I'm talking about when they do something they should know better not to do? And if so, what did you do?One of my households is a family of 6. One young lady made burgers on the grill, placed them on the kitchen table, and then went to bed without eating any of them. When she came back downstairs the next day, of course they were spoiled.Now, I really hate it when my sims waste food for no reason, so I made her eat all 8 spoiled burgers, one right after the other--needless to say, she didn't feel too well afterwards >:)

You could have put the burgers in the fridge yourself, you know that, don't you?

I do know that, absolutely. But she should've at least eaten one instead of wasting them

If she ate at least one, I would put them in the fridge, but she just wasted them all

Are you a psycopath? :lol: im joking. Nope, i've never punished my sims *intentionally* :)

Do you ever discipline your sims when they make you angry?

I can be a bit sadistic to my sims at times. I just sent my corrupt detective to the club with his hygiene in the red on purpose...his "essense" is offending everyone around him lol

A filthy corrupt detective hmmm.... sounds good :naughty:

LOL she definitely deserved your punishment.

Some comments here really lack a sense of humour. ?

Back to your question, I had a sim who kept knitting last week (interrupted eating and never went to bed, made me so frustrated) and the result was a sweater that was so colourful but apparently it was a failed project cause it was itching. I made her wear the sweater for the entire sim winter (have it on longest) just so she could suffer the consequences of knitting instead of eating and sleeping. ?

Haha, I love it!

I don't punish them for bad programming. It's not their fault. :D

No, there is nothing to discipline. I can get upset with the scripting, but it doesn't learn from being reprimanded. I have sometimes gone out of my way to make Sims miserable though, as that can provide some sort of satisfaction for me. But Sims don't understand or learn from it.

I don't punish them per se but I do give them a talking to :D Also, after going through all that trouble to make sure my sims have "good manners" I will make them clean up their dirty dishes etc instead of "trolling teh forums" as they like to do so much or playing on the game pad thingy.

Sorry, I don't find any kind of torture funny! I am glad others can though!

Yes, I punish them for bad programming, but what I would do in this case is wake her up and make her do the chore(s) herself. I never drag things they can do themselves. I'm not their magic gnome/elf maid, NO.

I wish they would learn and I hope for a (sandbox dollhouse life sim) game with great AI.

I help my Sims all the time if they for some reason don't clean up by themselves.

It's interesting how some players seem to use the game as an outlet for bottled up aggression and/or frustration (which I'm inclined to interpret an urge to discipline and punish as), while others coddle and spoil their Sims rotten - like I do.

Usually when my sims annoy me it isn’t their fault; it’s either a bug or a design flaw. I’d like to punish the developers instead. >:)
