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

I hate when things like this happens. We get some nice interaction and it gets decreased because people find it annoying... Just like when sims could finally woohoo on their own. I was so happy, but people complained that they didn't like it and now it's also decreased. Happens very rarely to me now... :(

Our poor sims have lived in an everlasting summer with only bar drinks to quench their thirst for 2 years! They're very dehydrated =P

My sims don't drink any more than before and I have found that, if they are doing something that I don 't want them to do, cross out the action and they stop. Wait - I take that back , I do have a couple Sims that favor water more than I would like and that is how I know to stop them. Stop the action people.

I haven't had this happen yet... but I did notice the option to get water from the sink.
Do they get a bad drink moodlet if they are a foodie like with milk or OJ from the fridge?.... Ugg this OJ is terrible, but I'll have another anyway.

I like that my sims get water, it's realistic because I'm always getting water too. I live in the dessert so we gotta stay hydrated. So help me if they take this out like they did the auto woo hoo it's gonna grind my gears.

I get annoyed enough by them getting juice and milk from the fridge constantly. The mod I had doesn't work anymore to stop it.

It's odd though. Although in my household they are all prone to getting a drink every now & again, I do worry for my teen girl. She is always at the water. Seriously all the time she either wants to dance or drink water.

I think she may have worms...

Only my sims with the active trait seem to get juice or water constantly. They never get milk.

Mine don't either. Now, bar drinks are another story.
