  • I think that one is related to jobs and feeling overwhelmed. Many thought bubbles are showing up that seem to have nothing to do with whatever is going on at that moment. In my game, my Sims and their pets are obsessed with red sports cars, bunk beds and the 'talk to the hand' thought bubbles. Sometimes those are the only three I see for an entire Sim day. And my self-employed Sims are getting the job-related thought bubble like the one you are getting. Which makes no sense to me at all. :/

    Thank You
  • It's a bug: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Excessive-and-overlapping-thought-bubbles/m-p/6686788#M59696
  • Thank you, paradiseplanet. I was aware of the possibility this is a bug of some sort since it reared it's head right after Seasons was released. It's becoming annoying and I hope it will be fixed in the patch we are getting on the 31st. And you are very welcome, irishluck1986. Let's keep our fingers crossed this glitch will soon be a thing of the past. :)

    Actually, it's been around for 2 months before Seasons, it's just been multiplied worse after all the Seasons patches.
  • Huh, I did not know that. It may have been around before Seasons but it has definitely become worse since it's release. As they are now they make no sense at all. And the whims are getting stuck on everything from Laundry Day. LOL Buy a washer, buy a dryer, buy a washtub and on and on and on. :/
  • They are definitely getting worse. It is especially irritating with pets since the excessive/contagious thought bubbles often overlap what the pet is really thinking and those thoughts are sometimes the only way to know what is wrong with the pet. I am also getting so tired of seeing that talk to the hand one. Really wish they would fix this. It seems to be a bit better when you first start playing but as you play for awhile - it gets worse and worse.
  • Good point, AprilDawn. It does get progressively worse the longer you play. And it is irritating when we are left to wonder what the pet is thinking. Especially when that is so important to know. Thought bubbles are there (supposedly) so we can properly care for our pets.
