any one else have Stupid sims

Vampire teens taking their time (mood swing/weird walk) getting into the house after school.

Oh yeah, my Sims are dumb. In one Save, I've got the Sim who is cooking, who has tons of countertop space in the kitchen, but goes all the way to the basement to the laundry room to chop up the food, to travel all the way back upstairs to cook. Like literally, cooking/eating for Sims is like this 5 hour endeavor lol. Or my Sim who will stop doing anything I tell her to do, to go vacuum & the house isn't even dirty.

& then in my other Save, my vampire who doesn't have sun protection loves to just stand in the sun and burn. I literally scream at my computer, because dude will die and it's like go inside you idiot, but better yet, why are you outside without your umbrella or sun protection. Gotta love it! LOL

True but these sims are the only thing that makes me feel smarter.

That is such a fun way to look at it.

I've noticed that some autonomous actions towards filling needs are a little bugged at the moment. This is especially noticeable with NPC's, I had three celebrity sims, while at the Starlight Acoladies, pee themselves, one of them died from embarrassment.

Sims 4 were supposed to be smarter. Yet I find them more stupid. Actually the most stupid of all iterations.

Sad but true. Was it always this way or did they just get more stupid over time as more content was added to the game? I didn’t really start playing the Sims 4 properly until seasons released so I don’t know how smart they were before then.

They were dumber from the get-go. The 'smarter sims' was just propaganda as part of the sales pitch. The EA version of 'How do you know when a politician is lying? Their mouth is moving.'

mine for some reason become obsessed with the pool when it’s cold out. i swear when it’s hot they will rarely use it but when it’s cold i keep having to stop them from swimming.

I feel like the odd one out here, my sims are pretty good at things, keeping themselves occupied and living on their own. I had a thread where I had accidently left the game running for 3-4 hours, when I saw it I almost had heart failure, lol. The sims were sitting on the couch in the living room watching tv, all needs up and I thought wow. THEN, I started looking around and was aghast!! There was trash, dirt everywhere, lol. They hadn't bothered to clean up anything, but they were still alive. :D

Everybody has stupid sims!
