I think Twinbrook is awesome, the most realistic of the EA towns.
Today's annoying behavior belongs to pets. Not only do they continue little autonomous actions before accepting an interaction from a human sim, but once they get themselves lined up (which is annoying all unto itself), they start up with the autonomous actions again before starting the real interaction. I'm so glad that save just had a baby age up to toddler so there will be someone with lots of time to fill his social meter.
Oh, yeah, pet social meters. Plain old annoying. I wish they could go up slowly just by being close to their BFF, like maybe there could be a "hang out with Dodo" action.
