[OPEN] Sims who Dislike Mischief Autonomously do Mischief

Same with dancing. It is just painful to watch. A mischief interaction is at least short. I have played with a household where the music was almost always on, and one of the sims disliked dancing. As you might guess, every minute that I was not playing him he would rush to the radio and engage in dancing, growling in anger, his fun dropping rapidly. I hope it gets fixed.

Being burned out of micro-managing my Sims--which I did often in Sims 3--I like to give my Sims free reign with me only intervening if someone is stuck due to a glitch or routing error or choosing to travel somewhere. Basically anything outside my Sims "control" and picking their traits, likes and dislikes. Especially since the whole mood system is severely broken. I've found that they like or dislike activities based on their mood at the time of doing them. So if you let a Sim's bladder tank while painting, they're going to hate painting.

My Sim is a snobbish Sim who has little time and patience for Mischief. You know, one of those stereotypical old guy that keeps shouting at kids to get off his lawn. Anyway, he seems to be obsessed with the computer. Specifically Trolling the Forums. I don't mind him auto-using the computer to browse web, practice writing, or whatever. But he shouldn't being Trolling the Forums. It's like seeing a lazy slob Sim obsessively cleaning the house. Or someone who hates fitness obsessively doing fitness related things.

I'm not expecting an immediate fix. It's EA after all and I have zero faith or confidence in them with just about everything at this point. Just an annoyance that I have to play babysitter to certain objects and to put it on record..And what's a pity, I'll probably have to find a Mod for it. And I shouldn't for a AAA game that's worth about $1000 if you pay full price for everything.

Could anyone experiencing this issue possibly share a save file where you've seen it occur? You can DM me the link to your save, thanks so much!

My sim is obsessed with Trolling the forums even though he dislikes it (using the like/dislike function). He does it autonomously the moment he doesn't have anything to do. I've tried reducing his level in mischief as much as I can but to no avail. I assume that as long as it's in his skill list that he will keep doing it.

Is there anything I can do to stop him? Because it's annoying and I don't like playing with mischievous sims.

With discover university installed, there's also sims who constantly prank the toilet despite them not liking mischief. It can get annoying when I have to fix and clean a toilet constantly because my sims who is supposed to dislike mischief still likes to prank the toilets. Then there's the alien mind wipe that still happens despite them supposedly not liking mischief.

I hate the autonomous mischief with a passion. I hate all of mischief in the game in general, but that's a different story. I set all of my sims to dislike mischief because I'm so fed up with it. Goofball became completely unplayable because they will not stop pranking every toilet in sight - even their own. And you can't even unprank it, which would have made perfect sense for a handy sim to be able to do. Even sims who are not goofballs, are not even in a  playful mood and dislike mischief will constantly troll the forums. Some of my sims put prank gifts under the christmas tree, which resulted in their kids being sad because they got bad gifts, then the parents got sad from shared sadness, ruining the whole day for everyone. Not to mention, the sims are miserable the whole time they are doing it, while still doing it. And I'm even scared to play with any aliens at this point after learning about their memory wipe prank. It's way past mildly annoying, it's VERY annoying. If they can't fix that, they should at least give us a toggle to turn off autonomous pranking in general. Please.

As a side note, and a bit OT, why did goofball sims all become pranksters? I know they wanted to make the trait actually do something, but every single mischief interaction in the game is just a d**k move imo. Instead, goofballs could be making jokes, telling funny stories, making people laugh, the positive things. And if they're also mean, then go ham with the mischief, it fits right in. But them just making every goofball into an obsessive prankster has made my game experience a lot worse.

I agree and it can be really bad for couples as well. but it would be nice if they had a no mischief option sense I know most people do not like that for their sims.

I notice my sims have been doing this a lot, especially I notice my sims is constantly at the computer and want to troll the forms. Even when they don't even have that trait, which seems a bit annoying like even if you don't even have that trait of having the goofball my sims will still get on the computer and want to troll. Even when I do have my sims have that trait, they still do the forms by being on the computer along with wanting to prank the toilet and one of my sims would do it so much that even the echo lifestyle would cost my bill to be so high by saying I'm using too much water if you have the plan of that so it's costing my sims money along with having to constantly fix the toilet and repair along with mopping the floor, and once I get it clean they do it again and it becomes annoying. If I wanted my sims to do all that I can just do that myself but in the game it seems there is no limits, or a break from this issue.
