You make me a little jealous if you think that the game is perfect the way it is. I wish I could say the same thing. I love the game, but I get tired of playing it and lose the interest very fast.
5 or more years since the game was released? My sims still haven't learned how to eat at a table and drink from their glass when eating. I mean, they do that... Umm time to time. Mine have an absolutely gorgeous patio. I wanted my married couple to eat and drink there together. The girl took a plate, stood by the wall and started to eat. The boy ate at the table. I tried to make her sit down, but she only did it when she ate 90% of her food. Next time she didn't take her food, it was on the line, but she was sitting with just a glass in order to drink the whole drink before she takes her plate. And when I canceled drinking to try again at the same time, she only put her glass when she drank the drink.
They simply don't listen to me and that stinks.
