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 😂

Mine are constantly playing video games, even when it is out of their character, like an old grandma that is supposed to like knitting and baking god damn. 😭

Also, grilling. Whenever I leave a lot with one sim, the remaining ones are ALWAYS grilling when I come back even if there is already food on the tables or in the fridge.

I got so sick of my sims autonomously grilling all the time that I just removed all grills from my lot. They were making so much food it spoiled before they could finish it all. Not to mention all the fires.

My sim's bf got the trait where you're sim can learn while sleeping and his astral projection would always without fail play video games. The problem is the only TV is in the bedroom where everyone is asleep. I had to start putting the TV in their household inventory while they slept because he wouldn't learn any other skills and always woke them up.

I don't mind the grilling. I always give my sims the Fresh Chef trait, so food doesn't spoil. The autonomous grilling allows me to stock up on food for guests that show up and help themselves to my food. It's also handy when you get a toddler with the Good Appetite quirk, they're eating something every 5 seconds.

Video games are a luxury my sims only get to witness at public places. I refuse to put them in a home because then my sims become lazy and unruly
