Things that annoy you in the Sims

[BlazeGirl12]

Well why wouldn't I like pokemon? It's only like the single most best thing in the world! 

I like Pokemon too! BlazeGirl was actually the nickname I gave to one of my favorite Pokemon.

Back on topic, the thing that annoys me most is the constant attention to the baby swings. Don't Sims realize that they're not actually doing anything good for the baby by making him/her nauseous? Oh well.
The next most annoying thing? The random clothing generator's complete lack of fashion sense. Kinda funny at times, but an eyesore otherwise.

I have good luck with randomly generated clothing.  I like to think of it as the sims suggesting what they'd like to wear, so I use it as inspiration, sometimes change a color or a pair of shoes and go with it.   

What I've always found annoying is the length of time it takes for all the clothing to load in CAS.  Patterns and the sim bin, too, for that matter.  My machine is neither super fast nor super slow, but it's been like this since the base game and with new material from expansion packs, it only gets worse.  I don't want to give up any articles of clothing, of course, but there's got to be a better way to display them that doesn't require so much time.

Especially the "Themed" and "Fabric" categories. Those are a real pain in the neck when it comes to loading.

[CSquared2]

Often, if I've chosen one fabric already and want to choose another for a different channel, I'll copy and paste the first one even though I have no intention of using that just because it means I don't have to wait for all the fabrics to load all over again.

The sim bin is still the worst, though.  It was bad before Pets, but now with all the prefabbed pets, it takes forever.

  Same. I miss when the default option was the "Young Adult" folder, not Pets.

Ugh I hate the loading fabrics thing! Thanks for the tip though, I wish I had thought of that.

The sim bin is definately the worst. I made the founder for my legacy a while ago, but it took forever to get her out of the bin. In that time I could've made a new founder!

Loading...ew. The fabrics and the sim bin are the worst...I have this base sim I use when I'm too lazy to do custom faces and it takes fooorrrreeeevvveerrrrr to load!

I agree about the loading time. They need to remove all those kids and animals from the sim bin. Some of the EA clothing, I would like to just get rid of. Never use many of the outfits and they slow me down when making a sim.

Yep, I have to wait about 1minute for all the clothes on 1 part to load (there's so many in just the shirts section!) 

[xFezIsAFreakx]

Loading times in CAS were actually never a problem for me, even on the old laptop! Everything went pretty quick, all was done in about thirty seconds. On the new laptop, it's all done in about five to ten seconds, even the themed patterns! Maybe it just depends on your processor or something?

[warr2098]

maybe I only have 2GB ram so a average pc, All the patterns take a while to load too.

[DeNile]

It's even worse when you have a TON of store content. It takes me less than a minute per category, but it does go pretty slow when it wants to.  Granted, I'm just used to it loading instantly.

[KirbyAndKat]

Amen.

Haha, I'm not the only one who does that.  . . unless they got something -totally- horrible, in which case they're due for a makeover.

Same here. And it doesn't help that I have a bunch of CC clothing/hair, so while I'd love to get rid of some of the EA clothing that I never use, I also have extra stuff that takes -forever- to load. *grumble*

I also wish you could just add hair accessories instead of having to choose a hairstyle with them.
