I completely forgot: coffee machines! If there is one in the house, I can bet a million simoleons someone will always want to make coffee, drink a cup and then leave it to spoil.

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.

Vampires using umbrella's on a sunny day was requested by simmers so it was patched in. It is not a bug. As this game does not allow toggles - you either get something requested or you don't. The devs were able to make it happen after so many requested it - we got it.

I like it myself as I don't have to waste a perk on making my Vamp protected from the sun now. They take care of their selves and I can use the points on something else. I was glad the devs could do that for the vamps.

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*

Oh that would gross me out - if they did not wash their hands after using the toilet and not brush their teeth at least twice a day. I was so glad to finally get a sims game where they washed their hands automatically - after years of making my sims go back to the bathroom to do it - I will never remove a bathroom sink for sure. But on the other hand I never have sims with obsessive water drinking issue for some reason. I have one sim that seems to like a glass of milk now and then with her dinner but she's the only one I ever see with a glass of anything at home.

Having more than one stereo on the same lot, I play with rather large families and they love to turn every stereo on without the intention to dance or listen to the songs and leave the room, as soon as find a second to click on "Turn Off" both stereos, a different family member decides to turn one of them on, and the cycle continues.. I learned my lesson, never again!

Gaming rig, stereo/speakers, talking toilet, water slide and basketball court. They all seem to be too much of a distraction for my Sims.

The lump of clay!

I really dislike that lump of clay. So much. Just so, so much.

Thing is I never even buy it, my Sims just some how always end up with them. Where do they even come from?! ?

Wohoo bushes are banned from my game because pets get sick from them ALL.....THE......TIME!!!!

Yes! Those are no longer allowed around my household. Dogs kept getting sick and got tired of taking them to the vet.

Cupcake factory, just big and hideous. I want to make cupcakes and donuts for my kids and leave it out on the counter (as I have food doesn't spoil achievement) but that big ugly thing is not going in my house. Doesn't go with anything.

That's it because I also play with autonomy off.

I don't use those big oversized objects.

The cowplant for now. When it first grew it was so fun and my Sims loved her ( called her Bessie in fact hehe) But one of my Sims was truly obsessed with her. ALWAYS going outside to play with her or feed her. He'd even walk around the house with her in his thought bubbles. One morning before I even realized what was going on he got up and went outside and when I realized what was going on I saw he was reaching for the cake the cowplant was so "generously" offering. I acted quick, went into build mode and removed the cowplant and tossed her in inventory. Sim was confused, but safe. Ugh. So yeah, she only comes out for small bursts and careful monitoring.

I wonder if it has to do with individual SIMs also. I had a Barbie doll SIM who would obsessively carve knife block set the workbench. Others don’t even know or care if there is a workbench on the lot.

I save the gaming rig for arcade & bowling alley type venues. I don’t like it in the house either!

I only banned sinks in my vet clinic. Can’t delete these essential things for aesthetics concerns but managed to stop my vamps from constantly drinking water by putting a “don’t touch” sign in front of the sink, pretending it’s under maintenance.
