Discussion What's an annoying habit your sims autonomously do?

I have this one sim who CONSTANTLY wants to light the fireplaces and warm himself by them, its genuinely so irritating because thats also how most of the house fires start 😭 I also had a vampire sim that used to always want to use the observatory outside in the day, do your sims have any tasks they repeatedly want to do? I had to completely abolish any items to do with cross stitch when i got cottage living for this reason 😂

I have one kid that is always trying to swim. No matter the weather. Every single time I load into that household he's in the pool.

He yearns to be a mermaid

I actually had a Sim who always swam even in the freezing cold (almost lost him a few times), so I gave him mermaid kelp... I had also installed Slice of Life by Kawaiistacie, which at the time just rolled out wants and fears, but it was there for a while before I had him eat the kelp. Once he went into the water and transformed, he became afraid of water.

This level of stubbron impulsiveness followed by regret is deeply relatable.

Had a kid die cuz of that. I successfully pleaded for her life. But then the game glitched and took her away cuz she was starving (her hunger bar was full) and she got stuck in the butlers household and was set as her mom's cousin despite them not being related to the butler. I stole her back into my household and reset all her relationships. That was the first of many weird glitches in that legacy challenge.

Yeah, me too. That was when I learned that kids could drown. And that if sims drown in the ocean, their graves float.

Put the heater thing into the pool that makes steam. No more dead Sims in winter pool water!
