But that is exactly what it is. It was never on this scale. If I find the patience, I can take screenshots the days what happens when I visit a lot. Because these are not the only bugs that make the game uncomfortable. As I said, the last thing before I closed the game and wrote here was: When I arrived, 5 sim faces ploped into my queque, which were elsewhere on the lot and fought their way to me. It took a long time to stop this. Then I wanted to sit down and order.

Plop, Plop, Plop, again people wanted to talk to me even though they were at the end of the plot and thus interrupted my order. When I finally made the order, I started drawing because I didn't want to talk to anybody, because my SIm was already SUPER tense.

PLOP PLOP PLOP PLOP Excuse me, may we 4 Random Sims, INTERRUPT you and talk to you?

If your game has always looked like this, you must have nuts of steel ...

@Rhysparadox--first of all let me say your last sentence made me laugh.

yes they have always interrupted (meals, ordering drinks, random conversations, you name it) even Sims who weren't nearby, like you say elsewhere on the lot and will walk up to yours. seems like NPCs don't always choose to do other things available on the lot and always prioritise conversation. it helps a little if there's, say, a TV on a pub, that will distract some of them and you might not see as many queued up conversation bubbles.

another example is, you go to the library. you'd expect them to stick to reading/using the computers. instead they gather and chat, often try to drag your Sim into the conversation.

can it be improved? definitely! like we can 'send home' when someone visits, it would be useful to have something like 'stop talking' to remove the unwanted Sim from the conversation. might even be a welcome interaction for Loner Sims. 🙂

    @unseenlarks there's an option under Friendly called Goodbye that ejects that unwanted sim from the conversation.

    @simvasion--i've never seen that option when the Sim in question is yet unknown, only the possible ways there are to introduce oneself.
