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

Nope. I just curse at my screen and fix the situation with a mod/cheat.

When it comes to washing dishes, putting away leftovers, or picking up clothes piles I'll often just drag it myself. Sims can be quite forgetful when you queue them up to do these things. The worst thing you can do is leave a sim to make their own decisions. :D
Can't blame them... I'm really bad at remembering to put laundry in the dryer.

Not my own sims, they only do what I tell them and if they break character it's not their fault, but the programming's.

But if a mail carrier complains they cannot reach the mail box while it is perfectly accessable, then I either make my resident sim beat them up or delete them (nothing bad, they just get fired for rudeness and move to another town).
And don't start me on teachers - it's probably a good thing they do not exist as characters in the game, otherwise I'd use the swimming pool on some of them.

I had a mod that allowed robbers in the game since they were missing from base game. The guy broke in and threatened my Sim. Since the police NPCs the mod also added (I think it's one of the Sacrificial mods) were pretty much incompetent, I ended up killing the robber Sim through the cheats, then reviving the guy only to lock him up in a room in my Sim's basement he couldn't get out of. Eventually, I just deleted the guy. The mod was really causing a ton of errors, so I deleted it when I did the cull post-Eco Living patch.

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 have no mercy. ?
In fact, the girl was so thoughtful, she prepared these burgers for all the other 5 members of the family. She kindly thought: they can have 1 each and share the other 3.’
She then happily went off to her room, leaving the burgers on the table for her beloved family to consume, because she’d rather go to bed without any food and an empty stomach, than see her family starve.
But her “family“ is so ignorant, they didn’t even care about her great deed. Not one bit. So they just left the burgers on the table to rot. Poor girl.

Instead you should have disciplined the other 5 careless sims in her family and lock them up in a room and make them eat spoiled burgers for an entire week.

When I think of the times that I killed my Sims in any way possible in the original "The Sims" I am feeling quite ashamed of myself. That was the ultimate killing machine!

I've softened a bit after all these years and even felt sorry for my old gentleman who died from embarrassment making woohoo after a workout at the gym. o:)

Back in Sims3, my Sim, Erik Cantrell, was a Rock Star. He had a not-so-lucky love life, getting himself engaged too early and then breaking it off. Finally, he found the one he thought was the One. They dated and before too long they fell in love and he asked her to marry him. He brought her to his parents' house for Gift Giving Day, so she could meet his family, and they her. Well, I caught the little gold-digger flirting with his only brother-in-law and his sister was newly wed. Yeah, that got my ire up. I had created her in CAS just for Erik. I was so angry, I snatched her right out of the game and placed her in the Bin. She's still there.

Later on, Erik found another love. This time the couple made it down the aisle. She got preggars on their wedding night. Well, Torrie, obviously didn't mind the married part, but becoming a mother apparently just wasn't her thing. Erik still performed concerts, even when it rained. This one was an evening concert in the largest venue that came with Showtime. I kept an eye on his wife and infant son, most particularly when his icon went red. I switched rather quickly to the home lot in time to see the baby laying out on the front lawn in the pouring rain. Torrie had no interest in taking the baby inside, or at least that's how it appeared. So, instead of Erik winding down at the local bar after his concert, I had him come home immediately. He scooped up little Nicholas, carried him inside and then argued with Torrie.

The next time he had a night concert and it happened to rain, I'll be darned if Torrie didn't do it again. The poor baby wailed and wailed so badly, it broke my heart. Again, I had Erik rush home. He saved his son, but the couple must never have gotten over that first argument. Didn't take much before the "Break-Up" interaction appeared in the menu. I had him break-up. But, then I immediately went into Edit Town and removed her from the household, placing her in an apartment. I didn't want her to leave with the baby. Erik took a hit from his fans and the press, but I just had him go to court to sue for slander. Guess what? He won. Why else would he be given complete custody of the infant?

I brought him over to Sims4 hoping upon hope he'd have a better love-life. Nobody knows the trouble I've seen. LOL Oh, well …

In my 20 years of playing it has never occurred to me to punish or discipline my sims. :D

No, not really. Back in my younger days a Sim that I was not playing could catch my ire, but it was not really a punishment. In 4, my Sims really feel like a dumb sack of pixels so I do not feel the need to.

I don't usually punish my own sims, but I will punish random townies or NPCs if they're too annoying. I'll have my Vampire drain their needs and kill them >:)

Yesterday, my sim almost burnt her fiance's ex to death for repeatedly flirting with him, right in front of her. She decided to show mercy this time and extinguished the fire at the last moment, but next time she (and me) wont be as kind.
