Sims with odd routines

I have one sim who exercises often but I keep her busy doing other stuff. I've also had a few quasi-alcoholics who constantly make drinks. And then there's my glutton sims. I often have to stop them from raiding the fridge.

I love when they take on their own personalities, not all sims do, but it’s weird because some of them seem smarter or better coded than others to take on a life of their own. I love when that happens, it makes them feel less A.I and more human.

It seems like a couple of my Sims have a confidante in the shape of a rose bush growing out near the back door. I bet that plant has a ton of juicy rumours to share, judging by the amount of time those sims spend talking to it.

My sim self is always on a treadmill whenever I switch to his household or return to the household after travelling with another family member. My sims are also obsessed with that blob!

Most of my most played sims don’t have treadmills, but they have radio’s and a few of them are always turning it on and dancing, when I don’t have them out jogging around the neighborhood. Some single sims who garden have taken to talking to their plants as well. Some married sims seek each other out to talk, and one married couple with a toddler are always flirting with each other which is cute. I used to have one grandmother who always sought out her teenage granddaughter to talk to, she would sit on her bed and talk to her ( I think they both had the genius trait ), I thought this was very cute too. And then there are some sims who are always seeking out the chess table. I don’t really see these things as odd, but they do have routines.

@rudolpha I've also had sims that make a lot of drinks. It always seems to be the ones that live in large houses for some reason. I need to start keeping Cynthia busy as well.

@Bren91 I definitely agree. Some sims are so unique! I've found out that these unique sims will still be unique even if you put them in a different save. I wonder if there's some sort of randomness to a sim's behavior in the code when you create them that only certain sims get? I know I have certain sims that are the opposite of that as well.

@StuffyMarx I didn't realise they would go and talk to plants. I guess that's probably because my sims (like me) aren't very good gardeners haha. Imagine if it was a cowplant.

@Brd709 Yes. The Blob. The only place I usually put those clay blobs are in art centers, and my sims have been known to...um... "borrow" them from there on their own.

@SheriSim57 I do have one sim that is always listening to the radio. If I turn it off, he'll go right back over there and turn in on a few minutes later. He's a child sim who lives with his young adult sister. Your sims sound so sweet. I've noticed Mortimer and Bella Goth will often flirt with each other if left alone, as will a few of my sim couples. I have a teenage sim who lives with her grandmother, and they hardly ever talk to each other on their own. The grandma mostly watches cooking shows on her TV (though she hardly ever cooks)

I have a young man who can Not stay out of the trashcan! His, at the store, park, bar. He has been seen doing this when he is supposed to be doing something else. Even at sleep overs!

This is exactly the reason I avoid the active trait. They aren't just simply active, they are obsessive to the point of always working out until they get an injury and even then they continue working out. It's terribly balanced.

A good balance is not having the active trait and adding the bracing breezes lot trait for homes and gyms if you want them to be active.

I have a sim that I've nicknamed "Walking Jack". Whenever I visit him, he's always in another world walking. And it's never where I left him...and there doesn't appear to be any method to his madness. I guess he just likes walking and exploring new places....

"Oh hi, thanks for checking up one me. I'm still a piece of garbage."


In one of my saves, Clement keeps almost freezing to death because he's constantly going to lay on the pool float even in the freezing cold with snow everywhere
