Okay why aren't Sims smart?
No like seriously do they really have to be stupid? The sheer.... dumbness of the Sims AI or whatever it is that's controlling them is astounding. They have to pee, instead of doing so, they run out...

I asked ChatGPT why Sims aren't smart and it actual gave me a legit answer: Because if they were smart there would be no reason to play. Think about it, if Sims were smart enough to take care of their needs and take care of themselves efficiently, then our role as the player becomes invalid. That actually makes sense. So the lights being on but no one being home is exactly how EA designed the Sims.
Also something about costing more for smarter AI. I don't know what means but yeah.
Also they are just silly and chaotic. If they were smarter then all that silliness and chaos would be reduced or go away completely, and I personally wouldn't like that. Now while it would be nice to reduce some of the autonomous actions like them putting plates on half walls and the pets not being so needy, it really is a chaotic and funny game simply because the Sims AREN'T smart.
