Things that annoy you in the Sims

I must admit I often sport the highly controversial Agnes Hagness hairstyle.

Why is it you can put a teen in the middle of sea of tables and chairs and they insist on doing their homework on the floor?

Many comfy couches, Multitab, Rocking chairs, mine still choose to walk to the kitchen table and do it  the old fashioned way.

When your sims is a vegetarian and their butler cooks them a meat dish so they autonomously eat it all then are sick.

That's annoying in general, and I'm a vegetarian. To me, the getting sick from eating a meat dish should only be for neurotic veggies.

I also think the romantic reputation system is kind of annoying. I believe it should also be based on traits. I think that flirty, inappropriate, and hopeless romantic Sims should be the only ones automatically accused of cheating, and have worse reps, and that the insane, mean spirited, hot headed, over emotional, and neurotic Sims should be the only Sims to automatically accuse.

But, in my opinion, the whole romantic/attraction system has been flawed, even in Sims 2!

The point and laugh or boo at your boyfriend/girlfriend because they are in their sleepwear when they have stayed over for the night really irritates me, I can't work out what governs it as some games they don't do it and others they do, I just did a test game for a lot I was building and she would almost swoon at her boyfriend in his pyjamas, this game same couple and she woke up first then stood by the bed pointing and laughing at him  it's just so random.

Basing it on traits rather than actual behavior?  I'm not real keen on the idea of playing a Hopeless Romantic Sim who only dates one other Sim, ever, never flirts with anyone else and still gets accused.

I agree with you about the romantic/attraction system.  The constant calls for dates are a nuisance, and I'm a bit afraid that turning down a date with the same Sim repeatedly might make it difficult to build or maintain a regular friendship with them.

I found the attraction system great at first, but it's gotten slowly more tedious.  The only good thing recently is that someone sent my sim the Fountain of Youth through the mailbox, which gave my sim almost $500,000.

Heh, I see the opposite in my games: if there is a kid, she will invariably insist on using the dining table. No other table or desk will do! Sims who want to read something will sometimes pull off a similar annoyance and insist on walking all the way through the house to one certain seat even when there are multiple free ones nearby. Read/work in the study, that's what it's for! *shakes fist*

Heh, I see the opposite in my games: if there is a kid, she will invariably insist on using the dining table. No other table or desk will do!

I also have two teens who inevitably do their homework at the dining table, despite there being three desks in a nearby study.  There are 8 chairs at the dining table but they always both want the same one!

and its always the same one causing at least one or both to bounce and cancel their action and you think "OH come on, use a different chair for pete's sake!"

I know right! I've made a larger bedroom for them, so I can put a desk in there, but no, they have to use the dining table. Sometimes I drag the homework onto the desk, but it is really rare that they actually sit at the desk and do it. And guess where they go instead?

I have that problem with sims using a laptop. Instead of using the desk with the most comfortable chair...they will just plop down at the rickety dining table with the lawn chairs. They should be programmed to find the most comfortable free seat with surface on the lot.

What's also irritating is when you have multiple kids/teens in the house trying to head to the exact same desk at the exact same time to try and do their homework--despite the fact that they each have a desk in their own room.

Ummm, scouts doesn't build fun?  What's up with that?
