Funny/weird things that happened in your game without you controlling it?
Sorry if there's already a thread for this, I've tried to look it up and didn't find a recent one.
I've seen a lot of people complaining on other forums that the sims are useless on their own and they always have to control them. Well, I see it the other way. Somehow nowadays my sims are unpredictable, even when I try to make them behave like I want the storyline to go, so at this point I'm just sitting back and enjoy the ride.
So let's see a few examples (sorry, it's probably gonna be long):
I started with a teen girl who quickly had a crush on a fellow classmate and it was mutual. They started dating, became partners, had fun together but somehow never developed a soulmate status. I like my sims to have a lot of friends so they can have fun gatherings, grow up "together" etc. So after a while my girl and her BF's best friend started to fall for each other and flirt all the time - without me controlling their actions. They ended up being soulmates, the girl broke up with the boyfriend, married the other guy and they had a kid. I thought this is it, they'll be a big happy family...but then the girl started to flirt with her ex again and became pregnant. Because I control other households as well, it was always a guessing game when I saw my girl pregnant again - is this child from the father or the lover? (Bc she just kept getting pregnant lol) - One day her husband got a call from the lover that he found a ring (you know the drill) and I decided to tell him to say yes. So now the girl have 2 husbands.
The lover (now husband number 2) is a spellcaster, and out of 3 kids one grow up to be one. I decided to move her out and have her own storyline bc I never really play with spellcasters and I was in the mood. She got a boyfriend and was about to go to prom and have the best day of her life. When she arrived, I didn't see her date so I focused the camera on him and guess what - he was cheating on her. Since she's a spellcaster, I stepped in - Froze the BF and got the girl on fire he was cheating on and then went on to enjoy the prom. This was the moment I decided she is gonna be an evil spellcaster even if I wanted her to be like his father who is wholesome - he is going around the world and resurrecting dead people, etc.
One day she was using the telescope to get her logic skill up and got hit by a meteorite. I'm playing with the Sims since the beginnings and this never happened to me so I was kind of shocked. Luckily his father is a top level spellcaster so he bought her back.
This family and their friends had a lot to happen to them without me stepping in that I already lost count. While they were younger one of his best friends married Ash and died of laughter during the wedding. At this point the "lover" was just a regular guy, so I had to make them reach level 10 gourmet cooking skill and hunt down all the ingredients to bring him back. Now all is well, the guy and Ash have 2 science babies and love each other since ages.
I'm sure this is because of a known bug but my Weddings are always chaotic too, especially if I invite Father Winter. Idk why but he's always flirting with someone - sometimes it's funny but when he's out to get the bride or the groom I have to work really hard to get rid of the "fear of being cheated on" moodlet. :smiley: Other than Father Winter, it seems like my guests can never behave. It's a beach wedding? No one is watching the ceremony, they prefer swimming instead. Is this a wedding with a bar? Sure, they are getting wasted instead of taking their seats. Is this a celebrity wedding? They get raided by fans and paparazzis. Is there a dress code? 80% of the guests decide to wear to most outrageous clothes.
I'd be able to continue but this is already too long :smiley:
I can't wait to hear your stories!
