Thanks CSquared2 :)

I haven't used these in Sims 3, but I used them extensively in Sims 2. This was an interesting use they showed for them:

I've been eying those myself.   ;)  I also used them in Sims 2.  It was great to make something look like it was on a desk or a shelf, but really it was on an invisible OMSP.  Nice for all those objects that look like you should be able to place an item on top, but the game won't allow it.

CSquared, are you using these with the latest patch, because it mentions on the download only up to Pets.

The lack of cups of tea annoys me. Yes, I know it's stereotypically British, but I want to be able to make cups of tea! If my sims can have a coffee, it would surely be easy to add. And I think this has been said before, but it'd be nice to have cakes and biscuits too!

I got the the baby swing, and I knew to expect it would make raising kids easier - maybe even too easy - but it is ridiculous! It really annoys me, because there is no sense in how it works.

Why does it make the baby less tired, when the baby is awake? Why does it make the baby less hungry when the baby isn't eating anything? Why does it raise all of the needs? And finally, why does it work when the swing isn't even on??
I guess they figured as it's "special content" it should be somehow super extra special and make playing soooo much easier. But it's ridiculous I can put a baby in a swing and it will never ever sleep, eat or need anything at all until it is a child. I could just leave her alone in a room until she goes to school!

So I went and loaded a mod that should remove it's unnecessary functions. I actually paid money for this item (because I always have sim children and prefer to have twins even) and now I'm modding to remove it's functions!  :D

My apologies for all the ranting. *ahem*

There are quite a few things that annoy me, but the biggest is the intelligence of sims overall. Why do they consider it a good idea to run toward a fire and panic, as if that will do something?!

Something else that really irritates me is that I'll tell a sim to do something and she won't move for a few minutes. She'll just stand there. Not always, but occasionally, it does happen.

One of my child sims had an imaginary friend. The problem was it kept following her in the bathroom. Even when I locked the door to only allow her in and out, the friend was still able to get through. She would get the embarrassed moodlet and stop what she was doing. I finally got fed up and had her tell the doll off (Leave Me Alone social option). When she became a teen, I had her give that doll away to her girlfriend. The weird thing is, though, I don't recall ever having that problem with imaginary friends before, so I don't know if it was a glitch or if this particular friend was just plain stupid (it did have the snob trait).
The outside is quiet, but the inside is on full blast.

Some IF had terrible traits. I had one who was insane and mean spirited and he kept setting booby traps and fighting with my child sim. I don't like IFs, their too weird.

My kid that just aged up have such a annoying IF. I just put it in her inventory and forget about it. If she keep singing to it I'm going to put it in the mum or dad's inventory lol!

Wait until she becomes a child, have her make a friend and give the wretched doll away! My sim's sticking to her teddy bear (she's a teen with the childish trait)!

No kidding.  I would think there are many more simmers who enjoy tea in real life than there are who regularly participate in brunch.

I'm not even British and I would love for there to be cups of tea.

I am recently annoyed by a sim walking through the entire house to turn on an obscure radio, and then walking away from it, not even dancing to it or anything. They just turn it on and walk away.
