Absolute Worst Thing?

Monster for sure lol. But i think what annoys me most is the music that plays when something happens? I don't know if its the mood change or an aspiration success or what it is but I just know it bothers me. A lot. Thank you for letting me get that off my chest. <3

People calling on the phone and inviting my sim places. I can't stand it, I wish it didn't happen, its so annoying. I never accept invites and I wish there was a way to turn the phone and not even use it in my game.

Thunderstorms. Why is every sim afraid of them by default? It’s silly and annoying.

A close second place would be musical chairs, sims walking away mid-conversation and any other nonsensical antisocial behaviour exhibited by the AI.

text messaging

Oh my gosh and the constant phone calls. I so wish we had to buy a cellphone or at least could turn it off completely. Not just the sound as the popups are just as annoying.

“Hey Bob, wanna come over and hang out at my place?”

“Sure.”

*arrives to find no one home*

GRRR...

Sims washing dishes in the bathroom

Oh. I could make a list. But I'll keep it to just a few things.

First, the autonomous drinking of water. This action is nonsense, serves no purpose, no gameplay, and only takes up time and clutters the house (and inventories) with empty glasses. Even my Vampires drink water so I removed all of the sinks. It's a useless action and I want to strangle someone every time it happens in my game.

Second, the endless and insanity-inducing spamming of texts from strangers with the inability to completely turn off the phone. Why do we even have a "silence phone" option if it won't ignore all of those invasive popups? I also hate autonomous phone use. Just another reason for Sims to ignore each other.

Third, but most important - and this is a huge one- the emotion system. Why, why, oh why did they stray from the original Sims formula to favor emotions over the individuality and given traits of each Sim? I just... I can't. I will never understand this choice. This one bad decision managed to completely disrupt the integrity of the game and remains one of the main reasons for continuing controversy. RIP personalities.

Lol, is that a feature or a bug? Maybe those scallywag developers have a warped sense of humour.

@Bluegayle I'm pretty sure there is a tick box option in the game settings but it is so long ago I can't remember. If nobody else pops in with an answer I will have a look next time I go in game.

Yes, the phone calls. They call when your sim is near exhaustion and can't go and then they get mad about it. The musical chair thing is so rude, even more so when the target sim wanders off when your sim is trying to chat them up. ;)
