Things that annoy you in the Sims

[Rainbow Dash]

Heckling needs to die already. So sick of getting negative moodlets from random hecklers and my Sim is not even a performer. Also kids should be able to karaoke without getting booed, Sims need to stop with the heckling already, it's annoying!

EA really, really needs to make Memories disable-able!!! Or at least allow to delete them all at once without having to lose hours and hours deleting them one by one. Seriously, if they at least were good for something, but they are the most useless thing EA has ever created.

Parties are also annoying, I agree. I almost never throw them because no matter what I do, I end up with the bad party moodlet like half of the times. I'm also kind of a control-freak and I hate having so many uncontrolable sims in the house at the same time LOL.

But what I'm really hating right now is some Sim/Pets interactions. I'm playing the Animal Instincts challenge so my household has a lot of pets, and I hate how Sims keep trying to feed foals every 5 minutes even though they are not hungry! Or scattering hay, or watching horses train for races or whatever. Really annoying.

It's easy to throw a good party, just buy a buffet table and select serve to make a selection of dishes appear when the guests arrive or order a pizza. (I recommend doing the latter before you throw the party). Put the stereo on before people start arriving and make sure you have at least one fun object that multiple sims can use such as a pool table, darts, hot tub etc.

Thanks  . I actually do that almost all the time, but somehow they turn to be bad to regular parties anyways. Maybe I should try other fun objects than I normally use. I'll give the waterslide a chance next time.

I just get Legendary Host for parties; then I don't have to worry about it. I so agree about the heckling, though. And why is there an option to heckle a toddler??

Good news is that when Seasons comes out, there will finally be a disable memory option in the patch.

I made my own mod to reduce heckling to just mean/grumpy/evil/innappropriate sims. I'm not an experienced modder, but it is a simple tuning mod, and one of our resident modders said it looked good. I'd be willing to share if you're desperate.

I've never had a problem with heckling. What is that? Random insults at the sim?

[Chuckles_82]

Pretty much - and they get an embarrassed/feeling unlucky debuff for 3 hours from it.

[Frey]

Oooh that's heckling (english problems  )

I've never had an issue with it either. Somehow my Sims don't heckle others spontaneously - I have to tell them to, which I don't anyway. I didn't even know they could do that on their own!

My problem is other sims like Townies for example heckling my sims.

I don't use mods but thanks for the offer.

Yeah, I assumed that, but still, it's never happened to me. Or at least I've never noticed it, but it's kind of hard not to.

The prejudice against occults is uncalled for, they even judge one another. WooHooing with occults being a celebrity disgrace just takes the cowplant cake, especially when they are two happily married, kindly occults of the same lifestate. Robots are virtual people too!

I am sure there is some cure to this madness, and should hope something of the sort is packaged within Supernatural and the patches released alongside it or we'll have zombies judging werewolves in the streets.

Monsters, Mobsters and Monsters!

The risk of becoming a Vampire in Sims 1 put me off that game.  Becoming a Plant Sim in Sims 2 annoyed me, but at least it was easily cured.  In Sims 3 I will not buy Night Life (or whatever it is called) because of the vampires even though I would love to have the grand piano.   I will not buy any other EP's which include "monsters".  I do not make a creature robot either, or bother with the associated reward.  I would love to see a return of that useful Sim 1 robotic appliance, you know the expensive but useful thing which you switched on as you left for work or went to bed and it cleaned the entire house and watered the garden before returning to its pod.

 

It's those dangerous regular sims you should be watching your back against...
