Items that have been banned from your played sims households?

Computers, computers, computers. Those dang sims never stop using it!! They're only in households that need them for jobs (eg: tech guru) & I only buy them when my sims are sick.

Forgot to add the talking toilet. I have nightmares about that thing, I swear!

Also, umbrellas. I am so fed up with telling my sun immune vampires to put them away. Next time I play that house, they will have umbrellas! And I have to tell all of them to put them away AGAIN.

@Kathykins I hate to break this to you but even if you have your vampires put their umbrellas away and delete the umbrella rack, the next time it rains the game will automatically give them new umbrellas. Which they will then also use on non rainy sunny days. Yes, yes it is very annoying.

That's the sad part, really. The aggrivation is quite futile. I constantly see my currently non-played sims running around with the blasted thing.

The issue has also been posted on the AHQ site, so its a bug that may or may not be fixed some time.

It's an hidden trait. I will check this when I play again, since I don't remember the exact trait name (Something like isUmbrella_user) but if the umbrella gets added again to one of your sim, or you want to remove an umbrella you gave to your sim, the remove trait cheats works.

Thanks! I'll check it with Show Sim Info, it should list it there :)

those billblock games - they won't do anything else if there is one

I've also had issues with the highchair, so I rarely use them.
A lot of these items I've never had in my house.
I don't really get annoyed about items. Probably the most irritating thing is when guests use the computer (ERR HELLO WHO SAID YOU COULD DO THAT) so I probably should lock the door of the room it's in :D :D My Sims don't seem to get as distracted by the bulletin board, or the blicblock game. Maybe my Sims are just weird that way??

The highchair - we all know how frustrating that is. The microscope and telescope because they look awful and take up too much space. And I think the globe bar is going to have to go soon - it looks good, but I'm fed up of my sims making drinks all the time and leaving glasses everywhere.

I can't think of anything I've out right banned from any of my Sims lots. However, there are objects that I don't use very often just because, as others have mentioned, they're so large; microscope, telescope, cupcake machine, etc. I do get rid of sinks as soon as my Sims can afford the dishwasher though. Usually not because of their water drinking obsession, unless it's a house with uncontrollable Sims. I get rid of them because of the obsessive hand washing after using the toilet.

Yes, I know it's expected in the real world, and I'd be grossed out if nobody did, but this is the Sims. What sense does it make to wash your hands if you're getting in the shower next? Especially when the only sink is in the kitchen located on the other side of the house to wash dishes. It's just an annoying time waster in my opinion. *shrugs*

Fruitcake is banned. It goes straight to the bin.

Fruitcake is so evil it gives my Sims a crappy mood for hours. They never seem to like it.

For me it is the computer. But only part of the time. If I invite another sim to my house to socialize or throwing a party I always put the computer into the inventory. I mean visiting sims will ignore EVERYTHING just to go play a game on your computer...

Same! Although I lock the computer in a room. If a Sim is already in there playing something? Tough. They get locked in until party is over.

I'm sick fed up of it.

Am I the only one who loves the talking toilet? It can deal with their bladder and hygiene at once! I love this.

Nope, I am on your side, lol

I absolutely love the talking toilets. Especially for my aliens.

I don’t think I’ve banned anything. Some of the annoying items has their place and time. Only two households have the gaming rig because that’s what they’re into. I use the high chair only if there are a couple of sims in the household with the toddler.
