How annoying is Agnes Crumplebottom? - Trying to decide if I will buy Cottage Living or not
I'm trying to decide if I will buy Cottage Living the next time it goes on sale or not.
The main reasons I am interested in the pack are the Henford-on-Bagley world, the new CAS and build items, raising animals, oversize crops, the simple living and foxes lot challenges, cross-stitching, and canning.
The only reason I am hesitant to buy the pack is Agnes Crumplebottom.
I realize she has a lot of fans from the old days, and many players like her. But I know I would find her habit of attacking sims who are being romantic in public annoying rather than entertaining. I'd like to get the input of simmers who have been playing with the Cottage Living pack for a while, though, regarding what it is like having her in the game. Because it's possible she's not as disruptive as I am imagining.
If you have Cottage Living and you can answer these questions, that would be really helpful to me in making a decision about the pack.
1) Does Agnes mostly stay in her own neighborhood, or does she turn up in any world you're playing in just like other sims do?
2) How close do your romantic couple sims have to be to her to trigger her reaction? Is it a reasonable realistic line of sight distance? Or does she target them from all the way across the neighborhood (or on a completely different floor of the building) where she could not possibly have seen them, like sims do for all other kinds of social interactions?
3) I read somewhere that if you delete Agnes in the household management panel, the game will just generate a new one to take her place and fill her roll. Is this true? Or can you just get rid of her like you can any normal sim?
4) Are there any in-game ways to get her to calm down and not attack couples so much?
5) Are there any mods that tone-down her behavior, stop her behavior, confine her to her home neighborhood, or get rid of her entirely? I've been searching and searching for any mods like this, but so far haven't found any. I might be using the wrong search terms though, so I thought I'd ask.
Thanks!
