Don't you hate when your Sim goes behind your back?
« on: March 12, 2010, 07:16:23 PM »
Ok, so I have my nice couple. Started them out very roughly-as with most sims- they slowly built up a house and what not, they decided they would have a kid; just one, a son. Now that son is all grown up and they are elders and should be happy... right? However, just recently the son had his first daughter within the house, and got his wife pregnant again. They seem all so content. The father was a surgeon so I decided that I would have him check the gender of the new child-to-be... I left them alone to check on the kid then come back to find them doing Romantic actions on their own, in front of the old man's wife!Poor elderly sim! I'm infuriated, but I don't want to restart from where I last saved, but I hate that it affected the whole family and made it very awkward because I don't know what to do now. I've already restarted the game and going all the way back to the save point several times for many technical difficulties and what not. (Many bad computer problems). So I really don't want to make all those changes AGAIN, but this really bothers me! Sorry for the long rant, here's the point of it: Don't you hate it when Sims go behind your back and do things you don't want them to do!?

Yes!  I hate when they do stuff like that.  I've been known to divorce and kick a spouse out of the house for that kind of behavior.  And if the old guy's wife saw it, she probably has the Betrayed moodlet or something.  I also don't like it when they fight when I'm not looking.  I'll notice an Upset moodlet, but missed what happened to cause it.

Wow, that is probably one of the things that I am most paranoid about in a household with a large number of people. I am one of the biggest micromanagers out there, so I am constantly pausing the game to make sure that every sim has at least a few actions queued up.

Most of the time, I enjoy their freewill.  It makes me laugh to find them doing something I didn't expect.  Most of the time.

I also kick out the spouse when it doesn't work out, it was so irritating though because before that when I had the wife of the son in that very household meet family to family, the mother and father did something I missed because I looked back and everyone was going over to make the "upset" look, while me, the one supposedly watching them, am sitting back thinking "what did I miss?!".

I was trying to find the right post to put this in.  I suppose this would also pertain to sims that you made or birthed and your not controlling at the time.  I decided to go back to my very large family to see how the adults were doing after they moved out.  Of course I had played them at one time, gave them LTW and jobs and such.  Anyway, I go back to three of the families and they had reached LTW without me, darn, I missed it.  Now it seems strange that three would do that, but the other kids, don't go to school, don't go to work or do anything while you are gone, but some do.  Not sure how that works, but if you have a large family and have them live across the street or next door, you can see what they do from the other house.  Maybe some are more ambitious than others, which might be the case.  I only post this  because I read someone elses post in another area, that uncontrollable sims do not reach their LTW, so I just wanted to say, yep, they sure do.  Anyone else notice this in their game?

What about the checking on another family or leaving the game on play, coming back and there are more CHILDREN! Doesn't help if that was a start of a legacy and you end up giving up because there is no money....

Actually, one of the important legacy rules is that you don't switch families.  You have to stay with your legacy house for the duration of the legacy.

I meant the forgetting to pause the game when you go and do something else part!  ;) I don't switch families in any of My failed or one successful legacies.

Oh my I've done that before. I went to get dinner (supposedly thinking I had paused the game when I guess I didn't...) I came back and the house was a mess, all the needs were down, the family had skipped work and school, the mother was pregnant again (I didn't plan for that!) and the daughter had grown up! I was so confused.
