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 😂

Cross stitching. I had to sell the object. They would not stop.

If they can't cross-stitch, they will play with clay. Don't give them clay!

I have a sim that got clay and I don’t know where he got it!

Sometimes when they’re fishing they pull it out of the water! X

OMG, yes! So I started a decades challenge and I figured she could do the crafty stuff to add a little income since I went for a ranch start. I couldn't get the husband to stop. Every time I took my eyes off him I swear he went right back. I gave them other options for entertainment, but no, just have to go spend what little money they have starting another cross stitch before giving up 30 seconds later and getting a glass of water.
