True, it does get very annoying, and however this moodlet was implemented, it was not thought through well enough, I think. A sim with a dance machine trait gets bored if he/she isn't dancing, that makes perfect sense as the trait and activity were meant to go together. But an adventurous sim getting bored in the midst of adventurous activity doesn't make sense at all. If he gets bored reading or watching TV because he'd rather be outdoors climbing or skiing, then yes, that would be realistic for his traits.
True, I can just force my sims to do whatever, but the bored moodlet really detracts from the gameplay and story when it pops up at the most inopportune and contradictory moments. And if being bored with the two skills he's developed so far is any indication, does this mean he will get bored with every other skill he develops? Where's the fun in that, and what's the incentive to continue playing with this sim if boredom is the inevitable result. I can probably live with this if the moodlet only pops up occasionally, but it seems permanently attached to the activity.
