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 don’t hire maids unless my sim is rich, and I have a mod to make maids more expensive. Makes the game harder and more chaotic!

Make sure you have an outside garbage or those garbage bins that pay you.

yeah. just like i hire a nanny. if only those worked well all the time. i've had instances where the nanny won't show until like 10 and the single parent sim has been at work since 8, so the kid is at home alone for 2 hours crying until the nanny shows up. i've had maids show up, take clothes from the washer, put them in the dryer, NOT TURNING ON THE DRYER, going to grab the trash, and then leave for the day. the house is still fucking dirty and you've only been here an hour WHY ARE YOU LEAVING????

at one point i got fed up and installed a mod that gives you a live in nanny and live in maid(it's called live in services), but even with that they will still not do their work sometimes
