Things that annoy you in the Sims

[hitch82]

I would have to say there are a couple of irritating things. I just installed seasons and I have a strange glitch where the tags in map view disappear and I have to move the household to fix it. Also the attraction system is a bit stalkerish. You get random phone calls saying "hey you're hot want to date?" I almost split up a marriage because I hit the check mark before reading it was an invitation for a date!

Also the attraction system is a bit stalkerish.

That sums it up in a nutshell!

I, too, find the attraction system annoying. It was fun at first, but I think maybe it would be funnier if the stalkerish aspect was left alone to the insane, the hopeless romantics, the flirty and the inappropriate Sims. Kind of like how the freaking out over fire needs to be left to the neurotic, dramatic and the cowardly Sims.

[hitch82]

Yeah I think a little more appropriate reactions would be nice too. The attraction system is just so odd though. I like having it there but the phone calls should not occur when there is a marriage in place. There should be some type of interaction before they try stalking your sim hubby at the least! If the Sim isn't a flirty, hopeless romantic, or commitment issue sim I don't think there should be phone calls coming into a marriage. If the sim  (with or without these traits) enters into a flirty friendship with another sim or is single then by all means allow the attraction system to take effect.

...or at a bare minimum, they should take "no" for an answer. When I've turned you down five times, take the hint!

I don't like the attraction system that much either. There's basically no sexuality mixes. If my main sim or any sim in the town is homosexual or lesbian, suddenly the whole town fits that sexuality. If not, everyone's straight. I also don't like how everyone's attracted to sims that they don't even know. I mean, I really like the gifts and all, but getting an "I'd like to get to know you better, we have so much in common." pop up as soon as I move my sim in, from a married and pregnant woman that has no relation whatsoever to my sim, is kind of awkward. Her sending my sim gifts is even more awkward.

[hitch82]

Exactly! Or having people send your married pregnant sim gifts is awkward. Or hanging out on your porch for hours at a time when your husband/wife/SO is home. Way too much like a stalker! I have to say that they have some serious issues to work through with the attraction system.

I could just see that in real life...I am married and pregnant (for real actually lol) and my husband comes home from work and their is some dude hanging out there going "Hey we have so much in common."  My husband would not be a happy camper.

That's the other thing. I would have thought it would have triggered some jealousy but I guess that is only if you respond to the attraction system?

My return to the thread.

*go to bed*
"It's your agent, lolol go present a check, lololol"

*watch TV*
"It's your agent, lolol work out by doing something lolololol"

*ragequit*

What upsets me about the game is that you can't save until Grim leaves.

He spent THREE SIM DAYS in William's Mad Manor once, and I had to wait until he finally left

I have to say that they have some serious issues to work through with the attraction system.

My married Sim gets a wedding present from a male friend saying "be happy together" or something similar and that male friend sends him a love letter in the same mail drop saying "make my dreams come true".  Neither have the flirty or hopeless romantic trait.  I don't think traits have anything to do with it.  But it sure is annoying.  Despite being married, his phone still rings about 6 times a day and it's usually just someone (male and female) asking for a date.  Seriously would you date Vita Alto when she calls at 11:30 at night.  Not this little black duck!

Burglars always annoy me. Usually, because they come as a sign that I forgot/can't afford an alarm. They also never seem to get caught for some reason. Even when they're still in the house.

[Seabody]

If the constant date requests annoy you, I find removing your Sim's Online Dating Profile helps. Computer > Online Dating > Remove Profile.

LOL The point was that it needs to work out based on traits.

As for "stalking" the game is T for teens and stalking is a very touchy, inappropriate subject for a game that's meant to be fun and not super-realistic.

Steam vegetables.  My gardening drone wants to steam vegetables in the sauna all the time.  If I lock the sauna, she does the path blocked dance.  I'm so getting rid of that sauna!

Sorry for bringing it up? I just said what I thought and and wasn't trying to make it inappropriate.
