Re: [ARCHIVED] Goofballs obsessed with mischief and etc...

Yes, it seems that since the patch my Goofballs are constantly being mischievous and pranking toilets. I expected a little bit of tuning to the traits but this is excessive and makes playing Goofballs unenjoyable for me. They watch the comedy channel more, but they seem to lean heavily on mischief interactions when talking to other sims.

    The problem is, is that it’s not tuned at all and it’s 99.9% of it is mischievous. Maybe one friendly interaction here and there. Idk why people accept obsessive behavior.

    Yes that's the problem I'm having too, it's pretty much all my Goofballs are doing now.  Most of their socials are mischievous interactions and it's excessive.  I think it's been tuned too high and could use some adjusting .Make it less frequent than it is now.

    Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

    My sims are now peeing themselves because the toilet is always broken and dirty.

    Yes, goofballs being goofballs is one thing, but CONSTANTLY pranking the ONLY AVAILABLE TOILET is unacceptable, even for goofball trait. Come on, EA fix it!

  • I agree- there are excessive toilet pranks with goofballs now!! Not to be uptight, but its never funny!!! Whenever I catch the prank being done in the act I make sure to make that sim use that toilet lol. Jokes on you! All... over you... gross.

    I agree, I don't think this was the case until the recent trait revamps. I appreciate the trait revamps, but I'd think goofballs would be more inclined to funny interactions rather than straight up toilet ruining pranks. I think I'd maybe even be okay if there were still a decent amount of mischief interactions just waaaaay less autonomous toilet pranks. Honestly a good amount of toilet pranks is ZERO.

    But whatever- I guess it causes the player mischief too.

    My sim pranks the toilet almost every time he sees one and I don't have him assigned to do something. Totally annoying. Don't mind some, but every time?
