Things that annoy you in the Sims

That's helpful! Wish it was true for the normal gnomes.

paparazi is what annoy me the most.
They dare to even barge in to where you sleep in the traveling basecamp.
They do like to gather a lot too. The more stars one got, the worse amount gather around the house.  *sigh*

so does kid punishing system.
one time my game had lag which cause their movement is stuck and they are all getting a 'skipping school' status. All off sudden, all the adults stop their act, and wanna scold and punish the kid

Things that annoy me in the game?

Forget anything else I've posted; nothing can beat the horror that is...

...Sea Foam. I've never had such blinding rage for a favorite color.

Hi, I'm new to this part of the forum.  I've read some of it and I can identify with quite a bit of it.  Some of it I find hilarious and I really feel for people.  Although I laugh to myself.  Just waiting for them to happen to me and I've had my own troubles that leave me aghast.

One of my biggest gripes is when I have several houses I use in a neighbourhood and when at one house, I've got my back turned on the others and the 'game' decides to give my unemployed sims a job, a profession no less, and I can never get hold of them by phone. (I'm at work.  Call me back in 23 hours.)  I really dislike that.  I have them unemployed for a reason.

With the new patch yesterday, two of my unemployed sims were suddenly not available on phone only for me to discover that they had jobs as stylists, level 8, with the portfolio in their backpack that I can't get rid of.  I don't know yet how many others will have jobs.  Ughhhhhhh!
- Also for my characters, the unwanted romances and neighbourhood pet adoptions that occur.

What makes it bad for you? I love Sea Foam personally.

After supernaturals, I sometimes go and throw vomit potions (Ad Nauseum called I believe) and the stronger sleep potions on paparazzis which gather at my gates. After seasons I've seen one burst to flames in summer and one to freeze during winter (saved both, I'm not evil)

Kid punishing system got another nonsense: my parent decided to give his son house arrest for doing some prank, and scolded him for breaking the arrest by going to school.

Also I never liked the imaginary friend, which made me put it in mother or father inventory so the child can't interact with it (as it can't be deleted even with moveobjects cheat on). Now when I tried the debug enabler mod to get rid of "omniseeds" and "bills" in mailbox, I noticed that I can delete it with the mod. (hooray!)

Well, once I had this toddler who was very tired, so I made her parents come put her in the crib. But, apparently, the two parents weren't able to find the toddler even though she's like in front of them. I ragequitted.

Going on-topic, I'd say that this "reputation" thing is really annoying. The Heartbreaker lifetime wish would be almost impossible to complete with this. -sigh-

What really annoys me is when sims are this close to mastering a skill yet refuse to pop a wish for the mastery. I've had that happen five or six times now and it gets really annoying when trying to rack up the LT points for a specific wish.

Other than that, it annoys me that sometimes after my sim dismounts from a horse and the screen looks like the horse has had its saddle taken off, hours later I'll get the 'saddle on too long' moodlet. I would complain about lag time but everyone experiences it so I'll just have to up my ram and graphs at some point.

I just discovered that a sim in labor cannot interact with her phone, which makes sense, she's having a baby, but I'm not having a baby and I want to either ignore the call or silence her phone and I can't do either one because she can't interact with her phone.  That's really, really dumb.

My game seems to be pulling a lot of stupid stuff today.  A family's motive mobile vanished, so okay, I grudgingly bought them another one.  When one of them goes to use the new one, she has two.  Why couldn't the game just acknowledge she already had one like it should have in the first place?  Grrr.

Here's a new annoyance for me . . .

Aliens.  Pretty much every night, someone gets abducted from my Dynasty -- and then is dead tired/hungry/etc in the morning when they have to go to work.

Why? *grumble*

Strange, I'm on week 3 and haven't had an alien yet. Guess they like suburban towns and not cities!

How when a YA goes to graduation, everyone in the family just drops what they're doing (TWICE!) to attend with them. It was cute the first few times, now: not so much.

Try this when you have an overstuffed household. It is utter chaos with fourteen sims, though how they all pack into ONE car is rather amusing.

I have come to dislike bedtime stories, because nine times out of ten the child chooses someone else's bed to sleep in. Then, once the story is over, either the one whose bed was stolen has to sleep in a different bed, or I have to wake the child up and move him or her back to their own room.

[ratchie]

The thing that is really annoying me at the moment is the way everybody just has to have a day off work when somebody graduates. Yes they do get paid for personal time off but right now I need my teens to be getting to level three in part time jobs.

Also why is it my nooboos can become best friends with a random house guest as they wander past the nursery but it takes endless snuggles for them to become best friends with their parents.

@ratchie

Because parents are simply the help.

I hate that only one person can go on a spiral staircase

Me:Omg, move! Your husband is starving!
Wife: I am going to play computer games(the computer is upstairs)
Me:*drags food up*

Yeah, I've had that too. Sometimes if I'm building for a challenge, I'll put in two staircases.

Strange, I'm on week 3 and haven't had an alien yet. Guess they like suburban towns and not cities!

Maybe.  I seem to recall reading somewhere that Aliens need space to land the ship -- a city lot might not have that.
