I have no idea why that is, I see it mentioned a lot but I don't recognize it. In my game sims are constantly finding each other to have conversations. Just not compulsory, canceling other actions. I dislike most of the cc hairstyles there are out there, so like I said that's probably personal preference. This is the only CC haircut in my game I couldn't resist ;)

Some of the clothes and hairs in the game
are hideous by the way, that's not just you :# But there are also lots of clothes and hairs that are acceptable to good and on top of that there's always CASt to save the day.
(some dislike the clay hair in 4 by the way; I don't, I like that style myself)
