Hello everyone!I'd first just like to say a huge thank you to the developers for the amazing update i love all the new features, having a lot of fun playing with them and the lighting looks wonderful. One thing is starting to bug me a little... My Sims constantly going to the sink to get a glass of water. With all my sims i buy the Steel Bladder trait so my Sims are not always running to the toilet when trying to build skills. But now they are always running to the sink for water... Is there anyway i can stop them from using that option? I'd love to be able to turn it off somehow.

It's a drink thing. For some unknown reason sims are driven to wanting water, milk or juice on a very regular basis if left to their own devices. Only good thing is that they all garner money if you trash them in the cash bin!

LOL, I knew someone was going to complain about this. XD

All of these drink problems would be solved if they just added a thirst meter and then treated it like how the hunger meter is treated where they would only get a drink if it was necessary and not all the time.I mean its not like it takes them that long to get a drink anyways so adding a thirst meter wouldn't affect much in the long run.They could even allow you to have a drink paired with a meal at home and not just at restaurants.. like a combined meal and drink option then so you could solve both problems at once.. would be soooo much better than just having them spam drinks nonstop.This nonstop drinking has been a reappearing problem for like forever now and a thirst meter would fix it.

Oh I LOVE the idea of having drinks with meals. A thirst meter would be nice if we could have a trait to stop it from declining so fast.

Don't.... this will end like the aliens abduction if you complain... Sims will never ever take a glass of water again... just wait for a mod for the sake of Sims kind

Lots of people have mentioned this. It will be at least a month before it's repaired IF they don't do it on Tuesday, which I highly doubt. They only patch once a month, at least.

Sims 4 has the most frequent updates of patches than any iteration in the past. We should be happy we are getting a patch update "once a month" because they are actually spoiling us if you compare it to past games! :)
