I'm asking because I was doing some testing that required my sims to sit and stand still and do nothing. They sat for hours in the kitchen, that was okay with the neighbors apparently. But then, shortly before midnight, they walked a few steps and proceed to stand still in the floor, next thing I knew was the apartment neighbor hammering at my door and berating my sims for being inconsiderate.
Does the game check if my sims actually lie in bed? I got into trouble before for my simchild flushing the toilet in the night (as well as a few deserved cases where I simply forgot to check the clock before bringing out the instrument, my bad).
I also suspect that relationship plays a role, because neutral neighbors are far more inclined to complain than friendly ones. But that my be confirmation bias on my part.
Walking can be loud, if the person is wearing high heels and walking on tiles or hard wood floors. Do neighbors complain if you have a barking dog?
Some will, some won't, people have different tolerances for noise. That's why I was asking specifically for the sensibilities of the sims in this game. I don't want to debate realism, I want to make a list of actions that are allowed/disallowed. Does the game take into account my sims' footwear? The type of flooring? Wheter my sims run or walk? I doubt it's that complex, but what do I know. It very well might. Maybe it's checking broad categoties like the light still being on.
