Toggle option for umbrella

I just wish the sims team would make a toggle on/off for umbrella... I find it so annoying... it causes:

-routing issues

-slow reactions because of the animations, placement etc... open/close, reopen/close etc... never ending mess when you tried to do anything outside while its raining or while its sunny for vampires

-the options to put the umbrella back into the rack does not stick to sims... as soon as you quit the lot and play as another family the game does not remember your choice for each sims and when you see those sims in situation where they would normally use an umbrella, well they used one, instead of respecting the choice you made before. My vampires option to opt out of umbrella is reinitialized to have one... which I HATE, because the look of umbrella un bright sunlight is awful, they are all pixelated purple/green on whats supposed to be black...

-they causes sims to reset... while trying to naviguate, iddle animations, requested animations by the players and reaction to the world and open/close, routing issue... this is pure mess.

I JUST want the option to play with rain and thunderstorm without umbrellas... I play without mods and I am almost tempted now to start using the umbrella disabler... because it drives me nuts! Its like the NAP feature, but at least you can turn that one off...

Please EA, in a quality of life upgrade, just make the umbrella optional in game... I still want rain and thunderstorm, those are great! NOT THE UMBRELLA!!

    A solution could be to handle umbrellas like [RoM] wands: they become a personal inventory item that you can toggle ON/OFF by clicking and then choosing either "Always use an Umbrella" or "Never use an Umbrella".

    When your Sim puts away the umbrella in the stand, the item disappears from your personal inventory.

    Hope this change gets updated in the game.
