Items that have been banned from your played sims households?

I can't have a dryer without the lint-less upgrade. Have to have a handy sim in my house or I either use the outdoor laundry or no laundry at all. It just catches fire too much. I clean the lint tray before every load, still catches on fire. I also have noticed my sims obsession with dancing to the radio, however its not banned yet.
Also thanks to all those who mentioned locking their study/office/ comp room for when guests visit! I hadn't thought of that before.

Great question. Here it goes.

• I've banned the talking toilet as my sims will spend their whole day in the bathroom talking to that strange thing.
  
• I'm coming close to banning highchairs. I've only played with a toddler for 2 days and I can see why you people hate highchairs.
  
• Bath tubs. My sims are obsessed with taking baths and it takes them so long to get clean! My sims have about 1hr to get ready and they all want to take a bath.
  
• Karaoke machines. I don't want to listen to sims singing badly all the time.
  
• Cheap stoves that are going to catch on fire.
  

I found annoying objects were more of an issue in sims 3. But looks like S4 has its fair share.

The buggy high chairs, sometimes doll houses (because of the constant destruction, lol), and I try to restrict (not full-on ban, yet) the usage of the computers.

I'm thinking about banning clay because my Sims always want to mold clay :#!

I never used dollhouses until recently, and I am considering banning them too. My sim adults are always playing with it, even without the childish trait?

"Hey Alice! Quit bashing plastic humans together and see to your starving toddler!"

It's another distraction. Why can't sims prioritise? :neutral:

For me it's the coffee/tea machine...
Sim- my sleep bar is in the red, but look! We have a coffee machine to give me the tiniest sliver of energy bar! Wow, I don't know how I could
live without this.
It ticks me off SO MUCH.

I have a love/hate relationship with the high chairs. I like putting my toddler in it to eat but for me I don't have a problem with it on nice sunny days, but when it's raining or lightning as soon as I put my toddler in, he immediately says something and my sim has to get him out of it which is annoying. I think it's spam and needs to be patched.

I am doubling down on my thing against cheap stoves. I just had a fire from a cheap stove while cooking mac and cheese. How do you set mac and cheese on fire??
