Sorry if I missed the joke but I belive @MineWars intention was sim-hours, and it is not so logical to let go the Emperor of evil after a few hours. Having said that, I think in real life it can happen too, they put some high profile criminal mafia guy in custady for a few days and then letting him go because there is not enough evidence for a trial. What the sims reality really lacks is the judicial system, speaking of sims logic

It was not a joke (that part wasn't, anyway).

Humans tend to live for over 30,000 days. Sims tend to live for 90, maybe 180 or 360 sim days, depending on how the player has arranged their game. Even with a life span of 1,000 sim days, one sim day is a much higher percentage of a sim's life than a day in the life of a human is, therefore one sim hour is a much higher percentage of a sim's life than an hour is to us as well.

I did go on to agree that although a few sim hours behind bars is therefore the equivalent of much more than it seems, it's not enough to be an appropriate consequence for serious crimes or the evil emperor thing. It feels more like the equivalent of a Time Out that a teen would get for talking back to their parents. :)

Oh I'm sorry apparently I didn't understand to the end earlier (written language + language barrier).
I view the sim days as a sample of days from their life. Sort of a collection of their more interesting days (of course, this is relative too and depends on sim's lifespan). But per day- I feel like it is more or less representing real life time proportions. Half a day at school, a few hours on a date, 8 hours sleeping etc... and all the routine days that are basically the same- just not included in the sample. (In real life a routine day could contain a "special" event as "the elevator did not work today", but the sims just don't get into these resolution of events...)

In TS3, not only can you travel the world for just a few hundred simoleons, many have of us have seen that you can take your personal vehicle on the plane (?) with you, navigating it into a remote valley apparently accessible only by dirt paths too narrow even for bicycles.

But what happens when you're a sergeant, and your personal vehicle is a police cruiser? And when you drive said police cruiser to the Forbidden City to do a little light shopping? (Or maybe raid a tomb conduct a thorough search for evidence of valuable artifacts criminal activity. Of course it's my jurisdiction. Shut up. Yes, I definitely have a warrant, and no, you can't see it. You ask too many questions.)

Apparently, not only do the locals accept this blatant disregard of any semblance of boundaries, but the regional authorities have also declined to raise any objection. Really.

Whenever you visit a neighbors house if you dare open their fridge, you're being inappropriate, plz leave don't touch my leftovers, but if a sim comes to MY house they can just climb right in my bed when they get tired.

Talk about hypocrites. This just happened to me twice yesterday. One sim invited himself to my house and the game even made a point to send me a notification saying something like "Don't mind if I slip in, hope I won't be a bother, if this isn't a convenient time for you, it won't bother me". Then he went into my bed and slept.

I would love to keep a car in my inventory. I wouldn't have to spend a long time looking for parking spaces or paying criminal amounts of money to park a car.

When the wish to buy a washer or dryer comes up for one of your sims, just say "NO!" If there's no washer/dryer there won't be any dirty clothes. Your sims will just twirl into their outfits without leaving a pile of dirty clothes behind. However, don't know if a Laundromat in your town causes piles of clothes to appear for your sims or not, since I don't use that community building.

@pax1sw Now you sound like my brother. He refused to put a washing machine in his sim house. Maybe it's not a bad idea... but it will never work in real life. :)

What you want to do, is build a laundromat somewhere in town. Then you can go there, and pull some dirty clothes out of, where ever sims keep stuff, and get the clean clothes moodlets for a week or two w/o having piles of dirty laundry all around the house.

I like how the quality of the bed you purchase restores your energy faster, thus requiring less sleep. On the flipside, napping on the couch restores your energy quite slowly.

If only I can find an efficient bed in real life, I could get more stuff done.

I think the way the traits work, defy logic sometimes.

For example, my sim child with the "shy" trait has a twin sister who is social butterfly ++. Of the two, who is the first to bring a friend home? AND to visit a friend? Yes, the shy kid. Even though she gets the "uncomfortable"-moodlet.

When your sims is friendly as trait and has a grumpy face thinking of getting friends. xD
When your sims improve a shower for a friend and he has a grumpy face suddently at you when you tell him. Then he tells you hello and after he is grumpy again.
The hot-headed sims are often grumpy. :(

other logic from pets.

When you are a one star celebrity because a friend of the sims you play is a one star celebrity (contagion effect by the way) and your dog is nice not aggressive he starts to be aggressive with the mailman/postman before he didn't care of him. I don't know why lol.

Celebrity is an illness you catch it by contagion. xD As if you speak to any celebrity you meet you become a celeb in your turn ahahahah.

Your cell phone never runs out of battery and you have excellent reception everywhere.
