Oh here's one I hate. Sims won't bathe on the public lots if another sims is using one of  the shower cubicle things...and they also won't even go into the bathrooms most of the time because of that.  If a sim is extremely shy then I could see, but otherwise it is just ridiculous. There's no point in having more than one shower in a gym because only one sim will go in the bathroom at a time.
I've never had that problem before, that's odd. I've been able to shower at the same time... Maybe I happened to catch a break :P

How triangular the werewolf face is.

Jaycen Hendrix in LP has a pretty oval head, and when he was turned into a werewolf before I could move him in for my LifeStates Dynasty. He wound up with a very weird shaped head.

Also, the werewolf underbite is ridiculously exaggerated.

Not to mention that Townies are transformed ALL THE TIME, and they're not even menacing whatsoever.

I love insane sims, I truly do. So I had my sim marry an insane sim. She's trying to get some martial arts challenges out of the way, so I made her insane husband get a point in martial arts so she can have a sparring partner.

Every time they spar, her husband decides to change into a new outfit. Every. Single. Time.

Those blasted insane sims. >:(

Grrrrrrrrrr Story Progression

I just started a dynasty in Bridgeport and not one of the townies married or reproduced.  Now there's only adults or elders or vampires for my Sim's heirs to marry or a bunch of ring-ins I've never heard of.  Seriously, while I can't wait for the next EP, how about we use the collective might of this forum to lobby EA to fix the story progression problem.  It's a real kill joy.

When Sims go and pick up a baby and then put them down right in front of people to go and do something else. I always think about how traumatized that baby should be!

Build Mode. That is all. Whether it's having to move a window out of the way just so I can place some stairs next to a wall, struggling to get the cursor to move an object into the right position, or attempting in vain to build a proper fountain, build mode knows how to irritate me.

Only a minor annoyance but hey, the fact that you can't move photos/award certificates etc. up and down the wall, I found this really annoying when I tried to make a museum for my sims and one sim ending up taking up much of the room. :-[

OK so here's some things that annoy me.  When you pick out an outfit for a woman, taking time to decide.  Then she gets pregnant and suddenly gets maternity clothes.  Then, she has the baby and the rest of her life she has those maternity clothes on.  OK, what happened to the outfit I worked hard to make?

Also, you pick out a black outfit and when you get your sim to their house it turns out like a light gray or dark gray when you created the outfit it was jet black. 

Another one is you for example put your sim with dark blond hair and when you get your sim to their house it comes out a light blond hair.

Lastly, the lack of clothing, hair styles, etc for kids.  Every sim game I've played that always happens.

Grim, after the baby is out, you can wear your regular outfits again, no?

I really dislike the cellphone cameras, as well as memorizing scenes for painting. I sure hope they can improve on it a bit.

Well she stays in her maternity outfit.  I will buy a bureau next time and have her change into every day wear and see what happens.

I don't know if this is a feature, or a glitch, but I think I found an annoyance to the game: When you have a party, or just walking through town, and a vampire will randomly die of thirst.

Only a few townies have died even after 9 weeks in my dynasty, but all of them have died while they were in the presence of one of my sims. It's a little unnerving.

Birthday animation. Mostly because it interrupts whatever you are doing...and is especially bad sometimes, like if you are in the middle of cooking.

Woohoo birthday. Wait, i'm cooking. So what, birthday. The kitchen is on fire!! Birthday woohoo. Stop, the kitchen is on fire!!!.

You can cancel the action for all those annoying party blower types, unless you mean the "Aging Up" of the actual sim?
