I recently realized I named 2 of the families in my save "Prescott" and "Westcott." I made them weeks from each other and made other families in between, but I'm still annoyed with myself for not realizing how similar the names are. Apparently, I just really like names that rhyme with "-escott," LOL. What are some moments when you did something less than brilliant in your game, and later realized it and thought, "Duh--why did I do that??"

Mine was this. A guy called my sim up and invited her to the romance festival, and my sim agrees to go. Now, this guy is married, and also another sim that I also play, but in another household. So I thought it would be a good idea to include his wife with this group. Everyone goes and drinks the tea that makes everyone flirty. Almost immediately some other woman walks up to the married guy and flirts with him, and he flirts right back. All this is happening right in front of his new wife (still newlyweds). She gets extremely angry and walks off.My duh moment is never to invite another married couple to one of those things unless I can actually control everyone.

can't tell you how many times my sim has refused to go in a room and then i realise it was because i locked the door

I've had heaps of those moments. XD + ^^; They're usually door-related."Serenity, what are you doing outside? The toilet's that way."*realises that she IS heading towards a toilet, but not the one I told her to use*"But why would you want to use the one at the park when you have three perfectly good ones at home? Like that one..." "...which doesn't have a door."*laughs for five minutes before finally adding a door*"How did I forget that? Never mind. Now to find out why Joey's sleeping outside when he has a completely accessible bedroom..."(In case you're wondering, that didn't have a door either.)

Now I lock the bedroom door to keep the vampires from my sim when she's sleeping.

My favorite of mine has been similar to the door issue but with sinks. I'll forget to add a sink and wonder why my sim is running to the basement bathroom to wash all their dishes passing three other rooms that should have sinks in the process.

I was getting mad at one of my families, because they would never wash the dishes in the kitchen. They'd always take stuff to a bathroom.

Then I noticed that I forgot to give them a kitchen sink and dishwasher when I was redoing the kitchen. Whoops. :#

Made my male sim flirt with his wife but then got confused why the wife has an angry moodlet and then realizing that he isn't in fact, flirting with said wife, but just another sim who has the same hair colour

Most of mine are of the, “Why the !*$# is my sim refusing to practice speech in this mirror?!” variety.

Then I rage for a while before realizing the door is for male or female sims only.

Mine is like everyone else with the locked door or blocked pathways lol Or sending my sim to do a skill activity that goes on for a particular time and causing them to miss work or school because they don't stop those things to leave home

I used to lock my front door and then wonder why when I invited sims in they stayed outside. Now I lock the bedroom door to keep the vampires from my sim when she's sleeping.

I lock the doors to any rooms that have computers. It's rude they can use my computer lol.

Another one I've done so many times is build building backwards. I scrapped so many builds because of it. This is what I mean, the guard towers are on the wrong side.

You can move the whole building you know? Just rotate it so that the towers go backwards.

I want the towers to be by the road and on the inner corner over the path into town. I'm going to see how the building will look if I increase the room size below the roof to put the stairs sideways going up to the roof. If it looks good, I'll build the towers over the path.
