Yes! Like dude you’re ruining this date? whenever my sims do this I start shouting expletives at them ?

I do my best to cancel those actions, by sending the fridge-raiding Sim off on another task. Sometimes it works, sometimes, not so much. :open_mouth:

There should be a way to lock the fridge, you know?

Omg yes getting out of bed just to pass out on the floor! Sims really are stupid sometimes :D

I’ve never actually hired a caterer for a wedding or any other kind of event. Seems like I shouldn’t!

Unfortunately, when setting up these events you can't escape choosing a caterer and mixologist. But, I use the Banquet tables, nevertheless. That way the Cook can go about and do their own thing and my guests get treated to something other than sweets, only.

Huh, I’ve done loads of weddings and not needed to choose a caterer or mixologist.

Really, now did you get through the entire event planner, then. Please share your secret!

As a storyteller who does a lot of group activities, it drives me nuts that the average sim's attention span is like 0.05 seconds. I'm trying to get a group together around a table to shoot a scene. As the last sim sits, the first sim gets up to go do something totally random. It reminds me of acrobats, one stands on the teeter-totter and another one jumps on the other end and launches them.

Edit to add a better analogy

I just had my young Sim couple go out on a date. For most of the time, she kept getting up. Happily, I was able to control her, since they live in the very same dorm at university, but still. I was constantly having to send her back to their table to sit and chat. It's a wonder they got a Legendary date out of it!

Anoter thing I just hate is the pee walk - meaning the sim takes three times as long to reach the toilet. There was a time the would dash to reach the toilet when their bladder need was red. Or was that sims 3 ?

I have to say it took a very long time before I stopped laughing at that walk. A very long time.

Since I'll be using one of my backup saves to stage Matteo's proposal I'm going to merge everybody into one household and disable autonomy and see if that helps. That save is the one I keep for special occasions like this. When I'm done I can exit without saving and I don't wreck anything. We'll see if it works. It's a bit of a pain in the butt to have to do something like that just to get a group of sims to stick together for a few minutes. It's like, guys, all I need is for you to stay together and focus for like 20 minutes, 30 tops.?

What if they go too fast…and it leaks ?

Yeah that would be a good idea! Like a child proof lock but to keep them out of the fridges

Don't you love it when your Sim stands there for 12 hours waiting for a random townie to fly across the world, geolocate their exact position and butt in their conversation just to leave after 3 seconds.

Back when I first started my story thread, before Travis revealed he was a two-faced snake, there was a moment with him and Summer I wish I had known was coming. If I had I wouldn't taken a screenshot, I would have hit 'V' and recorded it. Summer was cooking dinner and Travis was sitting at the table talking to her. Get leftovers popped into his queue. A couple of seconds later Summer unexpectedly sneezed into the meal she was cooking. At that same moment get leftovers dropped from his queue into action. The split second she starts embarrassingly trying cover what just happened he gets up and walks to fridge and grabs something to eat. I nearly proved that hysterical death is a real thing. I could play this game for a million years and never get that to happen again, and I missed saving it to share with everybody. Months later I'm laughing my butt off at the memory of it all.?

Actually I’ve only done one wedding since getting My Wedding Stories. But I didn’t need a caterer or mixologist. I don’t think. Oops, can’t actually remember… I’ll be doing another wedding soon so I’ll have to look.

You don’t need one. I have MWS and I just had a wedding in my favorite save and it didn’t require me to assign those roles. I could hire a sim or assign one of my sims if I wanted, but it wasn’t required.
