Dislikes, I'm struggling with. For example, I cannot see the point in setting rocket science as a dislike when none of my sims will be doing it anyway.

I've been adding programming, robotics, and rocket science as dislikes for my creative sims, so that they hopefully won't show up to the geek festival and monopolize all of the activities as they usually do. It's a real chore sometimes trying to find a free computer, rocket, etc., for the sims I've actually chosen to take to the festival, who do like those things.

I'm adding a fishing dislike to any sim I don't actively want to have it as a like, in hopes that it will stop every sim in the world from never talking about anything other than fishing.

I'm adding video games and mischief as a dislike for nearly all my sims, except the very few I specifically want to like those things, so that they will stop autonomously pulling out their phones or pranking other sims constantly.

I'm adding fitness as a dislike for my sims who are not supposed to be particularly athletic yet somehow seem to be constantly breaking out into exercise.

Basically, as a rotational player, my hope is that some of these dislikes will minimize the extent to which I see my sims doing things that I consider out of character when I run into them out and about in the world while playing other sims. Or for that matter, if I'm actively playing their household and just take my eyes off them for five seconds.
