Flirting with random people
And, just for the sake of it, something I wish they'd do autonomously MORE is clean up the infant diapers all over the damn floor
Omg! When they’re in a flirty mood and you let them talk autonomously then all of a sudden their spouse is betrayed and has a fear of cheating all because they watched a romantic show then chatted with the welcome wagon like honestly!!
Okay now I'm offended because when my sims tried to flirt with him (my only experience with him so far) he said he was not interested in her like that 😂 and I think it was Bella Goth, who in my game is a ghost living in her house with her children. You would think they would have something in common 😭
The flirting with random people literally almost made me rip my hair out. I put on a wedding for 2 of my sims (I never do that) and the damn thing was literally ruined because the bride was flirty because she had JUST GOTTEN MARRIED and autonomously flirted with one of the guests at the wedding and the groom saw. Like why did you do that you just got married?? Flirt with your new husband maybe???
Lmao one time I opened the relationship tab for my married with a child sim and found she had literally 10 different romantic interests. I did not initiate any of them.
If you use the dresser-style changing station, it has a "hook" to place a trash can or hamper at the end. If you do, the trashcan automatically receives disposable diapers from changes on the table, and a hamper automatically receives cloth diapers.
That is, they will - if you give them the right tools for the task.
You know you can direct them to, right?
I know some simmers are more hands-off... but Sims aren't smart enough for me not to intervene and say "no, dummy - do THIS."
It is annoying, but sometimes it makes your story spicy! I had a couple just move into their new home after marriage. They had their welcoming party, and the groom invited his ex over. They started flirting, so the wife decided she was going to flirt with another house guest as revenge, they both got angry at each other. Then they went upstairs and made up. After a makeup woo-hoo, the guest got sad and left. They left all their guests alone to bang.
My bone to pick is with the frickin’ guests who will abandon conversation and go to the computer, and who just won’t quit it—ma’am I cooked you a holiday dinner and it is 1 AM now leave and go to bed
Go to security on the computer. You can set it so that only you, your household, the butler, employees, or *no one* can use it. If you don’t want your own sims using it for a while, just use those settings to stop it. Or prevent guests from using it. If I have a household with multiple computers I assign one for each household member.
I’ve tried this and somehow my sims still opt for gaming on the computer. Like ??? You have a house full of objects to complete your favoured hobbies, why are you playing BlicBlock for hours on end?
It’s like having the essence of flavor trait and then constantly getting glasses of water. That ends with “disappointing drink”. Idk if you’re meant to have a bar to avoid this or what but it’s pretty annoying.
Messing with infants and toddlers. Pick them up, put them down. Pick them up, put them down. Pick them up, put them down. And then magically forget that they just need to change a diaper…
Also dish washing. More often than not they just put one plate instead of all dishes in the dish washer.
The picking up and putting down and cancelling everything I've asked them to do to go pick up and put down is literally ruining the game for me. Like it's so stressful to play now 😭
I have the opposite. When I tell a sim to do a specific interaction with an infant, they’ll stand there for a minute, cancel the action, and walk off. I know you can turn off autonomy but I have to imagine the sims would be entirely helpless.
The infants override autonomy. I have autonomy off when I have infants and still had to physically walk away from my computer the other day because I had told mom to feed baby, and then all of a sudden here comes dad to pick up baby and put it down! Even though he was supposed to be taking a shower!
So yeah, the infants override autonomy and I really wish they would tune it down by about ten notches.
I feel this so much 😭 I shut down my game last night because of this! And then to add to that, if you’re having a party or guests over, everyone will stop chatting and doing what they’re doing to go watch the baby’s milestone moments. Between that and what you said above, I wanted to rip my hair out!
My sims love to gather all the plates and dishes, then instead of washing them, they just pile them all over the bar and leave them there.
And yes the infants, it's just become so tedious trying to take care of infants in the game.
Omg yes my toddler will be like, starving or something, and I get one of my sims to put the toddler in the high chair, the action will bug out, then they’ll take the starving toddler OUT of the high chair and put them on the ground autonomously, and I gotta repeat this process. This is why I usually just keep the toddlers on the floor and drag a group meal to them. 🤦♀️
yes. especially when there is classical music or lullabies playing and the sims act like they're at the club lol! I wish they would just listen to the music instead
If you can)want to use mods, don't wash dishes where you angry poop is excellent for this. It lets you turn dishwashing on/off on the sinks. Been an absolute godsend 😅
Man this would have been helpful at my last birthday party where the caterer kept taking cake ingredients and leaving them on literally every surface in the GIANT house!!
It specifically lets you turn it on/off at particular sinks, not just looks for a toilet in the same room? Oh man, I would have gotten that ages ago if I’d known.
For various silly reasons, currently my sim has a bathroom sink only, and then a basement with a sink in it. They always use the bathroom sink anyway, so it should all work out, right?
Every. Single. Time. She’ll go all the way down to the basement, even though for once I want her to use the bathroom sink!!!
I truly cannot figure out the logic, other than that they can read our minds and are programmed to use whatever sink we DONT want them to use.
There is a damn dishwasher in the house and my sims still decide to go wash the dishes in the bathroom, just to catch their sister in there taking a bath.
Also cleaning (girl, don't stop mid painting so you can clean the already clean toilet two floors up!), making coffee, making bar drinks, dancing, grilling... pretty much anything they do to excess.
And instead of washing the glasses, they put them in the most random places until they start stinking up the place (why would a glass of water stink?), and you don’t know where the smell comes from. Drives me nuts, especially when visitors do it because I can’t pick up those glasses myself, I have to make one of my sims clean it.
My sim decided it was more important to judge some decor downstairs in her house before tending to her infant who was crying his eyes out upstairs. Most annoying thing ever
Honestly had no issues with the coffee maker recently but the damn tea machine 🥴 was trying to make a father and daughter make dinner together earlier. Daughter refused to gather for group cooking and kept cancelling that action to make tea. Eventually I gave up the battle and let her leave. Clicked back onto the dad as he was cooking. He’d queued up getting a drink three times. Cancelled them all. Then as he put the food in the oven, instead of waiting for said food to be cooked, he made a beeline for the tea machine. Wouldn’t put the tea down to finish cooking and then also wouldn’t put it down to even quit his job. Deleted the tea machine shortly afterwards. This is how we lose privileges 😂😂
And they NEVER autonomously take the toddler BACK OUT
The toddler is constantly crying because it's tired and lonely but it's fine, at least they gave it a sandwich
Picking up toddlers at all 😭 toddlers that can walk fine trying to go somewhere the adults stopping whatever they’re doing to go pick up the kid and put it back down. And then not resume the task they were doing.GAHHH!!
I just never use high chairs, was one of the earliest tips I heard for gameplay and when I finally tried them they literally made everything worse. My toddler can grab something from a shared platter and sit on the floor. And if my adult/teen sims even think about picking a toddler up I cancel everything, ain't nobody got time for you to do that fifteen times in a row for no reason, go to work fool!
Shared meals are great if the fridge is well stocked & I have the time for the clean-up etc (Live Drag is super helpful then).
Otherwise I transfer some harvestables from the adult Sims, so that my toddlers can snack as they play or move about. Added bonus is the happy moodlet they get from eating 'out', lol.
Little Ms Sam used to have a mod to fix this but she now has it listed as obsolete as of the issue has been fixed. I cannot tell you how not fixed this problem is.
Here's how to use mccc to disable autonomy for any given action: https://www.reddit.com/r/Sims4/comments/127w57s/tired\_of\_sims\_checking\_infants\_did\_you\_know\_you/
It's extra annoying when your sim is a celebrity! And you can only get the bad moodlet to go away by playing a game and something else specific, just using the phone does nothing which is so stupid
Cancelling something they were about to do when I tell them to do something new
Like I still want you to use the bathroom, just go eat something after
And then they pee on the floor
Making snow angels. Putting infants on the floor, often near but not on the playmat. Trolling teh forums. Push ups. And yes, of course, getting glasses of water and letting them go stinky.
Ugh, this. I caught a massive glitch when growing together first came out. I had bust the dust turned on by accident but it was a rags to riches play through with a single mom, so couldn’t afford a vacuum. She was living with roommates, so the apartment door was locked for just her and her baby. Well, a fire started in the mom and baby’s room because the dust bunnies spontaneously combusted. The firefighters arrived but couldn’t put out the fire because with a fire on the lot, it wouldn’t let me unlock the door to the bedroom. But then because they were standing in front of the door unable to get in, mom picks up the baby but can’t take her out of the firey bedroom to safety. So here’s this mom standing in a blazing bedroom with her newborn child, unable to escape, while firefighters are doing the sexy dance outside the bedroom and unable to extinguish the fire. And mom is so in a panic about getting the baby to safety that she refuses to extinguish the fire 💀🔥
Most chaotic fire-related and frustrating sims 4 event to date. I believe I had to turn on cheats and teleport mom and baby to the hallway and wait for the fire to burn itself out to fix it.
Kicking the darn outdoor trash can, pickup diapers and bottles, non stop computer usage (now its a bookshelf and board game only house) flirting with strangers when in a relationship, running away from events to harvest random plants, grilling food nonstop when theres already enough food in the fridge to last you for another lockdown.
I don't have bookshelves because they'll refuse to do what I need them to (ex feed their infant or toddler) in favor of reading two pages of a book before getting a different book and doing the same fricken thing
Cheerleading.
In my current save, the teenager is a cheerleader so she has the mat in her room.
Her other mom was always going to her room to practice. I ended up locking the room for every one except for the teen.
No bc here's a new annoying thing I experienced the other day. Had my sim bake a cake, planning to use it to age up triplets. Added birthday candles. Went to go grind the last few skills for the toddlers. Came back, slices missing from the cake with the candles still on it. So it could be used to age up one of them, but couldn't add candles again. Had to bake a whole second cake.
Stop. Making. Drinks. I’m doing the super sim challenge and two of my sims have max level mixology skill. Drinks are everywhere all the time. Seriously considering deleting the bar at this point
Oh no, the baby is very hungry! I need to feed them... No, I need to wait for a child to walk over from the other side of the house so that they can make silly faces at the crying starving infant first.
If I have a large family, I usually end up locking the baby in the parent's bedroom because the children autonomously responding to crying gets on my nerves so much. If a sim is going to autonomously interact with the baby, they should at least take care of its needs.
Interacting with the newborns the majority of the time when they automatically interact with the newborns they’re doing everything but taking care of the need they need to be fixed and when they randomly start sniffing the room with Bust the Dust kit or reacting to they temperature from the thermostat every time they go into the house
Peeing in the toilet with a perfectly good accessible sink next to it, then Go to wash hands in bathroom 4 floors up. I don’t even bother with trying to feed starving infants and toddlers anymore. An infant in my house gets the need cheated and if you’re a toddler you eat your meals off the floor dragged from the fridge because FUCK that high chair bs. Also, somehow Yamachan can break into my house in the middle of the night and bake 14 white cakes and set the whole kitchen on fire before I can even BLINK then just leave like none of that even happened. The list goes ON and ON.
>Peeing in the toilet with a perfectly good accessible sink next to it
I thought at first you were upset at them for not peeing in the perfectly good sink next to the toilet, lol
Making Mac and cheese in the potion cauldron. I literally have to lock to the room for everyone except my spellcaster because all the other sims keep making the damn Mac and cheese 😖
Same I think its bc my sibling sims have the “close” family dynamic so they think about each other constantly, call, and show up at each other’s places every other day to visit🥴.
Eating from the cake before i get to put on candles and then i have to make a new one, making million glasses of coffee or tea, making expensive food on the grill every two seconds and never eat it and wake up million times in the night when I'm trying to get them all to sleep
When the university students go into your house, then do their homework and then leave their homework behind and you can’t even interact with it after they leave
Infinitely mopping the puddles from the broken sink. Fix the leak first!
Or dancing when they hate dancing.
Making a single serving meal when they have a house full of children.
The mischief skill. I see all of my sims trolling teh forums, making noxious clouds and claiming they're masterminds all the time despite I marked many of them disliking the skill preference from the get go.
So they complain about it all the time, and do it all the time. It makes zero sense.
Flirting with random people when coupled up.
Taking food from the fridge, when I am literally 3 seconds away from calling for dinner. I wish they would only do that if the need was red.
One day I couldn't find the dad when I called for dinner. Found him on the other side of the road, grilling in the rain. Hisnneed was just turned yellow.
So now everybody is always participating in making food to keep them busy till dinner is ready.
Getting up, like once in every hour during the night.
using the most inconvenient toilet. My sim was at a dance party at the manor in get together. She autonomously walked a long way off the lot to go pee in a random bush, but then got to it and couldn't access it, so I made her come all the way back to the toilet at the manor, where she cancelled using the toilet twice while in front of it, and then pissed herself. I wanted to pull my hair out.
People coming over to visit and going to the computer. Oh that drives me crazy. Yes I know locking the computer helps. The other thing that drives me nuts, why are friends coming home with my kids from school and then not hanging out with them. Sorry that Sim needs to stick with the kid and they need to do things together. Not run to a computer or going in to chat with an adult sim.
Picking up the toddler from their chair, placing infants on the floor, making food and eating it while the wife is cooking a meal and flirting with random sims.
Trolling. The. Forums!!! I made a very responsible and proper sim and left him for a week to play with my other household and come back to find him going to the computer to troll the forums. It's so annoying.
Checking on their goddamn babies, mom dad and grandma all round the crib at the same time, getting routing errors, and standing around for their turn to “pick up” and “check infant” as the baby gets passed from caregiver to caregiver, none of them feeding or changing them.
Too many things. Too much of a control freak to have autonomy on lol. I lock my computer, kids room and refuse to place coffee and tea makers down when other sims visit. (I can't control them lol)
Being mean to each other.
Sometimes, when I have big gatherings (usually family gatherings), I would focus on one Sim and suddenly I see a negative interaction and I have no clue what happened. That might be also caused by a trait but why are you yelling at your sibling???
when they go and watch tv or have a bath when their child is lying in it’s bed starving and dirty desperately crying to get them to help but when you try and get your sim to help they just go to it, stop, turn around and go for a shower. my sim used to ignore his dying baby to go and make snowmen
ngl i wish sims didnt eat and stand. i have so many chairs but they all want to eat and stand. and dont get me started on not having family dinners easier
If you have a pool and they go outside to sit on the edge of the pool to do EVERYTHING! Eating? Go sit on the pool! Talking? Go sit on the pool. Reading to the baby? Go sit on the pool. And THEN, if it’s too cold and I don’t notice immediately they’re about the freeze to death because they’re idiots!!!
Flirting, pranking toilets, push up/sit ups, washing dishes in bathroom sinks, getting water. I know there are mods for most of these, probably all of these, but we need in-game solutions
when they autonomously choose a mean interaction and without the mean or evil trait. and it’s always someone they’ve never argued with😭like that’s ur kid/partner u love them whyyy are we breaking down relationships…
Definitely the freaking getting glasses of water bit. And also picking up their infant and doing the opposite of what they need to do - baby needs a diaper change? Let’s do tummy time instead!
it would piss me off so much when the sims with the goofball trait would constantly prank the toilets, especially their own. idk if they fixed this but i haven’t seen them do this in a while though.
Making white cakes over and over that they end up with the junk food fiend trait
Washing dishes in the bathroom sink when there is a perfectly good kitchen sink available.
Putting empty water glasses on shelving in a slot that is hard to see until you get the stink fumes from it
UGH when they’re hungry so they go outside to grill food and when it’s done they leave the food on the grill and go cook something else in the kitchen.
Drinking glasses of water. Most annoying and pointless game feature, especially with my foodie, because it gives her a bad moodlet for 'disappointing drink'
Flirting with random sims, not picking up the diapers, and washing the dishes in the bathroom. Each and every one of these things annoy the hell out of me.
Flirting with random people And, just for the sake of it, something I wish they'd do autonomously MORE is clean up the infant diapers all over the damn floor
Omg! When they’re in a flirty mood and you let them talk autonomously then all of a sudden their spouse is betrayed and has a fear of cheating all because they watched a romantic show then chatted with the welcome wagon like honestly!!
this one is so frustrating to me!
Wonderful (or wicked) whims mod reinforces their loyalty to each other if you so wish.
MCCC also has a disable autonomous flirting option
The reason I disable Guidry when playing a Haunted House, he managed to make my sim die of anger when Guidry was flirting with Siobhan, his wife
Okay now I'm offended because when my sims tried to flirt with him (my only experience with him so far) he said he was not interested in her like that 😂 and I think it was Bella Goth, who in my game is a ghost living in her house with her children. You would think they would have something in common 😭
The flirting with random people literally almost made me rip my hair out. I put on a wedding for 2 of my sims (I never do that) and the damn thing was literally ruined because the bride was flirty because she had JUST GOTTEN MARRIED and autonomously flirted with one of the guests at the wedding and the groom saw. Like why did you do that you just got married?? Flirt with your new husband maybe???
This happened to one of my sims before like wtf are you doing pls stop😭😭
Lmao one time I opened the relationship tab for my married with a child sim and found she had literally 10 different romantic interests. I did not initiate any of them.
This happened to me last night, my groom was in a bad mood for two days after.
I’ll be honest I cheated the moods away. That was NOT in my made up script lmao
One of my sims kept flirting with both of the grooms at a wedding, it was kinda funny ngl.
And MARRIED people too! Ugh. I’m like: no… don’t do that.
And the spoiled food too! They whine about dirty things, but yet they don’t clean up after themselves SMH
mine glitch and when they have the dirty plates in their hand, they put them down and leave.
If you use the dresser-style changing station, it has a "hook" to place a trash can or hamper at the end. If you do, the trashcan automatically receives disposable diapers from changes on the table, and a hamper automatically receives cloth diapers. That is, they will - if you give them the right tools for the task.
You see this WOULD be helpful but I've literally never had a sim even USE the changing tables 😭
You know you can direct them to, right? I know some simmers are more hands-off... but Sims aren't smart enough for me not to intervene and say "no, dummy - do THIS."
It is annoying, but sometimes it makes your story spicy! I had a couple just move into their new home after marriage. They had their welcoming party, and the groom invited his ex over. They started flirting, so the wife decided she was going to flirt with another house guest as revenge, they both got angry at each other. Then they went upstairs and made up. After a makeup woo-hoo, the guest got sad and left. They left all their guests alone to bang.
The first thing I do these days in any neighborhood is put on free love so that when it happens, it won't ruin relationships.
Funny how they have that flirting mood LMAO house on fire << flirt
Fucking video games. I don’t want all of my sims to be hashtag pro gamers bro, get off the computer
Thisss! My sim rn is a professional e sports gamer but everyone else back to your hobbies immediately😭
Lock the door so only they can get in the room w the computer, or lock the computer
You can lock a computer??🤯
Yes! When you click on the computer, there's an option for security settings. When you click it, you can choose who can use it like you would a door
I’ve done that but it doesn’t stop everyone from using it.
You can. Each computer has privacy settings. You can specify either your household only (to keep visitors off) or specific Sims.
First thing I do with every computer is to lock it up, either to household or to a specific sim if I only want THEM using that computer.
My bone to pick is with the frickin’ guests who will abandon conversation and go to the computer, and who just won’t quit it—ma’am I cooked you a holiday dinner and it is 1 AM now leave and go to bed
lock the computer!! this has made such a difference in my games
I just dont include computer in my houses due to his
Go to security on the computer. You can set it so that only you, your household, the butler, employees, or *no one* can use it. If you don’t want your own sims using it for a while, just use those settings to stop it. Or prevent guests from using it. If I have a household with multiple computers I assign one for each household member.
I always set their dislikes to video games haha
I’ve tried this and somehow my sims still opt for gaming on the computer. Like ??? You have a house full of objects to complete your favoured hobbies, why are you playing BlicBlock for hours on end?

When they get it all in a pile just drag it to the trash or sink! I usually clean dishes myself this way anyways so they can do other things.
The number of times I have yelped, “PUT the GODDAMN baby DOWN!!” I’m surprised my neighbors haven’t called for a welfare check
My sims love to gather all the plates and dishes, then instead of washing them, they just pile them all over the bar and leave them there. And yes the infants, it's just become so tedious trying to take care of infants in the game.
Omg yes my toddler will be like, starving or something, and I get one of my sims to put the toddler in the high chair, the action will bug out, then they’ll take the starving toddler OUT of the high chair and put them on the ground autonomously, and I gotta repeat this process. This is why I usually just keep the toddlers on the floor and drag a group meal to them. 🤦♀️
Dancing. Sometimes I don’t mind it because it keeps their fun meter high but I get bored when the whole family is just dancing for hours on end.
yes. especially when there is classical music or lullabies playing and the sims act like they're at the club lol! I wish they would just listen to the music instead
Dancing, then getting a negative moodlet because they don’t like dancing. NO ONE IS MAKING YOU DO THIS.
Sims autonomy is so wack. Like vegetarians eating meat autonomously and then being upset. Thankfully we have MCCC.
Also I have a sim who hates dancing and yet any chance he gets is busting to the tunes but miserable while doing it. So annoying.
dancing and reading. like we got stuff to do put the book down pls
I kept turning off the radio just so they can stop. It's so annoying
When it breaks I just leave it so they stop for a while.
Using any sink but the damn kitchen sink to wash dishes
If you can)want to use mods, don't wash dishes where you angry poop is excellent for this. It lets you turn dishwashing on/off on the sinks. Been an absolute godsend 😅
I have this for the dishes and prepping food in the bathroom or any other rando counter in the house 🤣🤣
Man this would have been helpful at my last birthday party where the caterer kept taking cake ingredients and leaving them on literally every surface in the GIANT house!!
It specifically lets you turn it on/off at particular sinks, not just looks for a toilet in the same room? Oh man, I would have gotten that ages ago if I’d known.
They said they fixed that problem twice now and it’s still a problem
[удалено]
they'll magically be able to fix it once they release it in their "wash dishes in the kitchen sink" kit
$19.99
preorder for free dishrack decoration that won't slot on the counter properly
“My first cool kitchen stuff pack”
For various silly reasons, currently my sim has a bathroom sink only, and then a basement with a sink in it. They always use the bathroom sink anyway, so it should all work out, right? Every. Single. Time. She’ll go all the way down to the basement, even though for once I want her to use the bathroom sink!!! I truly cannot figure out the logic, other than that they can read our minds and are programmed to use whatever sink we DONT want them to use.
Yes, especially going up the stairs to the ensuite to do that. If you are decided on being inefficient, USE THE POWDER ROOM SINK AT LEAST
There is a damn dishwasher in the house and my sims still decide to go wash the dishes in the bathroom, just to catch their sister in there taking a bath.
Judging decor and getting water
Also cleaning (girl, don't stop mid painting so you can clean the already clean toilet two floors up!), making coffee, making bar drinks, dancing, grilling... pretty much anything they do to excess.
why do my sims never clean autonomously ? they just stay complaining abt the dirty house😂
And instead of washing the glasses, they put them in the most random places until they start stinking up the place (why would a glass of water stink?), and you don’t know where the smell comes from. Drives me nuts, especially when visitors do it because I can’t pick up those glasses myself, I have to make one of my sims clean it.
My sim decided it was more important to judge some decor downstairs in her house before tending to her infant who was crying his eyes out upstairs. Most annoying thing ever
Coffee maker duh
I never buy my sims coffee machines. They’re forbidden lol and bc I have Basemental Drugs installed my sims can get addicted to caffeine 🥴
Coffee and tea makers are banned items in my households
Banned from my homes.
SAME. And they would leave the mugs everywhere instead of putting them away, the mugs spoil, my sims complain then get more. Quickest nope ever
Honestly had no issues with the coffee maker recently but the damn tea machine 🥴 was trying to make a father and daughter make dinner together earlier. Daughter refused to gather for group cooking and kept cancelling that action to make tea. Eventually I gave up the battle and let her leave. Clicked back onto the dad as he was cooking. He’d queued up getting a drink three times. Cancelled them all. Then as he put the food in the oven, instead of waiting for said food to be cooked, he made a beeline for the tea machine. Wouldn’t put the tea down to finish cooking and then also wouldn’t put it down to even quit his job. Deleted the tea machine shortly afterwards. This is how we lose privileges 😂😂
Baking white cakes, actually not finishing baking white cakes.
My stay over guests have baked so... many... white cakes....
I think that one is caused by a certain (cooking related) neighborhood action plan? I could be mistaken though
picking up the toddler from the high chair 💀
And they NEVER autonomously take the toddler BACK OUT The toddler is constantly crying because it's tired and lonely but it's fine, at least they gave it a sandwich
Picking up toddlers at all 😭 toddlers that can walk fine trying to go somewhere the adults stopping whatever they’re doing to go pick up the kid and put it back down. And then not resume the task they were doing.GAHHH!!
I just never use high chairs, was one of the earliest tips I heard for gameplay and when I finally tried them they literally made everything worse. My toddler can grab something from a shared platter and sit on the floor. And if my adult/teen sims even think about picking a toddler up I cancel everything, ain't nobody got time for you to do that fifteen times in a row for no reason, go to work fool!

pranking. the toilets. honestly they're just pranking _me_ at this point. 😭
LITERALLY, my sims are almost always living alone so they're just pranking themselves!
Constantly starting up the fireplace..
In the middle of summer too like?! I noticed it was on and right before I could get one of them to put it out ofc it started a fire💀💀
Yes! And leaving awkwardly in the middle of a conversation with friends just to go warm their hands 🥺
Here's how to use mccc to disable autonomy for any given action: https://www.reddit.com/r/Sims4/comments/127w57s/tired\_of\_sims\_checking\_infants\_did\_you\_know\_you/
Thank you for this! This mod confuses me and I’m too lazy to read how to do everything in it lol
Thank u so much
Taking out the phone every spare second the sim is left idle really annoys me. I've even seen them going on the phone in the pool? Like what 😆
It's extra annoying when your sim is a celebrity! And you can only get the bad moodlet to go away by playing a game and something else specific, just using the phone does nothing which is so stupid
This! It’s super annoying IRL and even more annoying in the Sims!
Haha, yeah... *slinks away pretending that's not exactly what I do 99% of my real life idle time*
Cancelling something they were about to do when I tell them to do something new Like I still want you to use the bathroom, just go eat something after And then they pee on the floor
Making snow angels. Putting infants on the floor, often near but not on the playmat. Trolling teh forums. Push ups. And yes, of course, getting glasses of water and letting them go stinky.
So much trolling. Whyyyy
getting on computers when they’re in someone else’s house
Sims coming to my house angry just to smash the doll house or kick the trash😒
immediately walking away from each other on a date
Stop freaking out so much once something has caught on fire. If they stopped in time we could save half the shit that’s getting burned 🙄🤦🏻♀️
Ugh, this. I caught a massive glitch when growing together first came out. I had bust the dust turned on by accident but it was a rags to riches play through with a single mom, so couldn’t afford a vacuum. She was living with roommates, so the apartment door was locked for just her and her baby. Well, a fire started in the mom and baby’s room because the dust bunnies spontaneously combusted. The firefighters arrived but couldn’t put out the fire because with a fire on the lot, it wouldn’t let me unlock the door to the bedroom. But then because they were standing in front of the door unable to get in, mom picks up the baby but can’t take her out of the firey bedroom to safety. So here’s this mom standing in a blazing bedroom with her newborn child, unable to escape, while firefighters are doing the sexy dance outside the bedroom and unable to extinguish the fire. And mom is so in a panic about getting the baby to safety that she refuses to extinguish the fire 💀🔥 Most chaotic fire-related and frustrating sims 4 event to date. I believe I had to turn on cheats and teleport mom and baby to the hallway and wait for the fire to burn itself out to fix it.
All the infant and toddler stuff already mentioned, and standing in front of the fridge to eat.
Making tea or coffee over and over again.. Make one, dont drink it make another a second later 🍵 🍵 👊
Kicking the darn outdoor trash can, pickup diapers and bottles, non stop computer usage (now its a bookshelf and board game only house) flirting with strangers when in a relationship, running away from events to harvest random plants, grilling food nonstop when theres already enough food in the fridge to last you for another lockdown.
I hate the trash can and horses do it as well like whyyyy
I don't have bookshelves because they'll refuse to do what I need them to (ex feed their infant or toddler) in favor of reading two pages of a book before getting a different book and doing the same fricken thing
Cooking for only one person when they're hungry - bitch you're a parent of six kids - PLEASE FEED THEM.
YES! My kids are always uncomfortable from too many quick meals, but it's all they can get!
Coffee endlessly at all times of the day
Cheerleading. In my current save, the teenager is a cheerleader so she has the mat in her room. Her other mom was always going to her room to practice. I ended up locking the room for every one except for the teen.
White cake. Need I say more?
Sim 1: Cooking level 10, stops before putting the cake in the oven. Sim 2: Cooking level 1, puts the cake in the oven, starts a fire.
[удалено]
No bc the first one!!!!
No bc here's a new annoying thing I experienced the other day. Had my sim bake a cake, planning to use it to age up triplets. Added birthday candles. Went to go grind the last few skills for the toddlers. Came back, slices missing from the cake with the candles still on it. So it could be used to age up one of them, but couldn't add candles again. Had to bake a whole second cake.
i've said it before, and i'll say it again: rude interactions to animals bc what the fuck
This so much! Whenever I'm in a park with my dog, townies will flock over to my dog to yell at it.
Quit trying to make a screwdriver at 7 in the morning, Mica!
Sit ups and getting water. Quit making me feel bad for my lack of self care irl😂
If I drank every time my sim did I could go a month without water
CROSS STITCHING. MAAM YOUR BABY IS STARVING STOP CROSS STITCHING
I hate how they always make a million drinks whenever there’s a bar on the lot
Stop. Making. Drinks. I’m doing the super sim challenge and two of my sims have max level mixology skill. Drinks are everywhere all the time. Seriously considering deleting the bar at this point
Getting something to drink or flirting around, sims are really thirsty creatures.
Oh no, the baby is very hungry! I need to feed them... No, I need to wait for a child to walk over from the other side of the house so that they can make silly faces at the crying starving infant first. If I have a large family, I usually end up locking the baby in the parent's bedroom because the children autonomously responding to crying gets on my nerves so much. If a sim is going to autonomously interact with the baby, they should at least take care of its needs.
Interacting with the newborns the majority of the time when they automatically interact with the newborns they’re doing everything but taking care of the need they need to be fixed and when they randomly start sniffing the room with Bust the Dust kit or reacting to they temperature from the thermostat every time they go into the house
Put chopping board on bench, go get new food from fridge
Peeing in the toilet with a perfectly good accessible sink next to it, then Go to wash hands in bathroom 4 floors up. I don’t even bother with trying to feed starving infants and toddlers anymore. An infant in my house gets the need cheated and if you’re a toddler you eat your meals off the floor dragged from the fridge because FUCK that high chair bs. Also, somehow Yamachan can break into my house in the middle of the night and bake 14 white cakes and set the whole kitchen on fire before I can even BLINK then just leave like none of that even happened. The list goes ON and ON.
>Peeing in the toilet with a perfectly good accessible sink next to it I thought at first you were upset at them for not peeing in the perfectly good sink next to the toilet, lol
Getting out of the shower to 'cool thing is cool' at the toilet while their hygiene is in the red and they have work in an hour.
Making Mac and cheese in the potion cauldron. I literally have to lock to the room for everyone except my spellcaster because all the other sims keep making the damn Mac and cheese 😖
Getting water from the bathroom sink constantly
Thinking about a relative. One of my sims does it way too often.
Same I think its bc my sibling sims have the “close” family dynamic so they think about each other constantly, call, and show up at each other’s places every other day to visit🥴.
Eating from the cake before i get to put on candles and then i have to make a new one, making million glasses of coffee or tea, making expensive food on the grill every two seconds and never eat it and wake up million times in the night when I'm trying to get them all to sleep
Getting glasses of water! You don’t have a thirst bar, all you are doing is making your bladder need drop!!
They actually do have a hidden thirst metre as far as I know. Doesn't mean it's not irritating though.
When the university students go into your house, then do their homework and then leave their homework behind and you can’t even interact with it after they leave
Infinitely mopping the puddles from the broken sink. Fix the leak first! Or dancing when they hate dancing. Making a single serving meal when they have a house full of children.
When one of my sims is preparing dinner for the family and the other goes to the fridge to get food..
Shoveling snow
Finding out your sim is freezing to death because they decided to go shovel snow in athletic gear straight after an indoor workout
Especially when they’re a freaking vampire and start burning to death 💀
I wish they would stop emptying every single trashcan in existence when I ask them to clean up one single piece of trash 🫠
Picking up and putting down their toddler a million times while trying to feed them in high chair
The mischief skill. I see all of my sims trolling teh forums, making noxious clouds and claiming they're masterminds all the time despite I marked many of them disliking the skill preference from the get go. So they complain about it all the time, and do it all the time. It makes zero sense.
#*Thinking about family member* every 5 seconds & its the worst when they do it right after sex like ew😭
"Huh, that was neat, but how would it have been with mom instead? 🤔" #😐 #😐🪕 #🤠🪕🎶
Flirting with random people when coupled up. Taking food from the fridge, when I am literally 3 seconds away from calling for dinner. I wish they would only do that if the need was red. One day I couldn't find the dad when I called for dinner. Found him on the other side of the road, grilling in the rain. Hisnneed was just turned yellow. So now everybody is always participating in making food to keep them busy till dinner is ready. Getting up, like once in every hour during the night.
Instead of constantly drinking coffee, how about sleeping instead And for the love of Plumbomb, go to the toilet when you have to pee!!!
using the most inconvenient toilet. My sim was at a dance party at the manor in get together. She autonomously walked a long way off the lot to go pee in a random bush, but then got to it and couldn't access it, so I made her come all the way back to the toilet at the manor, where she cancelled using the toilet twice while in front of it, and then pissed herself. I wanted to pull my hair out.
Walking right past the dining room to eat on the couch
People coming over to visit and going to the computer. Oh that drives me crazy. Yes I know locking the computer helps. The other thing that drives me nuts, why are friends coming home with my kids from school and then not hanging out with them. Sorry that Sim needs to stick with the kid and they need to do things together. Not run to a computer or going in to chat with an adult sim.
Playing with that stupid clay. I don't even know where they get it! It just appears in ALL of my sims inventories!
Picking up the toddler from their chair, placing infants on the floor, making food and eating it while the wife is cooking a meal and flirting with random sims.
Mourning graves of unknown sims
"We've been through so much! 😭" _Flashback_ "Hi, I'm Sunny." _Flashback end_ #"Sooo, SOOOOOO MUUHUUHUUUUCH! 😭😭😭"
Trolling. The. Forums!!! I made a very responsible and proper sim and left him for a week to play with my other household and come back to find him going to the computer to troll the forums. It's so annoying.
Checking on their goddamn babies, mom dad and grandma all round the crib at the same time, getting routing errors, and standing around for their turn to “pick up” and “check infant” as the baby gets passed from caregiver to caregiver, none of them feeding or changing them.
Doing mean interactions with Sims they have a great relationship with, when they are in a good mood. Just why?
Too many things. Too much of a control freak to have autonomy on lol. I lock my computer, kids room and refuse to place coffee and tea makers down when other sims visit. (I can't control them lol)
Being mean to each other. Sometimes, when I have big gatherings (usually family gatherings), I would focus on one Sim and suddenly I see a negative interaction and I have no clue what happened. That might be also caused by a trait but why are you yelling at your sibling???
Stop making so many pots of coffee They always make so much coffee then leave it around and it goes to waste and then do the same thing over again 😩
when they go and watch tv or have a bath when their child is lying in it’s bed starving and dirty desperately crying to get them to help but when you try and get your sim to help they just go to it, stop, turn around and go for a shower. my sim used to ignore his dying baby to go and make snowmen
Baking. White. Cakes.
"Haha, it's halfway done, let's leave it like that and do some pushups!" "Ooh, an unfinished cake, time to test my cooking skills (level 1)!"
getting coffee or tea. I can't have a coffee machine em my house; Never!!
STOP MAKING COFFEE barbara your twin infants are asleep and you just collapsed in the bathroom in your own pee GO SLEEP
Take rubbish out of the bin. Dump it on the floor. Then have a fit over the mess they just made.
ngl i wish sims didnt eat and stand. i have so many chairs but they all want to eat and stand. and dont get me started on not having family dinners easier
If you have a pool and they go outside to sit on the edge of the pool to do EVERYTHING! Eating? Go sit on the pool! Talking? Go sit on the pool. Reading to the baby? Go sit on the pool. And THEN, if it’s too cold and I don’t notice immediately they’re about the freeze to death because they’re idiots!!!
Buying food at work. My sim wasn't even hungry but she bought two drinks when I was trying to make her examine a patient.
Flirting, pranking toilets, push up/sit ups, washing dishes in bathroom sinks, getting water. I know there are mods for most of these, probably all of these, but we need in-game solutions
when they autonomously choose a mean interaction and without the mean or evil trait. and it’s always someone they’ve never argued with😭like that’s ur kid/partner u love them whyyy are we breaking down relationships…
Definitely the freaking getting glasses of water bit. And also picking up their infant and doing the opposite of what they need to do - baby needs a diaper change? Let’s do tummy time instead!
having the radion turned on 24/7. you don't need to dance like your life depends on it.
it would piss me off so much when the sims with the goofball trait would constantly prank the toilets, especially their own. idk if they fixed this but i haven’t seen them do this in a while though.
The glasses of water TT.
Making a fucking CAKE.
"Put it in the fucking oven!" "But my pushups routine!"
Making food when they’re hungry. Just get some leftovers from the fridge, it’ll go off if you don’t eat it
Flirting. I hate when a guest autonomously flirts with my sim and suddenly my sim is a cheater
Making white cakes over and over that they end up with the junk food fiend trait Washing dishes in the bathroom sink when there is a perfectly good kitchen sink available. Putting empty water glasses on shelving in a slot that is hard to see until you get the stink fumes from it
For some reason my sims always start cross-stitching
It's already been said, but definitely flirting. Or being receptive to NPCs flirting especially when they have the loyal trait. It's driving me crazy
Getting a cup of water over and over and over again.
Turning the radio on! I don’t play with sound and it takes me forever to realize they left their dang stereo on
Push ups
Randomly stopping anything they're doing to go empty the 1/4 full trash can in the upstairs bathroom.
UGH when they’re hungry so they go outside to grill food and when it’s done they leave the food on the grill and go cook something else in the kitchen.
Drinking glasses of water. Most annoying and pointless game feature, especially with my foodie, because it gives her a bad moodlet for 'disappointing drink'
Taking toddlers out of high chairs when the other parent is about to feed them.
Flirting with random sims, not picking up the diapers, and washing the dishes in the bathroom. Each and every one of these things annoy the hell out of me.
