I wouldn't mind the pop ups so much if they were for sims in my active household.
Problem is, in my game, I rarely get pop ups about likes/dislikes for my active household.
Instead, I get them every few seconds for households I don't actively play.
This past weekend, I clicked through pop ups for close to an hour asking if every sim in my town liked fitness - none of the other likes/dislikes, JUST fitness, and ONLY for sims I wasn't actively playing.
This happened while my active family was on a community lot, specifically a park. I wasn't able to actually play the game with that happening every few seconds. Gameplay became all about clicking through pop ups about what my NPCs like and dislike, so...I gave up and sent my sims home. At least there, the kids could play in the backyard in peace.
It happened again when they went to a club. I had an influx of pop ups about whether or not every sim on the lot I WASN'T playing liked dancing.
I've gotten ONE like/dislike pop up for my active household. The rest have been for NPCs. Yes, they're sims I created...but not sims I actively play.
They need to tweak like/dislike pop ups to trigger based on the ACTIVE household only and not every household you've ever created. I created replacement households for all the premades, so I'm constantly spammed with pop ups about the likes/dislikes of every sim I created to replace premade NPCs. I kept them all marked as "played" households so they wouldn't get culled, but that's going to be problematic now since likes/dislikes pop ups seem to be tied to all played households instead of the active household.
Seems like getting pop ups for the active household only would have made a little more sense.
