it's not just kids that are constantly forced into conversations, my sims keep getting forced into conversations as well. it's most notable if you travel to a library and your sim is the only one there besides the librarian. every few minutes that sim will do something and then come and chet, you stop the chat, they go off and a few minutes later and they return to chat. this keep going on and on until the librarian leaves or more sims arrive.
you have no idea how annoying it is having sims annoying your sims to start an idle chat.
on the matter of forced chatting, i wish unfamous sims stop trying to force themselves from chatting to my famous sims. if i can't do it the other way around, why should they do it to my sims? they shouldn't be allowed to unless my sim chats with them first.
