I don't like it that the animals mess up the fast forward when everyone's sleeping at night.

I don't like it when the stray dog/cat trashes the newspapers before your Sim can get to it (especially when my Sim was in the middle of an opportunity where he had to read the newspaper for 5 days).  Soooo not happy >:(

I don't understand why Sims are so enamored of canned showers. I buy a couple to keep in inventory so I don't have to stop by the store every time I'm about to send my Sim into a tomb, but as soon as the hygiene bar gets about 2/3 of the way down, out comes the shower in a can. And I can't cancel it in time to keep them from wasting 120 simoleons on a shower they don't even need. Do canned showers have a hidden "fun meter" or something? Every Sim I've played seems to absolutely love them.

Ok, so in my legacy I have this brand new amazing house I just remodelled for my Dreamers, and what every member of the family does without fail is use a nearby sink to clean the dishes instead of their dishwasher! I've replaced the thing, moved it to another part of the room, nothing I try seems to work. They just seem to feel the need to get their hands dirty. :P So annoying, it just wastes time!

Maybe its something in the coding for that particular sink that makes it priority?

They seem to go to literally any sink on the floor. :o They're all different types, so it must not be just one particular sink that's the problem, but I wonder what is.. I think I've only seen a sim use the dishwasher once. ::)

Ooh, the scolding!  If my sim-kids are 5 minutes late for school, they get yelled at, and by the time all is said and done, they're at least an hour late for school.  That doesn't make sense. . .

How about when the kids get grounded and the parents keep scolding them for leaving the house because they're trying to go to school?!

This is so true! They waste it like that and when get burned on fire trap - there is none left  >:( Money isn't a problem most of the time, but I hate to run and look for a dive well when canned shower should do the trick!

When I help myself to food at a close friend's place yet they inconspicuously deem that as "inappropriate".

Don't forget how they deem sleeping inappropriate after agreeing to let you sleep over. :P

I don't know why but for some reason the music/tune that plays when you fufill a wish is really annoying to me. I try to avoid it at all costs.  ::)
If at first you don't succeed, call it version 1.0.

There's several things I don't like.

1. Pregnant sims can't get tattoos. That makes no sense. I can see if the stomach was restricted but tattoos entirely? There are other parts of they body EA.

2. Like someone said on page 1, the whole toilet flushing thing. It was funny the first time but practically every time? Whoever thought that should be the way they flush toilets is a jerk. Spacing that interaction out would've been wiser. I know the sims is a humorous game cause I've been playing since 2000 but come on.

3. Stuff breaking all the time. I had a sim buy a new house and she hadn't used a thing. I had her sit down at the computer to look for a job. When she was done the computer broke.  :o I just make everything unbreakable cause it's so stupid.

4. Two of my sims went to France for a honeymoon. They get to base camp and there's like 20 million explorers. No really there was enough to hog up ALL the beds except one. There's about 8 single beds and 2 double. My sims try to go inside base camp and practically all the explorers are blocking the doorway creating routing brain farts. My sims were tired and a no brainer here, the explorers were tired too. They all finally go in different directions and my sims get in. I send the female sim to bed which was empty and so were some singles. Sent the male sim to get something to eat. I was feeling psychic cause EA programmers always seem to do this and I had a itchy feeling one of those explorers was going to pick THAT particular bed too when there were others. I checkup on the female sim and just as I suspected some explorer is getting reading to hit the hay.

I choose another bed and she goes to sleep. I get ready to put the male sim to bed with his wife in the double bed but theres a nightstand on the other side of the bed right up against it. It's like who designs these community lots like this. Couldn't move it in buy mode and didn't feel like going into edit town. I was going to send him to another bed but by then each and every bed was taken. All the NPC's were sleepy at the same time as my sims. I ended up just using the "make all happy" cheat. Situations like that are really obnoxious and I know the programmers had to have seen them and are sitting back laughing at players.

5. Pets congregating on my sims porches all day everyday like clockwork. There's always a couple RIGHT at the doorstep effectively blocking my sims path. I know you can make a fence but it's kinda boring when all your sims have fences and gates. A little touch of realism would be nice.

6. A highly skilled equestrian having trouble mounting a horse or falling off all the time. I can see here and there but more often than not? I have a sim who's level 8 at the moment and she still struggles to mount her horse, although she rides the horse like a pro. No pun intended.

7. Too many vampires in Bridgeport, I ended up moving to a couple different worlds now finally I have my sims in Hidden Springs. I don't mind vampires but it's like EA went overboard with that and the celebrities. Two bit 1-star celebrities walking around. Some act pompous. When one of my sims surpassed them and was about 3 stars all of a sudden that two bit is going bonkers at the sight of my celebrity sim and wants to take pictures or get an autograph. I guess that's pretty accurate.

8. The whole standing around waiting for sim to change clothes.

9. Sims overeating. I have one who's muscular, no where near fat. He'll eat a plate and then go for seconds when his hunger is already maxed.

10. Butlers. Anybody who has one knows exactly what I'm talking about. Taking laundry out of the hamper and putting it in the washer only to take it out and drop the wet clothes on the floor. Dryer is right there too. Butler sees your sim cooking and big surprise, they want to whip up a meal. They effectively create a routing issue cause they're all up in your sims space. Then you have to put away the leftovers that they've made. At least the dishes are high quality. I had one who had a neat trait but after a while wouldn't shower so I fired him. My sims always had negative moodlets cause of his stank. He was a pretty good sim personality wise but had to do it.

I know there's a mod for LiveIn Maid but the creator disabled social interactions. When the maid has no work to do, she just stands there looking like a robot.

Welcome to our Forum, WillGotti!

At first, I wasn't sure what to think of your post, wondering if it was just a big rant.  But then I saw this part and started laughing.

Situations like that are really obnoxious and I know the programmers had to have seen them and are sitting back laughing at players.

Then I got to this part and laughed again.

I had one who had a neat trait but after a while wouldn't shower so I fired him. My sims always had negative moodlets cause of his stank.

I hope you enjoy yourself here.  :)
