Do Fame Quirks Weigh Too Heavily When Determining Autonomous Actions?
So in Get Famous, Celebrities can develop quirks, some of which have low impact on a Sim's day to day activities, and some which completely alter the way a Sim acts on their own.
Does anyone feel that such quirks change a Sim's autonomous actions TOO drastically?
Just to name a few of the bigger offenders:
Paparazzi Darling- This causes your Sims to become Confident when posing for Paparazzi, and additionally causes more Paparazzi to show up when on public lots, as well as having them appear more often on your home lot.
Now, this can be easily ignored for the most part. There are no negative moodlets to not indulging in the Paparazzi. But!
If left to their own devices, a Sim with this Quirk will beeline for the Paparazzi whenever they have a free moment.
Vain Street- This causes your Sims to become tense if it's been a few hours since they Admired their Fine Self in the mirror. Though they get a +2 Confident Moodlet if they indulge their quirk. But!
If left to their own devices, a Sim with this Quirk will beeline for any available mirror whenever they have a free moment. Even if they don't have the Tense moodlet. Weirdly, they sometimes don't even get the Confident Moodlet from autonomous Fine-Self-Admiring.
Phone Fanatic- This causes your Sims to become tense if it's been a few hours since they've used one of their Cellphone's Entertainment functions. Playing Games on a Cell Phone and, after a recent-ish patch, Taking a Selfie will relieve them of this moodlet. But!
If left to their own devices, a Sim with this Quirk will often be found playing games on their phone, even if there are far better things nearby that will fulfill their Fun need. Additionally, having this quirk will, for now at least, forever curse your Sim with having an extra idle animation where they just tap on their phone, even if they remove this Quirk with a Quirk-B-Gone Potion. This isn't linked to an interaction, and doesn't fill needs, it's just an animation that wastes time and can even happen in the middle of other interactions, like telling jokes at a Mic or chatting.
I feel that these Quirks heavily hamper a Sim's ability to do things Autonomously because they're just weighted so heavily when the Sim decides what they should be doing at any given moment, and that they could use some tuning.
How does everyone else feel about the effect of Quirks on a Sim's actions and habits?
