i think the 'doorbell' obsession actually works when visitors come to the door and knock. i have a ghost dog (in a ghost household) with that obsession and she runs to the door and starts spinning crazily (chasing her tail, more or less) whenever a visitor starts walking up to the door. i started noticing it one ingame night when had 3 different vampires wanting to stop by for a chat while the ghost scientist was trying to perfect one of her serums (not the plasma-drinking break-in, but actually knocking on the door to talk to the sim, the way normal sims sometimes do during the day)
also, on the serenading thing, i've been doing similar with my sims. even try to keep some from even thinking about learning the singing skill, just so they don't serenade each other every 15 seconds. it normally wouldn't bother me, but that 8 hour flirty moodlet can be frustrating (and it takes so many cold showers to remove it)
Oh, well, sure, don't see why it couldn't be triggered by a knock, thanks for sharing. I just want door bells, haha, so I can hear them better, but the dog could let me know. I'll have to keep an eye out for that. I don't suppose every dog has it, but maybe I'll get lucky.
The devs must have known my dad. He would burst into song at the slightest opportunity. It did not result in the flirty mood for my mom, and indeed would especially annoy her when we were in public, so he tried to keep it to whistling then. He was actually acceptable, thank God, but still. Would give my last dollar to hear it again, Sam, now he's gone.
