I'm "rebooting" Bonnie Sheffield. In an alternate universe/another life Bonnie was a geeky scientist who adored all things space and aliens etc.This Bonnie has gone to Geek Con and while working on the rocket ship decided she's not enjoying herself and rocket science may not be her cup of tea (so to speak).So, Dislikes Rocket Science?

So the question is, is Rocket Science part of Bonnie's core character or just one of many possible expressions of her scientific curiosity?That said, in this situation I still voted No, because the game tries to slap sims with a Dislike every time they attempt an activity in a bad mood. That's not a real dislike, that's just needing to kick back with a cup of tea for twenty minutes in my book.

I'd say roll with it as well, but I kind of like when my game decides to take me in an unexpected direction. It adds some interest and variety in my game I suppose, since I normally play my game so perfectly and hate inserting any kind of drama on my own, so I guess that's my way of mixing it up a little bit. It adds a new challenge and the potential for more interesting/complex storylines.

If the sim happens to be in a good mood, they'll 'like' the activity. I try not to let moodlets mess up my plans for my sims, especially when moodlets are so random and the sim is just being melodramatic, as usual.

Turn it down this time, then let her work on a rocket again later and see if you get the same prompt to cement her dislike again. In yes, go with it. If no, she was just having an off day. ^_^

It seems more realistic that she would have aspects of her job she doesn't like. I know I've had those moments.

My future Scientist dislikes Rocket Science ??

Yeah, the cos-players didn't want to let her take selfies.

Understood. I have never played any careers, aspirations, etc more than once.

It depends if you're more a guardian angel to your sims or an evil overlord! :D

If you enjoy making the poor things miserable, go for it and have her hate it, if not, give the poor girl a break, lol.
