I hate the fact that townies call my sim at 6am, when she just went to bed 3 hours before! Who calls anyone that early unless it's an emergency!

I know!  My Sims get phone calls at all hours of the day and night. Yet if you try to call someone after a certain time at night you get a message that it's too late to be calling someone.

I think the one thing that really annoys me the most is the predictability my Sims seem to be getting.  I know if I plant a garden that several, if not all, of the household is going to bet obsessed with the sprinklers. I know that if I create a new household that they are going to do certain things when they walk in to their new house. They will head to the bookshelf, they will head to the kitchen or worst of all just stand there. Maybe it's my imagination but it just seems like, even though I have free will set to high, they have less of it.

My main one would have to be queue dropping. If I queue up 'perform' interactions on the guitar, then go to see what my other sim/s are doing, the perform actions will drop WITHOUT FAIL. I have to watch the guitar player like a hawk. Then just every now and then other actions drop from queues - sometimes due to fans asking for autographs, sometimes for no apparent reason. It makes micromanaging at least twice as hard, because I have to double check everything to make sure my sims are actually doing what they are told!!

Started a game with my sim and then added 3 bands members. Gave them all 'No Jealousy" and she's romatically involved with all of them. They sleep different hours and she's exhausted! Can't they see when someone is tired?
When my sim is dancing with someone and they get the hunger thought or bathroom thought, I have her stop so they can handle their needs. Sims are very self centered.

I really hate that fact that every single sim randomly generated by the game looks the same. Apart from hair, eye and skin color, they have the exact same genetics. It gets very annoying to customize them myself if I want them to marry my active Sim, especially since it feels like cheating. There's already a randomize button in CAS, can't the game just use that?

I can agree with that. They always have the oddest outfits too. It'd be one thing if they were insane, but another if they weren't.

All my Sims seem to have the free hat I got at the TS3 store and the pirate boots for Swimming.

They all have eye, nose, face shape, mouth, and voice track #1. that's why I never bothered for starting a legacy cause that's what makes those sims ugly.

And their CLOTHES...

That's another thing that bugged me! All the children and younger at the start of the game will always have voice track #1! They need to have a different variety of voices. What's the point of having three different voice tracks if you're only going to use one for all the generated new townies and younger generations? This isn't Sims 2!

I know! I feel bad for sims, they need personalization, and I have full sympathy for new townies. I don't want to move my sims in a town where everyone has the same voice. That should be a patch *scribbles that in notebook of possibly Sims patches*

The brief, shocked, panic that ensues when someone rings the doorbell.

Oh, and in line with every sim having the same genetics...it seems every random generated sim I get, paparazzi, mixologist etc is fat. There is nothing wrong with fat sims, but Every. Single. One. is extremely fat with pudding face. Maybe sims is trying to tell me something  ;D

It's the annoying Ice Cream truck that sits outside your house for hours!  Oink Out! I want to explode that Truck!

Do they come with an odd funky outfit consisting of a free TS3 Store hat, weirdo shoes an ugly base game knee length skirt and mismatched shoes?

I once had a SP townie who wore a hospital gown, hunter shoes, the Power Rangers helmet, and pink leggings! Worse than Amy Bull of Twinbrook.  :P

That is indeed a fashion statement.  What they're trying to say is anyone's guess...

Naturally. Pirate boots go with everything, along with curly hair and those weird stretch pants that came with Pets.
