Things that annoy you in the Sims

[jeanamariex3]

The babysitter reason is part of why I can no longer tolerate babies and toddlers in TS3. I believe they were much better in TS2, when they could actually communicate with others, and they could be in the hands of another adult near by. What ever happened to the nannies and asking someone else to watch the kids?

Oh this is an easy one & it's probably been mentioned in this thread already....I'm just too lazy to go through all the pages, lol.  When my sims grieve and cry for two days over a death it drives me nuts....they want to just stand there and cry or, worse yet, just stop in the middle of whatever task I have for them to boo hoo some more!

And when sims cry for their dead garden plants!  I could see a green thumb doing this, but they all do it.  Absurd!

When I use the "hideheadlineeffects on" cheat, and the spinning group/date thing above their head stays.

Seriously, I'll have the perfect angle for a screenshot, and that thing will be in the way and I have to re-position the camera.

Yeah, I'm worried if I buy more expansion packs it'll slow it down and the lags will be constant. Do you have all the Expansion Packs?

I do, and it is a bit slower than just Vanilla, but nothing intolerable.


It's annoying that EA hasn't fixed the Gym Bug (where the Fit Atmosphere buff causes you to gain Athletic at half the rate as normal) when you only need to change ONE NUMBER.

Cats incessant need to react nuetrally or negativly to everything!  I was playing a house with 4 cats and they would all queue the action to react to an object not just once but 3 or 4 times in a row! They would all do it, constantly, even when they were starving or exhausted!

I nearly had a cat get taken away by the social worker because I instructed him to socialize and when I turned around he had cancelled it to react to some object. *Facepalm*

Drove me completely nuts!

Ah, well then it isn't an issue. But I think my issue that I keep having where I get the "Device 0 cannot run this title" message is because of my non-updated graphics driver... When I read an article on how to fix the initial problem it said that could be a problem. I tried to do it but I couldn't find any of the specs I needed to figure our WHICH Graphics Driver Update I should use and not screw up my computer in the process  My dad said he would help me, so I might try to do that tonight after soccer and such... Now if I could just find those stupid specs!

One thing that annoys me is even if no one is around to see your Sim doing something, they still get caught doing it, giving them a bed reputation or causing a scandal. (Caught cheating and WooHoo with an occult in particular.)

Vampires. If you have Late Night installed, your town gets overrun with them. And every time my sim goes somewhere, it gets Hunted moodlet. And i hate to see some sims i want to be normal ( In Sunset Valley, Goths for example) having pale skin and glowy eyes. Freaky.

Dogs do that too.

[Castaras]

Elder sims having a different body type to young adults and adults, resulting in clothing options being much less and pretty darn awful for them. Also how slow they all end up going - my grandparents were all that sort of thing, but many grandparents are able to walk normally and as fast as adults half their age. 

Sims Pathing. Oh, so my sim can't stand on that path and play the guitar, but has to walk out of the house, out of the fence, round the fence to the back of the house, and then play there? Or even worse when they do this, then throw a temper tantrum because they can't go there.

Rather infuriating.

Ugh, WooHoo with an occult is the worst! My vampire couples get a bad moodlet for WooHoo with their own spouses.

[eisande]

Ugh, WooHoo with an occult is the worst!

Seriously.

One of my poor Sims just about lost all her friends because she was falsely accused of something. (Another irritating thing. That and having rumors spread about Law Enforcement career members being arrested for driving their squad cars!) Before she could undo the damage from that false accusation, she was caught cheating... with a vampire. Her relationships with everyone took a MASSIVE hit.

[Shirin]

Inventors taking relationship hits for blowing things up.

Really?

Long as it isn't my stuff, I could care less!

And the paparazzi. Oh wow, the paparazzi. I wish it weren't against Immortal rules to just delete them all - generation 6 just got married, and I made the massive mistake of inviting 4 simbots and doing it in a public venue.

The paparazzi were up at the wedding arch like it was about to be a group marriage, when they weren't going "OH NOES, A SIMBOT."

Next time, I'll just set up an area at the home lot designated for weddings.

Inventors really take a hit in blowing stuff up...when other Sims get caught in the explosion...like in the SV junkyard...whenever I go there, it seems like half the town, though really like 8 other Sims, show up and just hang around, and when I through the tnt into a junk pile and it blows everything up, they all get caught in the explosions and then get mad at me.  Maybe it's just that everything in the junkyard is so close together that blowing anything up triggers a chain reaction that blows everything up.
