Animation you don't like in game?

Everything people have listed so far....I actually like. I find them fun. Passionate kiss, flirting, the pee walk...I like them all. I like the light heartedness of the game

However...

Even a die hard Sims 4 fan like myself has a few bugbears. I like a lot of goofy stuff in the game but, ironically, I don't like the goofy walk. I don't think it suits anyone. I also don't like how female Sims sit like male ones, with knees apart. If they can get feminine standing and walking poses and actions, they can try to put feminine sitting actions as well.

I so agree re the female sitting! At least having "Good manners" should make a difference. I have to close my eyes whenever I play my high nobility and the duchess sits like a working commoner...

When they wake up needing to pee and instead of just getting on with it they sit on the bed and wave their arms at me.

I dislike nearly all of them because are way too silly and over the top.

Many animations because they tend to be cartoony and childish. Couldn't they have recycled the animations from Sims 2 and Sims 3?

Following up on this, why can’t sims relationships be impacted by their conversations? And not just positively. For instance why can’t sims have arguments? The mischief interactions don’t count.

I remember that it wasn't as easy to get along with another sim in Sims 3, there'd be friendly/neutral interactions not every sim would like, especially if it didn't match their interests and they would notice when you spam the same interaction and dislike you for it.
It def felt more realistic to me.
There are mean interactions but it's not the same.

Idle animations. Why can't a sims just eat their food? They pause, laugh, smell, stare off blankly and then take a single bite. Rinse and repeat 5 more times until the plate is clean. And don't even get me started with how long it takes them to eat when they are talking.

Uh, I have a bigger list than expected... o.O

• Slooooooooow bladder full walk (Run Forest, run!)
  
• Woo Hoo confirmation - Fist pump and the silly giggle foot stomp
  
• Default derpy walkstyle for ALL children
  
• First Kiss (dislike the surprised look so much)
  
• Make Out on couch (It's not, nope!)
  
• Passionate Kiss (should be renamed dramatic, it's not passionate, nope)
  
• Make a mess
  
• Waving at me when they have to pee/shower and pointing at their mouth when hungry
  
• Eating like a snail with a boo boo lip when they're 'uncomfortable' from anything
  
• Pass out butt in the air (I wish I could direct another Sim to kick them in the butt when that happens)
  
• That one finger on their hand that's crooked up when they die
  
• How they stand hunched over pigeon-toed when crying over a death
  
• DU cafeteria workers acting like vendors hawking their wares (why?)
  
• Celebrity walkstyles
  
• Celebrities trying to generate hype for themselves jumping up and down waving their arms in the air
  
• Perky, Goofy and Snooty walkstyles
  
• Hugging Trash and Insects (I don't get it)
  
• Erratic Sims sniffing armpits (How exactly does that define being erratic? Asking for a friend... *cough*)
  
• Kids constantly banging toys into their head (once in a while is fine, but it's too repetitive)
  
• High cooking skills 'special' animations (Ugh, just cook your food already, so much wasted time)
  
• Waving 'Goodbye' before flying to space when there's nobody else there (Who are they waving at? A bird? Squirrel? That purty butterfly?)
  
• Fighting, it's way too tame and silly. Vampire spar/fight is better at the beginning/end at least, looks more fierce!
  
• and finally, every.single.overblown.insulting animation for elders!

Happy Simming anyway! <3

??????? I think you pretty much summed it up. I'm genuinely curious why they decided to take silly to the next level. Some say it's to be aimed at kids but even my 10 year old niece is always fighting with her mother because she wants to watch and play mature adult things. And me and my sister was the same as a kid. As soon as our mom fell asleep we would go hunting for mature shows. Nothing bad just not that childish silly stuff she wanted for us ???

Pretty much all of the romantic animations. The makeout ones are the worst. (They're so awkward!) But I feel like we don't have any animations that make it seem like the Sims are actually into each other. Even when they're laying in bed after woohoo, there's always a healthy 18" space between them, like my brother and I used to keep when we were travelling when we were kids, and our parents made us share a bed to save on hotel room costs.

More or less everything that's been listed, honestly. But especially, now that I play an un-modded save, the constant, never ending bored idles! My sims are never bored! They are happy, inspired, focused, confident. NEVER bored! I don't know WHAT they were thinking when they added that animation, apparently it has something to do with "enviroment score".....? It drives me up the wall, really. Like sims are not wasting enough time during the day as it is...?
