Sims 3 Game Logic can be quite confusing at times from the routing issues to Sims staring at fridges for twenty minutes before figuring out what to eat (hey, it happens in real life too as you get older). Post some of your amusing situations.

Mine: River got tired of Morgana calling her husband out "for a date" which he refuses...and went over. Presumably the conversation went like this.

River: I'd appreciate you not calling my husband up everytime you feel lonely. It's not my problem that you married a loser like Thornton.
Morgana: Well, I can call your husband any time I want... It's a free country.
River sees red and knocks Morgana out...and promptly receives a telephone call from the police department (to teach a class on "NEGOTIATION").

O...kay... Well...that works for me. :D :mrgreen:

Sounds like a solid negotiation tactic to me....


Hmm... how about this one, the first time I played a couple in a game, the husband was cooking one day & a fire started. The daredevil wife gets it put out just as the fireman gets there. What's her imediate wish after the fire?
"Be in a fire" Really? You were just in one!
I took out the ruined stove but didn't replace it. They made due with a microwave until the husband's handiness was enough to fireproof a new stove.

My teen female sim was looking for a relationship. I'd just discovered the 'Observant' happiness reward and all her friends (schoolmates) had lousy traits (I know, I can change them with personality programming). Then she chatted up her best friends brother (15 days older) who had great traits, and a girlfriend. She became best friends with him anyway, then turned on the romance one evening. The "ask to leave ---" came up and I added it to the queue. Before she asked him, he said he was tired and left (it was only 9pm). The next time she asked him out she slapped him for cheating. It took forever to get that relationship back on track (she became a professional mystery author and had to slum it writing a sci-fi book "Murder In Space" as an opportunity) Then she had to befriend and romance him all over again.

My pregnant sim had just gotten done cleaning the toilet when she needed to throw up. Despite standing in the bathroom in front of a toilet she had to run all the way across the house to a different bathroom to throw up in. It was extra funny because she is a neat sim so it felt very much like her train of thought was "Oh no...I *just* cleaned this toilet no way am I making it dirty right away."

Divorce is really easy in Sims 3.

When he cheats on you ... You can just pause, then move him and the kids into the girlfriends house.
Then go to the relationship trans(whatever) in your phone and change your marital status with the bum.

Plus ... You get to keep most of the money ... :p

Little boy meets little girl at school, they become acquaintances. She ages up, but the keep meeting and become friends. He ages up and they become best friends. She ages up and they are going steady. He finally becomes a young adult and proposes. He invites her out on a date to get married and she is a senior. WHAT???!!!! He married her anyway and she took a trip to nraas City Hall for revision.

Why do kids, while on the way home (over the bridge in Bridgeport) stop just short of the bridge and follow the most unfortunate adult. The adult was on a rock hunt, including a vampires eye at the cemetery and a pink diamond at the mine with a half dozen other gathers that I wasn't in the mood to re-queue. The kid didn't get to bed till dawn on a school night. They would have been in bed at a decent time if they just went home in the first place. :(

An Interesting Glitch
I'm playing an overstuffed house. The nursery is empty so it's time for another baby. My couples start to "Try For Baby". There was vomiting and achy backs etc, but NO babies. I upped the attempts, with more couples. More pregnancy indicators, but still no confirmed pregnancies. I finally gave up, shut the game down and went to bed. Next time, without trying, confirmed pregnancies (3 so far), and pregnancy indicators (2 more). It's like the pregnancies went into a holding pattern.

It ended up being 5 babies in 2 days. The first one came to the birthday cake directly from the hospital to get a head start on toddler training. The second one was aged up one day early. The other three aged up to toddler on their own. I graduated them to child every other day to separate the birthdays, skipping the xylophone and pegbox for the first ones.

Speaking of baby problems. I had a half-alien young adult living with her mother. She had a steady boyfriend (werewolf) who lived in a different household, and I didn't really want to move him in. So they tried for baby a couple times, but nothing happened. She had enough LTR points so I bought fertility treatment and tried again. Bingo. Then 3 days later, out pop triplets! Gah! That's too much for 2 people, so I tried to ask the father to move in with them. "Oh no" he says "I'm not moving into that madhouse!"

And the three girls were one with full alien powers, one that was kind of half-alien/half werewolf and one that was a werewolf.

One of my Sims had his High School Graduation ceremony RIGHT after he got back from his first time of college. So he got his college degree, got a job and then "graduated" from high school the following day.
