Sims 3 logic vs real life

Oh, it's calories all right. And sugars. And almost nothing else your body needs to keep it's self going.

Here's another one I just remembered: Terrified of all things supernatural (seriously, saw a Fairy sim and ran screaming), dreams of working in the cemetary and having Bonehilda do all the house work.

It was forking hilarious. The sim was a coward with an extreme aversion to the supernatural, and literally would run screaming if she saw a fairy sim. Yet got the Wishes to buy a Bonehilda coffin and get a part time job at the cemetery. She once missed a shift at work because she got to work and saw a ghost before entering the rabbit hole, so ran home (which was a decent distance away). And I do mean 'ran' home. Then saw Bonehilda upon getting home, so turned around and ran back to the cemetery. Rinse and repeat for the entire 3 hour work shift. By which point the poor sim had gotten two skill levels in Athletics from running back and forth between work and home repeatedly.

EDIT: Regarding needing cooking skill 2 to make a PB&J sandwich... I just had a sim flub making one, and start a fire in the process. O.o What the plumb was that sim doing?!

Learning bass(cello) is as easy as drums
As long as skills level is enough, good along with coworkers, have good moods, get slack at work everyday still can promote(TS4 is better than TS3 in this)

That sounds like a fun storyline. But the only way I know of that a sim can gain Athletic skill from walking/running to get to (or away from) someplace is if they were working out, jogging, or swimming (playing soccer, etc.) prior in the game session and their skill gain progress got stuck in forward gear. Running across the world map back and forth without actually jogging isn't supposed to do that.

Now that takes talent (of a different kind). I've seen sims mess up simple to make recipes that do not require cooking and the food ends up being of poor or horrifying quality, but I had no idea they could set things on fire that way. You sure it wasn't a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich (Showtime, Level 5 cooking) or there wasn't a lit fireplace nearby that was the culprit? Or an annoyed sim in the household with magical skills who did NOT want peanut butter and jelly for dinner AGAIN so they set the dish (and maybe the sim) on fire?

I'm going back to my ice cream argument. Almost half the problems society faces today began early in our evolution when we started cooking our food before eating it. :p

While I have Showtime, it was disabled. Don't even have the deep fry cooker in the household. And what sort of raging lunatic puts a fireplace on a boat?! Certainly not the prefurnished houseboats in IP.

No idea how Ranko set fire to a PB&J sandwich that isn't even being made close to the stove. I'd added a couple more counter tops, and she'd chosen to make it as far away from the stove as possible. Then again she'd earlier (at 0 skill) caused a fire when trying to make waffles. But put it out fast enough that the stove wasn't damaged. The current stove has since been upgraded to be Fireproof to hopfully prevent future pyroclastic events of a food nature.

That said, she was outside fishing when a thunderstorm rolled in unexpectedly (the forcast said sunny all week). Got struck by lightning. It's raining cats and dogs (meow). And Ranko felt the need to run inside and jump into the shower to put out the fire burning on her rear end... that was already out before she even got half way around the houseboat due to the pouring rain.

Decides to cook something to eat, is completely unable to cook a breakfast food if it's 11:00am or 'lunch' dish if it's 3pm or later. But can cook a desert anytime they want if they have the right stove.

That's why I like the "cook any meal at any time" mod I have. I think its at simsasylum. Registration is required to see the mods there.

When my sim makes gourmet pet food for his dog, he always makes sure it's good by tasting it himself (the cooking animation).

A genie can conjure up gourmet pet food, but can't feed it to their pets.

It is impossible to leave a double bed other than on the side you climbed in. Rolling over to the other side or crawling out anywhere else is out of the question. If something is blocking your path (other people, pets, books), you have to stay in bed until they are gone, or you died from starvation. On or the other.

(I never buy my sims washing machines, if I can avoid it. I had a weird bug at some point, which caused clothes piles to appear, without a washing machine or a laundromat anywhere in sight. Couldn´t find out a solution at that point, so that family now have their machine. Perhaps reseting the lot with Nraas mc would have worked).

Did they have a sculpting station? If someone in the household sculpts a laundry basket the piles of dirty laundry start appearing even if the baakef stays on the sculpting station.

Yeah, I figured that out only recently (it was in another thread here somewhere). My founder took up sculpting in her old age.

This is the hamper in question. It´s still in the house 10 generations later, as is the toilet and sink she made. I sold the highchair she made out of ice.

Speaking of... if you just do ice sculpting often enough (a chainsaw in your living room is totally save) you can make wonderful things out of ice and it will never melt!
