minutes after the couple exchanged rings! I have a feeling the attraction system is going to have me deleting townies in annoyance.

Don't know if this has been mentioned but when a sim leaves the firestation and uses a firefighter pole. The camera isn't on that sim and it forceably switches it to that sim. I dislike that soo much. What if I was about to do something important with another sim or had to immediately stop the actions of another sim then what?

[Gameactive]

I think my attraction system is broken, because none of that stuff happens to my Sims. Then again, that’s probably NRaas at work.
EDIT: Never mind, I loaded up a townie household and wouldn’t you know it, a Sim she hardly even knew says, “We have a lot in common.”

My game takes a long time to load. I’ll need to compare the read speeds of my hard drives.
Not too much annoying stuff happening lately. Thank you, twallan!

SimFreeeek, isn't it cute?

Maybe this has been mentioned before, but I really wish they'd give us a way to organize the contents of a Sim's personal inventory.  It's a big issue with a Sim doing alchemy, who has all those ingredients and potions to carry around.  Sub-categories would make it much easier to find things without having to scroll down endlessly.

[SimFreeek]

SimFreeeek, isn't it cute?

It is. 

[Odinsdottir]

Schip, I agree.  I was hoping the elixir cabinets would be like the fridge so you could store it all in there and have a nice, small, tidy inventory, but no. I like to keep inventory items to a minimum, but with alchemy you just can't.

I might be misconstruing your meaning, but you can store absolutely anything in an Alchemy Cabinet, so long as it can be stored in an inventory. I have one cabinet in my Dynasty house, housing 300+ Life Fruit, a couple of Deathflowers, many potions, and more. Typically it's my treasure chest of stuff for future generations - I have friendship potions in case a Generation cuts it close with their friend requirement, etc.

[Odinsdottir]

What I mean, Seabody, is that you have to take the items out of the cabinet, into your inventory and then use them at the alchemy station.  I would like to just stand at the alchemy station and pull items from the cabinet directly, without putting them in my inventory. Or can that be done? I may well be wrong.

After getting my hair cut, there is an EA-made hair that looks almost exactly like mine now. It's Sweetly Swept Back from the Store. Which, you know, is only for guys.

So close, so close.
