Things that annoy you in the Sims

[samdiatmh]

Ah right, so saving takes ages anyways,
Rather than just blaming my slow laptop.

Loading worlds (Shang Simla, Al-Simhara, Champ Les Sims) also takes ages, too.

I hate how sims get shooed out of a room by someone (the bathroom), yet stand in the doorway making it unpassable.

It annoys me how a toddler who can technically speak be unable to say a single word.

How could I forget about this??? I keep a puzzle book (or this forum on my laptop) nearby for something to do while saving.

Haha I do the same thing!

I hate that while my sims play computer games the sound gets really loud.

Evie, I can tell you from one real life veggie to another, I find them rather annoying. I don't like vegetarianism as a trait either. The getting sick from eating meat is rather annoying. I would like it much better if it were to happen to only happen to a vegetarian Sim that's neurotic or dramatic. The getting sick from meat is purely psychological, and just a veggie being overly dramatic.

I agree it's a boring trait. I'm also a veggie as you probably can guess from my username. I would rather have them refuse to eat the meat in the first place instead of eating it and then get sick. It also annoys me that they still eat fish!

It annoys me how a toddler who can technically speak be unable to say a single word.

I agree I think toddler who can speak at least should be able to communicate with the older Sims, things like that they are hungry or that they want a hug,  a toy and things like that.

It annoys me that it's so easy to get famous in Nightlife, then you have to deal with all stupid rumours people are constantly spreading about your Sim. Also why do my Sim always have to try impress celebritys before the can chat even when my Sim has more Stars?
Sometimes another Sim comes and ask for an autograph from my Sim and then I still have to do the "Impress Sim routine" for them to chat afterwards!

I found something really really annoying now that I just started playing World Adventures! The traveling bug. The fact that my Sims disappeared when I sent them off to France. Then, I played with the tourists for a while, but the tourists were unselectable. So much for my first ever Sim Vacation.  That was the biggest bummer ever!

I really don't understand the problems people have with tavelling. My sims travel all the time and the only glitches are lagging. I don't have disappearing sims or other issues. When I had Vista, I had megga problems. Since I got Windows 7, very few problems.

Yeah Ive never had a problem with traveling except some minor lagging in tombs.

Did anyone ever notice how (annoyingly) the parents will pick up the toddlers, immediately put them down, then pick them back up again? This happens around town too.

One really big thing that's annoying, is it was funny at first, but whenever a female Sim goes to the hospital to give birth (I always send the Sims to the hospital), Fiona McIrish reads a book, and Stiles McGraw is always freaking out in panic mode, "OMG! SHE'S GONNA EXPLODE!" This is exactly why I got sick of Sunset Valley! 

PS: I have Vista. Still great, and was brand new, release of the base game, just needs a real graphics card, as appose to onboard graphics. Once that issue is out of the way, no more LAG!

Speaking of pregnant sims. It really annoys me when the mother is in labor and when you have the father click on the mother to take her to the hospital to deliver, the mother is still the one to get the car and drive while the husband just sits in the passenger seat. I never got why it happened that way and I know it's not really important but it still bugs me!

[YZJay]

That's why I never bought my celebrity sims a car, they take a limosine wherever they go, including the hospital, and wierdly on other countries.

[jeanamariex3]

I never noticed the pregnant in labor Sim driving until this was mentioned, to be honest.

A pregnant sim with no other means of transportation will also ride a bicycle to the hospital.   I wonder if you could get one to ride a horse?

What would happen if the Horse was too slow?

What would happen if the Horse was too slow?

Then stories about the "child born on horseback" will be told.
